KIXKicks KIXKicks Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2002-07-26 Posts: 177 Loc: Vancouver, WA	Can I read a file when conditions on it? I want it to read the file and return the data if the Case statement is true. It works if it is in the main kix file but the list is getting rather large and I was hoping to separate the code from the list. Such as (code is best guess) Code: TESTSCRIPT.KIX $LICENSEDUSER = ReadProfileString('C:\NETWORK\SOFTWARE.INI', 'DS_CATIA_V5_19', $LICENSEVALID) SOFTWARE.INI File [DS_CATIA_V5_19] Select Case $USERNAME = "AGarcia" And $SERIALNO = "1234567" $DRIVE = "D:" $LICENSEVALID = "YES" EndSelect

Outline your process flow, not your code, so we can figure out the best way to help. Glenn _________________________ Actually I am a Rocket Scientist! $\:D$

Glenn Barnas Glenn Barnas KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-01-28 Posts: 4402 Loc: New Jersey	After further head scratching, I'm guessing you know the local license # and username and want to determine if they match.. if so, set some other values. If so, then here's some ideas: Code: $SerialNo = '123' ; read from registry, maybe? ; get the user associated to this serial number $RegUser = ReadProfileString('software.ini', $SerialNo, 'RegisteredUser') ; See if they match If $RegUser = @USERID $Drive = ReadProfileString('software.ini', $SerialNo, 'Drive') $LicenseValid = 'Yes' EndIf The ini file would be something like: Code: ; Each section is a serial number [123] RegisteredUser=AGarcia Drive=D: Glenn _________________________ Actually I am a Rocket Scientist! $\:D$

Glenn Barnas Glenn Barnas KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-01-28 Posts: 4402 Loc: New Jersey	Might be, but every time you change code to alter data, you risk the code not working. External data is always the better option. Anytime that I need to work with variable data, I start by building the data file - either an INI or CSV file. Excel, too, since I can dump it to CSV easily. With FileIO() and CSV() I can read the entire file with one line and enumerate it, converting the CSV records to arrays. Only after I have the data laid out do I start writing the script to use the data and then process it. I can alter the data anytime and never touch the script again.
