Yes, I ran this code and the .INI file on my compter. Also, if you want help then you will have to state more than "it doesn't work!". What are the error messages? Is the .INI path correct? KiXtart version? What happens if you run it with DEBUG ON?

What's with splitting, joining, splitting? why not just:

Code:

$ini='d:\printer.ini'
$printers=split(readprofilestring($ini,'Printers',''),chr(10))
for each $printer in $printers
$users=split(readprofilestring($ini,'Printers',$printer), ',')
if ascan($users,@USERID)+1
? @USERID+' gets printer '+$printer
endif
next

If his KiX is too old for Split(), then Ascan() would not yeild any better mileage.

I think split didn't work before because he was trying to split an array.

Guys,
I started using Kixtart when it was 4.21. It cannot be TOO old, can it?
I check your codes with kixtart 4.22, so let's not consider that point.

A) The code works under Kixtrat v4.22
B) SPLIT-JOIN-SPLIT removes the potential spaces in the list of users and converts it into an array.
C) A "It doesn't work" statement is not helpful, provide details as requested in my previous post.

Ok.
There's my c:\printers.ini file:
[Printers]
Printer1=andry,mark,gwen,nick
Printer2=raman,helen,dave
Printer3=wendy,mavis,nicole

I ran the following code:
Break On
?@STARTDIR
?@SCRIPTexe
?@KIX
?@SCRIPTDIR
$ini='c:\printer.ini'
$printers=split(readprofilestring($ini,'Printers',''),chr(10))
for each $printer in $printers
$users=split(readprofilestring($ini,'Printers',$printer), ',')
if ascan($users,@USERID)+1
? @USERID+' gets printer '+$printer

EndIf
Next
Sleep 1000

===========
I used the macros to give you some ideas about kixtart version etc. My USERID is andry

The Output I get from the script above is:

C:\Program Files\PrimalScript\andry\Scripts
KIX32.EXE
4.22
C:\Program Files\PrimalScript\andry\Scripts

In other words, it just prints the macroses and then goes to the SLEEP statemnt. I've traced the script and it appears that $users array is never built properly that's why it cannot find my userid in the $users array.

Thanks for spending your time on my issue.

That's why your .INI file is called C:\PRINTERS.INI and in the script you call C:\PRINTER.INI.
