No, you have to get the UDFs separately.

hey do you guys know of the function to force lower case letters on a name
i need the pcAlias=tolower($Element) to do something like that?
i cant find the tolower function?? in kix
....


Kix has Ucase and Lcase to convert to upper or lower case characters.
See the example below.
 Code:
Break on

$test = "ABCdefGHI"
? LCase($test)
? UCase($test)
Sleep 5

so I need to some do a scan and find it in this block
and then edit it? how do i do that?


If the section is always called UBS then you can just use the ReadProfileString funtion (build in in kix. it does not matter if the name value to read in the first second or whatever line.

 Code:
If ReadProfileString('.\fsp.ini', 'Ubs', 'pcAlias') <> 'Correct_Value'
  $Rc = WriteReadProfileString('.\fsp.ini', 'Ubs', 'pcAlias', 'Correct_Value')
EndIf
See - three lines, no UDFs.

Just reference the correct path for '.\fsp.ini', and change the 'Correct_Value' string to what you need.

Itdaddy, I may be missing something, but won't it be easier to just use readprofilestring as earlier suggested instead of reading the entire file into an array?

Once again, the manual is your friend..

I suggest that you (and anyone else not totally familiar with the Kix language) take 10 minutes, browse to the online command reference, and do the following:
Create a spreadsheet with two columns.. in the left column, copy & paste the COMMAND name
In the right column, copy & paste the ACTION sentence.

You now have a command index. It simply lists the commands that are available and what they do.. it can likely fit on one double-sided page. If you want to know how to use the command, you check the manual or online reference.

The biggest challenge that most of my students have is knowing what commands exist, whether we're talking about programming, or Unix shell. Most people can read the manual and figure out what to do once they know which command to use.

I have a similar chart on the wall of my office, except it references the UDFs in my library. Saves lots of wear on the bald spot. ;\)

Glenn and Apronk you both were right..darn
I shuld have just listen to you both. When I used
eriqjaffe code it distorts the INI file big time weird stuff happens
but we both tried. It was nice to see what happens with and INI file wow
really weird stuff for the outputarray..I might end up doing it in C++
I know C++ better than Kixtart. But will give the enumINI UDFs a try.
and get back with you guys later once I have perfected it.

and to you eriqjaffe thanks for helping me. I learned more about Kix from using your code thank you ver much sir!

Hey glenn it gives me an error on the write I am sure my syntax is wrong?
I will keep trying, but any suggestions will be helpful..thanks
back to the debugging and trial and errror. thanks
 Code:
Break on
Dim $PClist
Dim $array

$PClist = "ftran1", "ftran2", "ftran3"

for each $Element in $PClist
	If ReadProfileString('.\fsp.ini', 'Ubs', 'PCAlias') <> 'PCAlias=$Element'
	LCase($Element)
	? $Element
  	$Rc = WriteReadProfileString('.\fsp.ini', 'Ubs', 'pcAlias', 'PCAlias='+$Element)
	Shell "CMD.EXE /C xcopy .\fsp.ini  \\$Element\c$\WINDOWS\ /y"
EndIf
 
next

My head hurts...

Please look at my example - carefully.. then look at your code - they are quite different.

sorry glenn,
not sure what goes in the correct_value is that the value on the right
of the = sign? of pcalias? sorry for not understanding.



 Code:

$PClist = "ftran1", "ftran2", "ftran3"

for each $Element in $PClist

	If ReadProfileString('fsp.ini', 'Ubs', 'pcAlias') <> '$Element'
	$Element = LCase($Element)
  	$Rc = WriteReadProfileString('fsp.ini', 'Ubs', 'pcAlias', '$Element')
	EndIf

next

Closer..

Get the variables out of the quotes - $Element, not '$Element', and you need to make up your mind - READWRITEprofilestring is much too indecisive - do you want to READ or WRITE a profile string? ;\)

thanks sorry about that..my goal is only to write a string only
then copy that file to the respective $Element and then do it again for the next $Element..I just want the code to find the PCAlias= line and place
the $Element on the line. I know that you know that but I am just resummarizing it. will give it a go! thank you

what do you mean about the read or right? then do I leave the <> ''
blank like that and then leave $Element in the write line?

Hey glenn I keep getting this error..man do I feel stupid here..

 Code:

C:\KIX>kix32 RFSPINI.KIX

ERROR : expected ')'!
Script: C:\KIX\RFSPINI.KIX
Line  : 11

C:\KIX>PAUSE
Press any key to continue . . .


and my code is now this?

 Code:
for each $Element in $PClist

	If ReadProfileString('C:\KIX\fsp.ini', 'Ubs', 'pcAlias') <> ''
	$Element = LCase($Element)
  	$Rc = WriteReadProfileString('fsp.ini', 'Ubs', 'pcAlias', $Element )
	EndIf

next


do you mean take out the if/endif statement and the read function? and just leave the write function?

Glenn you would be pround of your dumb code monkey(hee hee)
I looked at the kix manual for WriteReadProfileString()
and took out the 'Read' and it works ;\)
hahhaa
you the man glenn now take care of that headache! ahah
thanks fortaking your time to help me;) really
glenn this works perfect thanks
some day I hope I am as good as you are probably not
but I will try ;\)
 Code:
$PClist = "ftran1", "ftran2", "ftran3"

for each $Element in $PClist
	$Element = LCase($Element)
	? $Element
  	$Rc = WriteProfileString('C:\KIX\fsp.ini', 'Ubs', 'pcAlias', $Element)
	sleep 20

next
