IniWrite problem

IniWrite,"%TargetDir%\I386\txtsetup.sif","ScsiClass.Load","ramdisk","ramdisk.sys"

IniWrite,"%TargetDir%\I386\txtsetup.sif","ScsiClass.Load","ramdisk","ramdisk.sys"

1- when tring to build a script with this line using 072 it tell's me that there's a syntax error !

• What about the lines before and afTERß
• Try to rewrite the line and to delete the old one.

IniWrite,"%TargetDir%\I386\TXTSETUP.SIF","SetupData","osloadoptions",""/fastdetect /minint""
IniWrite,"%TargetDir%\I386\TXTSETUP.SIF","SetupData","loaderprompt",""Starting BartPE...""

but this is not the actual entries that i'm tring to write to txtsetup.sif
i'm tring to write these value's
...
that already exists in the orignal file from %sourcedir%

i'm using WXPSP2_EN

here's the log file

The log is not from the code you posted above

There are additional #$s.

Peter

the "additional #$s" is placed by wb it's not mine

here's
the script and log file

Result: Something is different on your system.

I use final WB 072.

You have: "%BaseDir% = C:\WinBuilder071"
Do you still work with a beta?

Yes
i'm using tweaked source by nLite .. it seams that it set the TXTSETUP.sif file to readonly and that's why the problem occured

Waiting for the next ! (?)

Message,"message",Information

Glad it's solved - I was going to report the same results as Peter..

If an Ini command fails because the file is readonly:
Do log a "Cannot Write" rather than "Syntax Error"

Here's another
Message,"message",Information
this command won't work if you add spaces in front of it

• Split the command line into an array of arguments. Split delimiter is the comma
  (that is the reason, why inside an argument a comma must be replaced by #$c)
• take the first argument (completely, including leading and trailing white spaces) to dispatch to the corresponding routine.
  If in the dispatch table no match is found, the complete line is treated as comment: No log, no error message, just: "I do nothing"

Please post the syntax you're using..

If you meant a space as the first character then it's only natural that it isn't recognized since "message" is different from " message"

We could add support for spaces inside the commands - I guess you meant to use some organization to subdivide the code right?


That's something I also use on daily basis while coding, Peter is right about the procedure and I will also look into and see if things go well without significant performance loss. (this would mean removing all spaces inside the command identifier - good for 5~10 lines until you multiply by thousands.. )
