Mart Mart KiX Supporter Registered: 2002-03-27 Posts: 4673 Loc: The Netherlands	Originally Posted By: itdaddy .... 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 Originally Posted By: itdaddy ... 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. _________________________ Mart - Chuck Norris once sold ebay to ebay on ebay.

Just reference the correct path for '.\fsp.ini', and change the 'Correct_Value' string to what you need. Glenn _________________________ Actually I am a Rocket Scientist! $\:D$

Glenn Barnas Glenn Barnas KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-01-28 Posts: 4396 Loc: New Jersey	Originally Posted By: itdaddy hey do you guys know of the function to force lower case letters on a name 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 _________________________ Actually I am a Rocket Scientist! $\:D$

itdaddy itdaddy Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2006-12-19 Posts: 145 Loc: Wisconsin	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! -Robert _________________________ Robert A+, CCNA, MCP Network Admin Credit Union Wisconsin

itdaddy itdaddy Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2006-12-19 Posts: 145 Loc: Wisconsin	Oh I see cool! wow hey thanks was wondering how to handle the dynamic line of code like that. wow thank yeah will have to use the enumini like you guys suggested the other way distorts the ini file output array big time $;\)$ _________________________ Robert A+, CCNA, MCP Network Admin Credit Union Wisconsin

itdaddy itdaddy Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2006-12-19 Posts: 145 Loc: Wisconsin	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 Edited by itdaddy (2009-12-03 05:44 PM) _________________________ Robert A+, CCNA, MCP Network Admin Credit Union Wisconsin

Glenn Barnas Glenn Barnas KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-01-28 Posts: 4396 Loc: New Jersey	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? $;\)$ Glenn _________________________ Actually I am a Rocket Scientist! $\:D$

itdaddy itdaddy Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2006-12-19 Posts: 145 Loc: Wisconsin	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?
