simple question (variable, write ini file )

Hi all,
i have 3 simple point i cant program to my own.

1. I have a Question to the User !

?"How old are you ? example 25 = "

2. This nummber i want to save in a variable.

Gets $age

3. Now i want to save this variable in a text or ini file. Here is my main problem, i tried writeline, writeprofilestring and others but nothing happens. It´s possible that my "gets" is wrong ?
I´m afraid its a very simple syntax.

Thank you for helping me with my first stepps in kix programming.

Best regards
Gremlin

Re: simple question (variable, write ini file )

Hello Gremlin and welcome to the board.

Please take some time and review the Manual that ships with KiXtart as well as the FAQ section on this board. It should prove to be very helpful in getting you started with KiXtart.

Here is an example that you can display in a DOS console window. Then writing to file is easy.

Please let us know if you need further assitance.

The $age var now holds what ever the user types in until they hit the enter key. However, this code does not check for invalid input but KiX does support validation checking as well.


break on
? 'What is your age?  Please type in your age and then press the enter key ' ?
gets $age
? 'You entered '+$age

Gremlin... relax guy. No one wanting to beat you up for being new and not understanding. Some guys get a little "short on manners" when someone shows or continues to show they don't take the time to read the manual or FAQs.

We all had to start out new at some time.

Anyways... please take a look at this post for more information on using an INI file.
Also, please take the time and read at least some of the FAQs here on Korg.

[MyHeader]
age=

and the script

?"How old are u ? z.B 25 = "

Gets $age

Break On
$File="t:\text.ini"
If EXST $File
$nul=WRITEPROFILESTRING ("$File", "MyHeader", "age", "$age")

ELSE

Re: simple question (variable, write ini file )

Cool

Just a minor note. The "MyHeader" name can be anything you want. It was just an example.

For future postings with code please use either the [CODE] Tags to maintain your code layout or PostPrep.

There is a link in my signature for PostPrep.
Very cool app by Lonkero and Jochen for posting code to Korg.

Re: simple question (variable, write ini file )

I´m back sorry

everything works good but now i have a new problem with my syntax.

How i write more as 1 variable in a row split by ",".

I try this:

code:

Break On
$File="t:\text.ini"
$nul=open(1, $File, 5)
$nul = writeline(1, $age,$name,$city + @crlf)
$nul = close(1)

But program said i need "(".
The ini-file should be
25,John,Houston,
`cause i wanted to make a xls evaluation.

Hope this is my last question for this week,
but i believe i will be back soon.

best regards
Gremlin

Re: simple question (variable, write ini file )

quess you should read some of the manual or the starters guide in faq...
over even try out... [Wink]

anyway:

code:

$nul = writeline(1, $age  + "," + $name + "," + $city + @crlf)

cheers

Re: simple question (variable, write ini file )

btw,
as you still keep talking about ini, you should not use writeline but writeprofilestring.

Re: simple question (variable, write ini file )

Or use a txt file instead of an ini. All depends on what you want.
