Getting a certain string in a file - Jochemd - 25.09.2010

Hello,

I want to get a certain string out a file. For example: a Player Name. How do I do this with dini? I tried: dini_Get, dini_Int (and I was ensured it wouldnt work cause it is 'integer'). What do I need to use?

Regards, Jochem

If it's a .ini-file use dini_Get. If not, store the whole file in a string, and then use strfind to find the value you are looking for. Anyway i think the strfind sollution is no real sollution, if it's a .ini file, really use dini_Get.

Can you show me how to check for an empty key?

Use the isnull macro.

pawn Код:
#define isnull(%1)                        (!%1[0] || (%1[0] == '\1' && !%1[1]))

How to use that?

if(isnull(stringVar))

returns false if the string contains more than \1 and \0 (empty space and null)
returns true if the string is empty (contains only space and/or null)

pawn Код:
if(isnull(dini_Get("JoAdmin/Configuration/HouseInfo.ini","House1Owner")))
= giving errors...

Really, what is wrong in that? I also tried it with a variable, giving errors...
