Yini reading Example

[[SOB]Chris]

Hi, Every One.
I just want a example for how to use the (Yini Inc) for reading .ini
I have a ini file in the nex path

scriptfiles/example/test.ini

and the ini contains

testkey = 1

how i can read the test key and store his value in a varible using yini.
Thanks.

Someone plz.
Thanks.

gA = dini_Get("myini.ini", "c");
gB = dini_Get("myini.ini", "b");
gC = dini_Get("myini.ini", "a");

And this ini file:

a = 10
b = 67
c = 42

If you can't tell that will open and close the file 3 times and read 6 lines in, just for 3 values - surely you should just open the file once and read 3 lines? This is the equivalent y_ini code:

INI:myini[](name[], value[])
{
    INI_String("a", gA);
    INI_String("b", gB);
    INI_String("c", gC);
}

INI_Load("myini.ini");

The code is a little longer, but it's much faster, only reading the file once. Esentially y_ini uses callbacks to load files instead of explicitly reading individual values, which means files are read in the order they are stored. I intend to add the option to load individual values later, but there's rarely any need if you do things properly - read a file and get the data, it's not going to change unless you change it.

INI:test[](name[], value[])
{
    if (!strcmp(name, "testkey"))
    {
        gSaveVar = strval(value);
    }
}

INI_Load("example\test.ini");

damn here is my code

new pAKA[128];
        INI_Load("ladmin/config/aka.txt");
        INI:aka[](name[], value[])
        {
            if (!strcmp(name, "tmp3"))
            {
                pAKA = value;
            }
        }

i try this to

new pAKA[128];
        INI_Load("ladmin/config/aka.txt");
        INI:aka[](name[], value[])
        {

            INI_String("tmp3", pAKA);
        }

but the compiler send me this erros, wtfail im doing wrong? sorry for be to newbie u.u

.pwn(725) : error 029: invalid expression, assumed zero
.pwn(725) : error 017: undefined symbol "@INI_aka_"
.pwn(725) : error 017: undefined symbol "@INI_aka_"
.pwn(725) : fatal error 107: too many error messages on one line

send the same error just in diferent line haha, i missed something?

.pwn(725) : error 017: undefined symbol "@INI_aka_"
.pwn(725) : error 017: undefined symbol "@INI_aka_"

aka is a function, you seem to be putting it inline with other code.

[[SOB]Chris]

i see then i need to use global variables for my sistems =S?

[Y_Less]

Yes, or you can also use function calls such as SetPlayerHealth in that callback (obviously if your ini contains data on health for example).
