[Judian81]

hellow rainmeter,

i am trying to read a ini file with in use with lua script. what ever i tryed i can not find a way to retrive the table info from the ini file.


filename is 'categories.lua'

Code: Select all

function ReadIni(inputfilename)
	inputfile = SKIN:MakePathAbsolute(inputfilename)
	local file = assert(io.open(inputfile, 'r'), 'Unable to open ' .. inputfile)
	local tbl, section = {}
	local num = 0
	for line in file:lines() do
		num = num + 1
		if not line:match('^%s-;') then
			local key, command = line:match('^([^=]+)=(.+)')
			if line:match('^%s-%[.+') then
				section = line:match('^%s-%[([^%]]+)'):lower()
				if not tbl[section] then tbl[section] = {} end
			elseif key and command and section then
				tbl[section][key:lower():match('^%s*(%S*)%s*$')] = command:match('^%s*(.-)%s*$')
			elseif #line > 0 and section and not key or command then
				print(num .. ': Invalid property or value.')
			end
		end
	end
	if not section then print('No sections found in ' .. inputfile) end
	file:close()
	Value = tbl
	--Value = inputfilename
	--Value = inputfile
    SKIN:Bang('!Update')
end

function Initialize()
	Value = 2
end

function PassThrough(Number)
	if Number then 
	    Value = Number
	else
		Value = 1
    end
    SKIN:Bang('!Update')
end

function Reset()
	Value = 
    SKIN:Bang('!Update')
end

function Update()
    if Value then
        return Value
	else
		return '10'
	end
end

filename is table.ini

thank you for your time.

You are mixing Lua code and Rainmeter .ini files together, which is incorrect. These lines...

Code: Select all

Table[section2][parameter1] = 'hmm oke'
Table[section1][parameter2] = 'yes?'

...will not work. This is not how you retrieve data from a Lua function. There may be other errors, I did not check further.

I don't have enough knowledge for Lua script.
But I would like to share an example that I have done before.
Here is the script: It takes the data in the file line by line and writes it to the variables
I hope it helps a little bit in doing what you want
