Confused, can't read INI value correctly

INI:
script:
Code: Select all
...
$path=getkey(path,vars, "path\to\file.ini");
new("$path\res\some.file", file);
Doesn't work. (neither with any other SC in fact) Why?
If I use the actual value within the script as :
$path="<xyscripts>\xyskins" then it works. But again doesn't work if the ini value is quoted (
path='<xyscripts>\xyskins' path="<xyscripts>\xyskins")
Please help.

You forgot the quote
Code: Select all
$path=getkey("path","vars", "path\to\file.ini");

Nope, it's the same with quotes in getkey...

Doesn't work means: The <xyscripts> variable isn't resolved?
I've had similiar issues with windows environment variables yesterday and I've had to use eval() to do that...
In fact my paths weren't resolved if they contained more than just the environment variable, I even had to
do this...
Code: Select all
$envVarList = regexmatches($item, "%[^%]+%", "|");
foreach($envVar, $envVarList, "|") {
$item = replace($item, $envVar, eval($envVar));
Can't remember that I had the same issues in the past so maybe a regression?

Single or double quotes? Have you tested bino's line exactly as it was quoted?
I am asking because

doesn't work as you obviously expect since single quotes are defined to prevent XY vars to be evaluated.
Try this
Code: Select all
$path_1="<xyscripts>\xyskins";
$path_2='<xyscripts>\xyskins';
msg($path_1<br>$path_2);
/e: slightly too late - but it's a different flavor.

@Filehero, that was a posting typo, I used "s in script.
@highend, yes, <xyscripts> isn't resolved. I also tried eval() but it gave an "overflow 0/0" error.

Because you've had more than the variable itself in the .ini file for "path" (the "\xyskins" part)
I guess it's a bug.
Until Don fixes it you could use:
Code: Select all
$path = getkey("path","vars", "<xyscripts>\file.ini");
$envVarList = regexmatches($path, "<[^>]+>", "|");
foreach($envVar, $envVarList, "|") {
$path = replace($path, $envVar, eval($envVar));
}
text $path;

Sure looks like a bug.
Thanks for the alt fix. But I only have a few fixed variables, so replacelist should be faster than foreach+regex, right?
Code: Select all
$path = replacelist($path, '<xyscripts>|<xydata>…', "<xyscripts>|<xydata>…");

Absolutely. In my case I didn't want to populate a list with > 20 environment variables manually
Don't forget to add the separator "|" to your replacelist() command^^

Right, thanks again!

This is where the reprocess parameter of
set comes in handy (and it also works with environment variables):
Code: Select all
set $path, getkey('path','vars', 'path\to\file.ini'), 'r';
new("$path\res\some.file", file);

Yes, I'd tried this too while trying to solve:
Code: Select all
$path = getkey("path", "vars", "path\to\file,ini");
new("$path\res\some.file", file);
But in this case, the $path variable's value turns into the full path of <xyscripts>\Xyskins. I needed to keep it in the short form (for portability).
with "r": $path="C:\path\to\xyplorer\xydata\scripts\xyskins"
need to keep: $path="<xyscripts>\xyskins" and expand <xyscripts> ONLY where $path is used.
I'm going to either use highend's solution or just hardcode the path.

Then only use a reprocessing set right before using $path or combine it with a reversed ResolvePath to keep it relative to <xyscripts>.
