Reading INI Files ? URGENT !!!

how can I read an INI file in Sun Solaris OS ? Is there any built-in package or external package ??
Its very Urgent.
Thanks in advance,
Rajesh

Urgent, urgent, urgent. Do you really think this will speed up this thing?
I do not.
As far as I know, you have to use the built-in text_io package.

Labview Read INI File Slow

Dear ALL:
I have a VI use OpenG Read INI Cluster subvi to read a complex cluster data structure called step config data,and when I Run this VI,It sometimes read INI File quickly,and sometimes read INI File very slowly.If I want to speed up the read INI File speed,I must quit labview and restart it,and when I quit labview it will reports error just look like Labview Error Message.JPG

I've got the same problem - it takes from 4 to 20 SECONDS to write and read 2 ini file clusters.
The first cluster I write have a few text strings, an error cluster and some numbers.
The second is an array of clusters (I loop through the array and writes each cluster separately.) containing some text and numbers, most of it contained in sub-clusters.
With 0 or 1 element in the array it takes around 4 secs to write and read this to ini file. With 20 in the cluster this takes 20 seconds (on a cFP-2120).
The openG functionality here is quite nice, but if I can't fix this time problem I'm afraid its quite useless!

Reading 'ini files'

I need to write code that reads 'ini files', I would like to know If anyone has a sample or can guide me how to approach this task.
Thank you

If you have an ini file with values like :Thank you for your prompt reply. You got me intrigue, By any chance do you know where can I get more information about property files?
Thank you for your help.
value1=test
value2=another test
You can read the values by doing :
Properties props = new Properties();
FileInputStream fis = new
FileInputStream("D:\\test.ini");
props.load(fis);
fis.close();
String value1 = props.getProperty("value1");
// etc .........................Note : Unless there is some specific reason you should
use a properties file and not an ini file.

Reading INI files with dashes in the section name

I am trying to read an INI file from a web site. Within that INI file are sections that have dashes in them. I need to be able to read several sections so I can locate specific files to download referenced within the INI files. I found a script for parsing
INI files, but when I run it, the script fails to handle the sections that have dashes. Any ideas on how I can work around the issue?
$Web = New-Object System.Net.WebClient
Function Get-INIContent ($ContentList){
$INI = @()
Switch -regex ($contentList)
"^\[(.+)\]"
[string]$Section = $Matches[1]
$INI[$Section] = @{}
$CommentCount = 0
$ContentList = $Web.Downloadstring("http://download.nai.com/PRODUCTS/COMMONUPDATER/avvdat.ini")
Get-INIContent $contentlist
What I was hoping to do was search through the INI until I found the sections I want, and then read the fields for that section so I know what to download. I won't be pulling all of the files, so I need to find a way to search for the sections I am
looking for then read all of the lines for that section and process them.

Found part of the problem... When I pull the file into a variable I lose the ability to search it line by line. For example:
$Web = New-Object System.Net.WebClient
$ContentList = $Web.Downloadstring("http://download.nai.com/PRODUCTS/COMMONUPDATER/avvdat.ini")
#For some reason this returns the entire file
$contentlist | select -first 1
$contentlist | %{
#Thought this would be one line, but it is also
#the entire file...
$_
I have since shifted to a different method of reading the ini and I can process row by row...
$Web = New-Object System.Net.WebClient
$INILocation = "c:\SomeLocation\avvdat.ini"
$Web.DownloadFile("http://download.nai.com/PRODUCTS/COMMONUPDATER/avvdat.ini",$INILocation)
$INIFile = [System.IO.File]::OpenText($INILocation)
Do {
$CurrentLine = $INIFile.ReadLine()
#This is now one line like it should be.
$CurrentLine
While ($INIFile.EndOfStream -ne $True)

Read ini file in TestStand

Read ini file with multiple threads

I have a state machine architecture, but I have multiple threads. For instance, one is dealing with listening for mulitple tcp connections and storing their refnums to an array in a functional global. Another thread is accessing these refnums and collecting data it's receiving from each tcp connection. This data is queued up and then dequeued in a third thread which does some modification and sends it out via serial. My question is, when you have a situation like this and have to read an ini file, where should you read it? It seems like the most logical place would be outside your loops so you can get all the tcp and serial info (port, baud rate, etc) then wire it it to your create listener or initialize serial connection despite them being in different threads. But then again, normal state machine architecture would want an "initialize" case. If you did this though which loop would you put the init case in? And you would then have to worry about synchronizing loops becuase you wouldn't want one to try and create a listener while another thread was still reading ini data which would include the port to listen on. Maybe I'm overthinking this haha. Suggestions? Edit: one more question. Does it seem overkill that I have a tcp loop listening for data and queuing it up and a separate loop sending out the processed data via serial? Or should I just have one state that gets tcp data stores it in a shift register, then another state that sends it out via serial, and returns the state machine to the tcp read state?

CLA, LabVIEW Versions 2010-2013

Most of the applications I work on at the moment are used for testing barcode and label printers. The test applications I design are focused on testing the printer's firmware, not the hardware. Within our applications we have three primary objects (Unfortunately they are not native LabVIEW objects yet. They were developed before native LVOOP.) The primary objects we use in our applications are a log object, a connection object (communication interface to the printer) and a printer object. In any single instance of a test we only have a single printer, a single connection to the printer and one or more discrete logs. Each instance of these objects represent a single, real physical entity. A singleton object is a virtual representation of the physical world. Let's take the log object since that is the most simple of the objects described above. Naturally for a given log file you have the log file name and path. We also provide other attributes such as the maximum size of a single file (we allow log files to span multiple files), whether it is a comma delimited file or if it contains raw data, if timestamps should be included with a log entry and so forth. Most of these attributes are static for a log file with the exception of the name and such things as whether the logging is actually enabled or disabled. If we split a wire and had multiple instances of the log file (the way native LVOOP actually works) the attribute for whether logging is currently enabled or disabled will only pertain to the specific instance, or specific wire for the that object. Since this truly represents a single item, one log file, we need that attribute to be shared for all references to the instance of the log object. Since we allow this we can set an attribute on the log object in any task and it will be reflected in any other task that is using it. Think of the way a action engine or functional global works. However, in this case we provide discrete methods for the various actions.
I hope that made some sense. If not let me know since I just whipped up this response.

Reader.ini - offline network folder keeps changing

I have offline folders setup for all of my users for use with their personal home drives (network drives). Everytime they syncronize their offline folders before leaving at night, windows always lets them know that the "reader.ini" file is different than the one on the network. It is getting very annoying. Does anybody know what is cauing this? Any type of work around? Why is reader.ini in a network folder in the first place? Have tried deleting it but it just comes back.
S

I have the same issue with the reader.ini file. Because it's default location is the Windows My Documents path (which in this case is a syncronised folder) you constantly get sync conflicts.
We need to know how to change the behavoir of Adobe so the reader.ini is in somewhere else like C:\Docs & Set\%user%\App Data\Adobe. I'm not sure why it's not in the first place.
Can anyone from Adobe please address this?

Visual c++ load .ini files to combobox

Lion server file sharing issue with windows API read/write ini file (GetPrivateProfileString)

Hello,
I try to config lion server as file server for a windows application we use at work. All other computers are windows 7 or XP, lion server is the only mac. I choose lion server because it's size, quality and personal love of apple products.
10.7.2 lion server's samba file sharing works almost perfectly with all my windows machines, I can copy, delete, modify any text files or office files without any issue, but the most important windows application for my business doesn't work with samba file sharing. After some digging, I found it is because windows program can't read or write INI file stored on lion share. Windows API GetPrivateProfileString always returns empty if the INI file is store on lion share.
You can download a small application for read/write windows INI file from codeproject.com to test this problem:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/files/ini.aspx
I can open/edit the in file using any text editor without any problem. The only problem is with those windows APIs. ACL is turned on for my lion share and assigned "delete" rights to samba users.
I install samba3 on the same server; it works perfectly with windows API. My windows program also works. Looks like there is something wrong with lion server's sambax.
I'd prefer to use built-in samba even I have samba3 working. Built-in samba is very immature right now, but considered how young it is, I will give apple some time to make it mature.
Does anyone have same issue or knows how to fix it?
Thanks,
Michael.

All the memory is fine. The server rarely if ever goes down when there are only around 10-12 users connected. When there are 20+ users connected and working heavily it goes down often. When I say working heavily, I mean they are transferring huge files to the SAN (100GB+), sometimes 5 at a time per user, and there are a bunch of others who are reading large video files at a minimum of 220MB/sec from the SAN.
Though this worked on Snow Leopard without any issues, Lion just doesn't seem to be able to handle it. The odd thing is, on Snow Leopard there was only a single 1GB ethernet connection to a NAS system, whereas with Lion we have a much more powerful machine with a 6-port 10GB ethernet card and a 4 lane 8GB fiber card to a true SAN. You would think that the newer scenario with Lion would handle far more users with ease.
So far, very disappointing with regards to Lion's file serving performance.

How to edit the setup.ini file of the Adobe Reader X MUI?

Hi everyone.
I discovered today that is is possible to edit the setup.ini file of the Adobe Reader X MUI 10.1 installer (multilingual) in order to customize the installation. I stil have some questions about this.
1. I would like to make a custom installation of Reader X in german, english, french and spanish. Is this possible? I want to leave out all other languages from my installation..,.
2. I would like to edit the ini file to make an automatic update of my Reader, by installing all the patches (10.10, 10.11, 10.12, 10.13, 10.14, 10.15 and 10.16). Is this possible?
I patched my Reader manually, but when I install only the 10.15 and 10.16 updates, some functions are still missing (signature toolbar and add text function) so I suspect the patches are not-cumulative.
Can anyone on the forums show me the right codes for doing this? How can I get a 4-language upgraded Reader X?
Sincerely yours.
K. Adam.

See the docs: http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/index.html.
The admin guide tells you what updates are cumulative (all 10.x quarterlies) and how to set the lang via the cmd line. However, check out the Wizard Guide and download the free Wizard to customize your install and .ini as needed. Much easier.

Read and sort values present in .ini file

Hi all,
I have a .ini file in which a set of modules with there order of execution is mentioned.I want to get all these values sorted as an array so that I can proceed with the execution of each in the order mentioned.The module list in the .ini file looks like this:
Here, digits represent the order of execution of module.
I should get output as an array with following values:
1 MNO
2 DEF
3 STU
4 PQR
5 GHI
6 VWZ

How to read the contens of an ini-File

How can I read the contens of an ini-File?

Depends on what you have in the file - ini file with or without sections.
Without sections: you may be able to read it as a property file.
With sections: You'll have to implement a class to read and parse the file, and a class to hold the parsed results.
If you have to build your own objects, I found the easiest way was to read each line and use the StringParser to pick it apart. My data holding object was pretty simple -
o A Vector to hold Section objects.
o A Section object with a Vector to hold each Entry object.
o An Entry object
o Appropriate getters and setters to look up stuff I wanted or to insert it.
My model for the object was the Borland C++ IniFile object, but I separated the I/O so that I could read or write from any stream I wished, including just a long string.
o an internal object for section, an internal object for entry

[CS3 Win]It is possible read an ini file when starting InDesing and hide some menus?

Hi all.
My plugin reads a ini file to configurate the main menu.
It is possible read this file when starting InDesing and hide some submenus created in Myplugin.fr?
I have no problem to hide/show a menu, but I don´t know what is the first event that runs after loading my plugin.
Is there other possible way to do this?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Juanma.

Have you tried implementing a startup/shutdown service provider (IID_IAPPSTARTUPSHUTDOWN)? If it's too late to hide the menu, then an IMenuFilter/IActionFilter should do the job for you to hide menu. Or you can dynamically build the menu on the fly too (see dynamicmenu sample from SDK)

When loading, "pop-up" says "Cannot read XUL Runner.ini file

Up until a few weeks ago, Firefox worked great! Then for some reason when I try to start it from the menu page, a "pop-up box" comes on the screen saying it "can't read the XUL Runner.ini file". I've tried deleting Firefox, but I get the can't read the XUL Runner.ini file. I've tried reloading a fresh copy to install but it refuses it install it saying it "can't read the XUL Runner.ini file and the installation failed. I use AVAST Antivirus and no virus has been reported. HELP!

Some files may have been locked or protected by security software and may have failed to get updated.
* Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Read and update a ini file

Hi all,
I want to read an INI file which the structure as follows.
[Head]
Name=Bool
Key=Next
Text=Java
[More]
Here=NewThis is the way I read it.
            Properties pro = new Properties();
            pro.load(new FileInputStream("temp.ini"));
        // Try to display them
            System.out.println("Text is: " + pro.getProperty("Text"));
            System.out.println("Key is: " + pro.getProperty("Key"));
            System.out.println("Name is: " + pro.getProperty("Name"));
            System.out.println("Here is: " + pro.getProperty("Here"));Works fine now.
Try to write as follows.
          Properties p = new Properties();
          p.load(new FileInputStream("temp.ini"));
          // new Property
          p.put("today", new Date().toString());
          // modify a Property
          p.put("Text","foo");
          FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("mydat.ini");
          p.store(out, "MyComment");After writing my INI file structure us change as follows.
[More]=
Name=Bool
Key=14
[Head]=
Here=New
today=Fri May 09 12\:13\:43 IST 2008
Text=fooCan you tell me why this happened and how to solve it. :(
Edited by: ItsJava on May 9, 2008 12:15 PM

A Windows ini file is not the same as a Java properties file.
Use the right tool for the job. There is a Ini4j project at Sourceforge. Google it.
