Error in ReadINIFile Command

Occasionally I get the error message "error in ReadINIFile command" when running my macro. Any ideas?

Thanks,

FC

Where's my crystal ball .. nope, can't find it. Perhaps you could send your script code and a log file instead .... ?

My crystal ball was in the closet... behind the Atari. It said that if you set a variable that is the same as the section name, to nul, you will get this error.

In other words I created a valid ini file called test.ini at c:\ then ran this script and I saw the error message "error in ReadINIFile command".

Let>section=
ReadIniFile>c:\test.ini,section,entry,var

P.S. The battery just went dead on the crystal ball and I can't find the charger.

I think that fixed it!

I am using MS to copy a string, find a section in the INI matching the string, and get data from it. Sometimes nothing was copied and the string was null. The notes above would explain my error.

Thanks!!

EDIT: Still no error! Thanks again! (July 30, 2007)
