I found some code, on the net, on access an INI file... I have modified it to try and assign certain values out.
Here is the code: my ($iniFile, $UserID, $Tester, $DNS1, $DNS2, $pwd); $iniFile = 'c:\\test.txt'; &readini; print "Tester : $Tester\n"; print "UserID : $UserID\n"; print "Password: $pwd\n"; print "DNS : $DNS1\n"; print " $DNS2\n"; sub readini { my ($line, $section, $key, $value, @sections); open (INI, $iniFile) || die "could not open $iniFile - $!" ; while ($line = <INI>) { if (($line =~ /^\;/)||($line =~ /^\s+$/)) { #print "Comment or Whitespace\n" ; } else { if ($line =~ /^\[(.+)\]/) { #print "Section Header\n" ; $section = $1 ; print "*****************************************************************\n"; print "*\n"; print "* $section \n"; print "*\n"; print "*****************************************************************\n"; push (@sections, $section) ; } else { chomp $line; ($key,$value) = split(/=/, $line); @section{$key} = $value; if ($key == 'tester') { $Tester = $value; print "* $key\n"; print "* 1 tester $value\n"; } elsif ($key == 'UserID') { $UserID = $value; print "* $key\n"; print "* 2 $UserID value\n"; } elsif ($key == 'pwd') { $pwd = $value; print "* $key\n"; print "* 3 $pwd value\n"; } elsif ($key == 'DNS1') { $DNS1 = $value; print "* $key\n"; print "* 4 $DNS1 value\n"; } elsif ($key == 'DNS2') { $DNS2 = $value; print "* $key\n"; print "* 5 $DNS2 value\n"; } } } } close (INI) ; print "*\n"; print "*****************************************************************\n\n"; } (Note: Comments were removed to shorten it...) It works, almost... The INI file is : [User Info] tester=John Doe UserID=Test123 pwd=123test DNS1=123.60.115.177 DNS2=123.60.115.152 [Hostnames] IP=1.2.3.4 IP=4.3.2.1 IP=128.32.154.233 But I cannot get it to get past the first value... I have tried to make sure that the =='s and ='s are proper... Can someone help with this?? Here is the output I get, no mater what I try.. ***************************************************************** * * User Info * ***************************************************************** * tester * 1 tester John Doe * UserID * 1 tester Test123 * pwd * 1 tester 123test * DNS1 * 1 tester 123.60.115.177 * DNS2 * 1 tester 123.60.115.152 ***************************************************************** * * Hostnames * ***************************************************************** * IP * 1 tester 1.2.3.4 * IP * 1 tester 4.3.2.1 * IP * 1 tester 128.32.154.233 * ***************************************************************** Tester : 128.32.154.233 UserID : Password: DNS : TIA!
