Hello

I've got a config file for doing different types of builds, and I was
wondering how I parse it with a VB script.

The file configfile.txt is in the format

[BUILDTYPE1]
swmodule1=123-4567
swmodule2=123-4568
swmodule3=123-4569
swmodule4=123-4570

[BUILDTYPE2]
swmodule1=125-4567
swmodule2=125-4568
swmodule3=125-4569
swmodule4=125-4570

So the thought is if I'm doing a build of BUILDTYPE2 how do I get just that
section and the part numbers of the individual modules with in it?

Perhaps a simple solution like the one below will do the trick. Note that it
employs no error checking.

sConfig = "d:\temp\test.txt"
sBuild = "[BUILDTYPE2]"
Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
aConfig = Split(oFSO.OpenTextFile(sConfig).ReadAll, VbCrLf)
For i = 0 To UBound(aConfig)
If aConfig(i) = sBuild Then
For j = 1 To 4
WScript.Echo Split(aConfig(i+j), "=")(1)
Next
Exit For
End If
Next

You can use string manipulation functions.
The file is just a string. Another option is
here:

http://www.jsware.net/jsware/scripts.php5#classpk

There's an INI class in the download. You paste
the class into your script and use it as an object.
It encapsulates full INI functionality for
convenience.
