inifile : strange behaviour : CVI7

[Pierre_63]

Hi,
I'm surprised to see that ReadFromFile seems to sort items for sections.For example,
[Section]
0x0B = TEST1
0x0A = Test2

If I get items one by one with Ini_NthItemName(i).The first is 0x0A not 0x0B !. So, it seems like IniFile.Fp sort the items even if I uses Ini_DisableSort(). Why ?

[Chris Matthews]

I couldn't reproduce this. When you create the ini file with INI_New(0), it shouldn't auto-sort when you read. I also tested creating with Ini_New(1), then calling Ini_DisableSort() BEFORE calling Ini_ReadFromFile and it also did not auto-sort. So both code examples below, didn't sort the list in memory.

g_myInifile = Ini_New (0);
Ini_ReadFromFile (g_myInifile, g_fileName);

or

g_myInifile = Ini_New (1);
Ini_DisableSort(g_myIniFile);
Ini_ReadFromFile (g_myInifile, g_fileName);

Thank you.

I didn't sort the inifile inside my project but you're right, in another very simple application it works fine. I will searched again what happends.
I've noticed that localui.fp automatically load inifile.fp, so it's not necessary to add it n the project.Is it true ?

[Chris Matthews]

That's true. However, we provide the source code of inifile.fp (inifile.c) for you, in case you need or want to modify or debug it, so it may help to add the inifile.c file to your project so you can step through the inifile code and see what is going on.

OK.I've found the trouble.It comes from my application.
Thank you.
