Hi!
When i use
ReadIniFile>.\modalitet\I80914,worklist,AET,VAET
I get Inifile in Readinifile does not exist.
My 7.3 compiled inireader.exe is in the same folder as the folder named modalitet containig the I80914 ini file.
Using a Absolute Path(c:\tjo\modalitet\I80914) works. But I whant to have a relative.
Thanks!

Hi,

The help gives an example where the .ini extension is explicitly part of the readinifile command. Your code doesn't contain .ini in the command. Try adding that and see if it works.

Best,
Henk

Thanks for the reply, But it was me who had missed that the .scp uses the
C:\Program Files\MJT Net Ltd\Macro Scheduler as a path and not the folder where the .scp is started from.
I got lost in the debugging.

If I were you I'd get the current path with CWD - the current working directory could change depending on what else the script has done, or whether the script is being run from Macro Scheduler or as an executable. Use the built-in CWD variable.

Also, since it was mentioned by Henk, the file name for an INI file used by ReadIniFile> is not an issue. The name can be any valid file name. See this thread for a more complete explanation. Particularly, Bob Hansen's second post.

Later,
Dick

Maybe using %SCRIPT_DIR%\myinifile.ini would help?

Yes, SCRIPT_DIR should be used where the INI file is always in the same folder as the script.
