Write string to ini file problem

[adobefree@gmail.com]

i was tring to write a string to a ini file , that should be :

[Basic Information]
File Name=C:\\11111.doc

but the result is :

[Basic Information]
File Name="C:\\11111.doc"

where did the double quotation came from?

Hi adobe,

please switch on the context help. Then you would recognize the additional input of "WriteKey" when writing strings...

Other topics:

- Why do you convert the path to a string? Why not write the path directly?

- Why do you use locals here?

- Why do you complain about the quotation marks? When reading the key they will be filtered by LabView anyway...

     i don't think there is any connection with converting path to string, becaus i met the same question in following block diagram , and i have tried to switch "wirte vi" type from automatic to string , also can't work

Hi adobe,

the quotes are written because NI programmed the WriteKey/ReadKey-functions that way. (Hint: just look at those function's block diagram...)

You didn't answer why you don't want them...

- Why do you convert the path to a string? Why not write the path directly?

                   i have show the same problem without converting path to string , mostly this problem happended after i use string format function

- Why do you use locals here?

                  i was using a stacked sequence strcuture , while there was so much frame, and i don't want to use to much

sequence local ,so i use local variable ,for example if i want to swith the following block to stacked sequence strcuture, each vi per frame ,

             how much sequence local  do i need to use? , my solution is to feed the same Local variable in each frame ,or do you have any good idea?

- Why do you complain about the quotation marks? When reading the key they will be filtered by LabView anyway...

                 it was specified format by customer

Hi adobe,

either:

- Filter the ini-file after writing to remove the quotes

- Change and use a copy of the WriteKeyString function

The config file functions are nice to use, but they have their quirks NI-specific implementations...

Ran into the same issue with quotes being added to the value in LV 2009 forward.  fwiw, I've attached a drop in replacement for Write Key (String).vi that doesn't write quotes or escape characters to the file. I just tore out all of the privately scoped subVIs from Add Key.vi so there's one monolithic diagram with no library dependency.

save it please for previous version if possible (2009), not (2013). thank you.
