Keyvalues

Hello, I'm trying to get the value of a key, and I've tried many ways and it still doesn't work... there's no errors in the compilation, but I can't get the name of key, when I do a print chat it doesn't show anything.

here my config file

test.cfg

Code:

"Test"

{

        "name" "jesus"

}

function which grabs key value

Code:

public motd(client, target) {



        

    new String:sPath[PLATFORM_MAX_PATH]; 



    BuildPath(Path_SM, sPath, sizeof(sPath), "configs/test.cfg"); 

        

        new String:sVal[64]; 

    if(!FileExists(sPath)) { 

        PrintToChat(client, "Error"); 

        return; 

    } 



    new Handle:KV = CreateKeyValues("Test"); 

    FileToKeyValues(KV, sPath); 





    KvGetString(KV, "name", sVal, sizeof(sVa)); 

    PrintToChat(client, "good to go %s", sVal)

Thanks

Re: Keyvalues

KvGetString(KV, "name", sVa, sizeof(sVa));

You forgot the l, my friend.

Re: Keyvalues

/configs/test.cfg

Maybe? I'm not too sure, I'm also having problems with KeyValues.

Re: Keyvalues

You need to call KvGotoFirstSubKey first.

and don't forget to CloseHandle the KV Handle after you're done ;)

CloseHandle(KV);

still doesn't work :(

KvGotoFirstSubKey without the second argument being set to false will just return false with this structure, as there are no subkeys under the root (only values).

KvGotoFirstSubKey with the second argument being set to false will make

PHP Code:


		
			
KvGetString(KV, "name", sVal, sizeof(sVal));

return false, as it should since a value doesn't have any values beneath it.

PHP Code:


		
			
KvGetString(KV, NULL_STRING, sVal, sizeof(sVal));

should work at that point, though.

Still,

PHP Code:


		
			
KvGetString(KV, "name", sVal, sizeof(sVal));

should work without needing KvGotoFirstSubKey...

Re: Keyvalues

Well, I tested it and it doesn't, I've been looking at this for hours and can't find a way for this to work
