Here is what I have to do:
I have a files full of skills like this:

"Skills"
{
    "1"
    {
        "name"            "Sprint"
        "type"            "Passive"
        "skill"            "sprint"
        "levels"        "7"
        "level1"        "5"
        "level2"        "10"
        "level3"        "10"
        "level4"        "15"
        "level5"        "20"
        "level6"        "20"
        "level7"        "30"
    }
    "2"
    {
        "name"            "HealthRegeneration"
        "type"            "Active"
        "skill"            "hregen"
        "levels"        "7"
        "level1"        "1"
        "level2"        "2"
        "level3"        "3"
        "level4"        "3"
        "level5"        "4"
        "level6"        "4"
        "level7"        "5"
    }
    "...id..."
    {
        "name"            "...name..."
        "type"            "...type..."
        "skill"            "...skill..."
        "levels"        "...levels..."
        "level1"        "..."
         "level..."        "..."
    }
}

I want to read all skills from the file above, sort them (A->Z) and save to another file like this:

"Skill_Data"
{
    "HealthRegeneration"
    {
        "id"            "2"
    }
    "Sprint"
    {
        "id"            "1"
    }
     "...name..."
     {
         "id"            "...id..."
     }
}

Then I will read this file again and make menus. To prevent duplicate entries I always have to delete contents of the "Skill_Data" before writing to it.

I made this, but I can't compile it:

stock ScanSkills()
    {
    //
    kv= CreateKeyValues("Skills");
    //
    BuildPath(Path_SM, kv_file, PLATFORM_MAX_PATH, "configs/plugin.heroessource.skills.txt");
    //Get KV's
    if(!FileToKeyValues(kv,kv_file))
        SetFailState("[Heroes: Source]Failed to load 'Skills'!");
    //Rewind to top
    KvRewind(kv);
    //
    if(!KvGotoFirstSubKey(kv))
        return -1;
    //
    new skillcount=0;
    new skillid;
    decl String:s_skillid[32];
    //
    do
        {
        //
        KvGetSectionName(kv, s_skillid, sizeof(s_skillid));
        skillid=StringToInt(s_skillid);
        //
        KvGetString(kv, "name", skillnames[skillid], sizeof(skillnames));
        //
        skillcount++;
        }
        while(KvGotoNextKey(kv))
    //
    CloseHandle(kv);
    //
    kv= CreateKeyValues("Skill_Data");
    //
    BuildPath(Path_SM, kv_file, PLATFORM_MAX_PATH, "data/plugin.heroessource.skilldata.txt");
    //Get KV's
    if(!FileToKeyValues(kv,kv_file))
        SetFailState("[Heroes: Source]Failed to load 'Skill_Data'!");
    //Rewind to top
    KvRewind(kv);
    //
    if(!KvGotoFirstSubKey(kv))
        return -2;
    //Delete all sections
    for(;;)
        {
        decl String:name[4];
        KvGetString(kv, name, sizeof(name));
        if(name[0]=='\0')
            {
            if(KvDeleteThis(kv)<1)
                {
                break;
                }
            }
            else if(!KvGotoNextKey(kv))
            {
            break;
            }
        }
    //Rewind to top
    KvRewind(kv);
    //
    for(new i=1; i<=skillcount; i++)
        {
        KvJumpToKey(kv, skillnames[i], true);
        KvSetNum(kv, "id", i);
        KvGoBack(kv);
        }
    //
    KeyValuesToFile(kv, kv_file);
    //
    CloseHandle(kv);
    return true;
    }

I got the "Full Deletion" and "Iterative Lookup" codes from "KeyValues (SourceMod Scripting)" article in the wiki.

Thank you for your posts.

You can't compile it, or it's not working? What are your compile errors?

[Shaman]

Now I don't remember what were the compile errors. I didn't got any replies so I had to change the code and I made this:

stock ScanSkills()
    {
    //
    kv= CreateKeyValues("Skills");
    //
    BuildPath(Path_SM, kv_file, PLATFORM_MAX_PATH, "configs/plugin.heroessource.skills.txt");
    //Get KV's
    if(!FileToKeyValues(kv,kv_file))
        SetFailState("[Heroes: Source]Failed to load 'Skills'!");
    //Rewind to top
    KvRewind(kv);
    //
    decl String:key[3];
    new skillcount=0;
    for(new i=1; i<MAXSKILLS; i++)
        {
        IntToString(i, key, sizeof(key));
        if(!KvJumpToKey(kv, key, false))
            break;
        
        KvGetString(kv, key, skillnames[i], sizeof(skillnames));
        skillcount++;
        }
    //
    CloseHandle(kv);
    //
    kv= CreateKeyValues("Skill_Data");
    //
    BuildPath(Path_SM, kv_file, PLATFORM_MAX_PATH, "data/plugin.heroessource.skilldata.txt");
    //
    if(!FileToKeyValues(kv,kv_file))
        SetFailState("[Heroes: Source]Failed to load 'Skill_Data'!");
    //Rewind to top
    KvRewind(kv);
    //
    for(new i=1; i<MAXSKILLS; i++)
        {
        IntToString(i, key, sizeof(key));
        if(!KvDeleteKey(kv, key))
            break;
        }
    //
    for(new i=1; i<=skillcount; i++)
        {
        IntToString(i, key, sizeof(key));
        if(!KvJumpToKey(kv, skillnames[i], true))
            break;
        KvSetNum(kv, "id", i);
        }
    //
    new bool:result=KeyValuesToFile(kv, kv_file);
    //
    CloseHandle(kv);
    //
    return result;
    }

This code doesn't give me any errors when compiling or in game, but it doesn't work. I just need to make this:
1-Get "id->name" from a file
2-Make them "name->id"
3-Sort names A to Z
4-Save the result to another file.
5-Read all names and make a menu.

Which part doesn't work? For starters I think this:

        KvGetString(kv, key, skillnames[i], sizeof(skillnames));
        skillcount++;

Must be:

        KvGetString(kv, "name", skillnames[i], sizeof(skillnames));
        skillcount++;
        KvGoBack(kv);

I did what you said, but still nothing happens. No errors, no output, nothing
