[Solved] JumpToKey with path in KeyValues

EmeraldGhost · **Author**

Hi alliedmodders, im writing an auto config generator thesedays. but i ran into a problem.
If I use kv.JumpToKey with a path (e.g. props/de_inferno/goldfish), it comes out with these:

Quote:

"props"
{
"de_inferno"
{
"goldfish"
{
"name" "props/de_inferno/goldfish"
"weight" "10"
"hp" "100"
"speed" "1.000000"
"gravity" "1.000000"
}
}
}

but the result I expected is sth like this:

Quote:

"props/de_inferno/goldfish"
{
"name" "props/de_inferno/goldfish"
"weight" "10"
"hp" "100"
"speed" "1.000000"
"gravity" "1.000000"
}

Is there an easy solotion to fix this?

This should do the trick:

PHP Code:


			
KeyValues kv = new KeyValues("Something");

    

char filepath[PLATFORM_MAX_PATH]; 

BuildPath(Path_SM, filepath, sizeof(filepath), "configs/something.cfg");

    

kv.ImportFromFile(filepath);

    

kv.JumpToKey("something", true);

kv.SetSectionName("props/de_inferno/goldfish");

    

kv.SetString("name", "props/de_inferno/goldfish");

kv.SetString("weight", "10");

kv.SetString("hp", "100");

kv.SetString("speed",    "1.000000");

kv.SetString("gravity", "1.000000");

    

kv.Rewind();

kv.ExportToFile(filepath);

    

delete kv;

Output file:

Code:

"Something"
{
	"props/de_inferno/goldfish"
	{
		"name"		"props/de_inferno/goldfish"
		"weight"	"10"
		"hp"		"100"
		"speed"		"1.000000"
		"gravity"	"1.000000"
	}
}

	}
}

It works! Thank you!
