Unable to Find String in a file and populate it using Inno Setup?


I have demo.properties file from this I'm able to load file and iterate to get all values present in it.

hibernate.connection.username=jack
hibernate.connection.password=queen
hibernate.connection.url=jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://localhost/cabinet

But when I get Line 1 (able to get line by line but unable to get specific string) and i want to populate jack and store into username String similarly queen into password String and localhost into database String.This is my code/logic to get values.

procedure InitializeWizard;
var  

  xmlInhalt: TArrayOfString;  
  k : Integer;
  CurrentLine : String;
  Uname : String;  
   Password : String;
   HostName : String;
   STR : String;                        

begin
          LoadStringsFromFile('C:\demo.properties', xmlInhalt);
          for k:=0 to GetArrayLength(xmlInhalt)<>-1 do
          begin
            CurrentLine := xmlInhalt[k];
            MsgBox(CurrentLine, mbError, MB_OK);
            if (Pos('hibernate.connection.username=', CurrentLine) <>-1 ) then
                begin
                              MsgBox(CurrentLine, mbError, MB_OK);
                    Uname := Pos('://', CurrentLine);
                    STR :=IntToStr(Uname);    
                    STR :=IntToStr(Length('://')); 
                    Password := Pos(':1', CurrentLine);
                    HostName :=Password -Uname;                  

              end;    
         end; 
end;

please Help me to get my requirement.Your help will be appreciated.


Solution

  • If the TStrings class had published NameValueSeparator and Values properties, I would suggest using it. But it hasn't, so here's a code to workaround (it uses TArrayOfString, but it would be easy to modify it for the TStrings class):

    [Setup]
    AppName=My Program
    AppVersion=1.5
    DefaultDirName={pf}\My Program
    
    [Code]
    function TryGetValue(const Strings: TArrayOfString; const Name: string;
      out Value: string): Boolean;
    var
      S: string;
      P: Integer;
      I: Integer;
    begin
      Result := False;
      { loop through the array }
      for I := 0 to GetArrayLength(Strings) - 1 do
      begin
        { store the currently iterated string into a local variable }
        S := Strings[I];
        { try to get position of the name value separator ('='in this case) }
        P := Pos('=', S);
        { if the separator was found on this line, and a text on the left of }
        { it matches (case insensitively) the input Name parameter value, we }
        { found what we were looking for, so return True and the rest of the }
        { text after the found separator }
        if (P <> 0) and (CompareText(Copy(S, 1, P - 1), Name) = 0) then
        begin
          Value := Copy(S, P + 1, MaxInt);
          Result := True;
          Exit;
        end;
      end;
    end;
    
    { do note, that this function may not conform the RFC 3986 specification; }
    { preferred way should be e.g. InternetCrackUrl, but with this particular }
    { scheme (jdbc:jtds:sqlserver) it didn't crack the URL properly }
    function GetHostName(const URL: string): string;
    var
      P: Integer;
    begin
      Result := '';
      P := Pos('://', URL);
      if P <> 0 then
      begin
        Result := Copy(URL, P + 3, MaxInt);
        P := Pos('/', Result);
        if P = 0 then
          P := MaxInt;
        Result := Copy(Result, 1, P - 1);
      end;
    end;
    
    procedure InitializeWizard;
    var  
      URL: string;
      HostName: string;
      UserName: string;
      Password: string;
      StrArray: TArrayOfString;
    begin
      if LoadStringsFromFile('C:\File.txt', StrArray) then
      begin
        TryGetValue(StrArray, 'hibernate.connection.url', URL);
        HostName := GetHostName(URL);
        TryGetValue(StrArray, 'hibernate.connection.username', UserName);
        TryGetValue(StrArray, 'hibernate.connection.password', Password);
        MsgBox(Format(
          'HostName: %s' + #13#10 + 'UserName: %s' + #13#10 + 'Password: %s', [
          HostName, UserName, Password]
        ), mbInformation, MB_OK);
      end; 
    end;
