Replace a placeholder in a file

congahonga · 17th March 2009, 08:29

Hi there,

I have three files, that must be filled with values that i get during installation process, because the user must input these values in textfields.

How can I replace a placeholder (e.g $XXXX) with a NSIS variable in(!) a config-file ?

-----------------------------
# config File

blabla=1230

aValue=$XXXX (this must be repaced)

link=http://$XXXX/test/test.dll
-------------------------------

annotation: ConfigWrite ist no solution, because I must mainly replaice HTTP-Links, so i can't use Value and Entry..

${ConfigWrite} see the documentation.

No, sorry, ConfigWrite is NOT a solution, because it can only be helpful with Value / Entry Pairs, not with http-Links or other free text that should be sustituted

The solution is the library

TextReplace.nsh (search in Forum)
