4 sections, only one to choose!
Hi, i'm using the NSIS CVS and the default interface, my installer has 2 subsections within 2 sections each one, so i have 4 sections. :) I must make them to be exclusive so the user can only choose one of them. I had a look at the manual but didn't find anything that IMO can help me. Do any of you got any suggestion?!

See Examples\one-section.nsi for an example that does exactly that.

Okk, thanks kichik. It worked fine. Now i have another doubt but don't wanna post another topic. ;)

I need to write some things to a text file, but i want them to be in diferent lines. I tried something like this:

section
fileopen $0 path\file.txt w
filewrite $0 "1 $\n 2 $\n 3"
fileclose $0
sectionend

It didn't work, thanks for your help.

Use $\r$\n for a Windows newline.

Okk, thank you Joost. Here it goes another dumb doubt by me. :/

I have a text file like this, for instance:

word
word
word

I need tried to put a string on it but i got
something like this:

stringword
word
word

I would like to know a way to put the string in the last line or like this:

string
word
word
word

Or some other weird thing. I've tried:

...
FileWrite $0 "$\r$\nSTRING"
...

And:

...
FileWrite $0 "STRING$\r$\n"
...

None of them worked. See you!

If you want to put it on top of the other strings, read the content and then write it back including the new string.

Hi Joost! I tried it and it worked fine but i could only make it work with text files with only one line. I'll post below what i tried.

Name TEST
SetOverwrite on
OutFile "C:\Windows\Desktop\test.exe"
Section
FileOpen $0 C:\Windows\Desktop\test.txt R
FileRead $0 $1
FileClose $0
FileOpen $0 C:\Windows\Desktop\test.txt W
FileWrite $0 "$1$\r$\nOK"
FileClose $0
SectionEnd

And i wrote this on test.txt:

Testing...
Testing...
Testing...

When i run the test.exe file, i get this in test.txt:

Testing...

OK

What should i do to make it work?

FileRead reads line by line. You have to use a loop in order to read more than one line. See this example:
