write user input to file.
Hi.
I have written this install script. i want to store the information that is entered by the user in a .cfm file, but i don't know how to do this.
at the moment the data is stored in an .ini file and this works fine.

maybe someone of you can help me.

  !include "MUI.nsh"

;General

;The name of the installer
Name "..."
;The file to write
OutFile "ac_install.exe"
;Default installation folder
InstallDir "$PROGRAMFILES\ac"
!define VERSION '0.2.3.8'

;--------------------------------
;Interface Settings

  !define MUI_HEADERIMAGE
  !define MUI_HEADERIMAGE_BITMAP "${NSISDIR}\Contrib\Graphics\Header\head.bmp" ; optional

We can't very well tell you without knowing what a .CFM file looks like.

However, if you are referring to a MySQL configuration file (which is .CNF, not .CFM), youcan use the exact same method, simply by replacing the my.ini filename with my.cnf. The files are identical in structure.

.cfm is from macromedia coldfusion.
file looks for example like:

..
<cfscript>

.
.
.....content

</cfscript>
..


the installer should only set a variable (like: username="test" or password="123") in the .cfm file like it can do it in an ini file.

with the write ini function i can only write a file that looks like this.
[cfscript]

.
.
.....content

[/cfscript]

Well, an ugly workaround could be to use of the many find and replace in files functions to replace the <cfscript> with [cfscript], do an ini write, then replace with <cfscript>.
