Storing of data... by Alxandr on 06-21-2007 at 07:54 PM
If i want to store some data for later, what do I do? For example if I wan't to store a List of users, how do I do that? So that when the user logs on again (on the same computer ofcause, js is client, not serverscript) the computer already has filled out the list for the user...

You can either store your data in an XML file, or in the registry. XML file is the "standard" for most apps I guess, but I suggest the registry because if a user updates the script, all previous settings won't be lost, where as with XML if the file is in the Script directory, they will be.
Here are some ways to access the registry.

But how do you do that in JS? (I preffer XML)...

You can use the Microsoft.XMLDOM ActiveX object to access XML.

quote:files in the script directory are only removed when the script is removed, so your settings xml will be safe

But doesn't Plus remove the script first if you install a newer version. In that case the stored XML files will be removed.
