Read and Write data to INI file format?

I have an application that requires reading and writing to existing "INI" file types.

[GLOBAL_PARAMETERS]

Name=Gary

Address=1234 Elm St.

City=Los Angeles

State=Ca.

Zip=90210

[GAME_1_SCORE]

Points=12112

Levels=3

Bonus=5

I am seriously confused as to how this is done.

Reading is fairly easy, you can read line by line, and then analyze each line.

Here is a demo:

dropbox.com/s/dxt1v6sv6yo7jv3/ReadIniFile.c3p

Writing to ini file is only possible with NWJS export.

Thank you so much...

That works GREAT !!!

So, to write an INI, I need to use NWJS, but will that work to the local PC?

GREAT !!! Thank you very much...

I'm not that familiar with how to sort and parse within the Construct environment.

I see that you used "Compare Two Values"..

left(line, 1)

Equal to =

"[" This identifies the "Group" section? Then, you use an "else" statement assuming any other lines are "Parameters"? Since these INI files will always be structured in the exact same order, I should be able to sort by line number, (Example: the first (9) lines are always "Global Settings" and the TOP line will always be the group name "[GLOBAL_PARAMETERS]".

The 2nd line will always be the "Name" variable, and so on.

All I need from each line is the VALUE "after" the "=" ?

While the loop reads a single line in, I just retrieve the VALUE "after" the "=".

Do, you know of a technique to READ the VALUE "after" the "=" ???

Any idea how to separate every two digits of a string?

If I have a string "112233445566", how do I read every (2) digits to

separate the values?

These are bytes: I need to pull this string apart (2) characters at a time.

11

22

33

44

55

66

Do, you know of a technique to READ the VALUE "after" the "=" ???

Yes, use tokenat(), it's in my demo.

Any idea how to separate every two digits of a string?

Use mid() expression. For example mid("112233445566", 6, 2) will return "44"

Literally, everything you helped me with has WORKED PERF !!!

Thank you very much...
