Editing/Appending to files

I'm using the INI file object to store values in a text file. I can't seem to find any Actions associated with it so that I can edit/append the ini file. I don't want to use Write as it overwrites the previous stuff.

Also, how do you read these ini files?

Inis have groups and values.

if you open an exisiting ini file with the ini object and write a new value, it will be appended.

if you write an existing value, the previous will be overwritten.

you may NOT use the same value twice within a group, as it doesn't make any sense.

You may check before you write, and see if the value is there. This would in fact let you know if you were about to overwrite a value that was previously there.

If you plan to treat ini files as strings (which is absolutely unnecessary) you could try the binary object instead.

Thanks for the reply. I have a few more questions regarding INI objects:

1. Let's say I don't know the name of the group but I want to access the nth group in the ini file, how do I get the group number? Or is there some other way to refer to a group?

2. How do you sort an ini file according to the values of 1 of the items? (Assuming all groups have an item in common.)
