  "Some people, when confronted with a problem, think "I know, I'll use
  regular expressions." Now they have two problems." :D

  To the OP: this looks like an .ini file you are trying to manipulate.
  Under Windows you have Win32-specific functions to make .ini file
  manipulation very easy. You will want to check out the
  WritePrivateProfileString and GetPrivateProfileString functions.

  If you're under Linux, then you can use a third-party library to
  manipulate the file (I know Qt supports it, but that might be
  overkill).
