I basically stick to the old Stringlist no matter what types or
strings or values I'm, using as that gives me the freedom to run everything
exactly as I like. But Delphi does have a component that provides a visual
representation of the name=Value pairs as well. I've never used it myself
but it may be what you're looking for. I believe it was added back around
version 6 or 7? I'm on my laptop right now and don't have a copy of Delphi
on it, and I can't recall it's name but it's on the palette.

Subject: A Delphi Component that enables namelist-directed I/O
Hi, All
After coming across very useful threads in this list on writing to and
reading from human-readable text files in structured ways, such as writing
the values of a list of variables of various types to a file containing a
string representing a given variable's name followed by a delimiter followed
by that variable's value along with the ability to extract the information
back from the corresponding file, I came to wondering whether there is a
Delphi component that does this. In the past when I have posted to this list
about this I got very useful pointers outside of Delphi, i.e., a wrapper of
a C routine for NAMELIST-like functionality, or the tried and true yet
insufficiently re-useable maxim "For best results, advice roll-your-own". I
am wondering about a plug-and-play standard Delphi solution to this problem
that I can re-use at the drop of a hat, everywhere.
Many thanks in advance,
Paule
