Re: [DUG] Ini files

Yes this agrees wity my experience with ini files.  That is they load 
the settings when you call the ReadString or whatever procedure if the 
file is modified.  I wrote a small app to test this and it somewhat 
confrirms it.  Having a quick look at the inifiles VCL source code has 
got me confused however ;-)

The TIniFile class is only a wrapper around the Windows INI file functions.
Windows INI file functions will buffer the file and know when the file has
been updated.
TMemIniFile loads the entire file into a hash table and allows you to
manipulate the contents in memory.

HI All.
This is one of those...."I think I should know the answer to this one"
questions.
With INI files, when you call   myINIFile:=TIniFiles.create(myFile);
does it load the inifile into memory? so when you call say
myIniFile.ReadString(b,b,a); does it read off the disk or from memory?
if anyone know can they lt me know?

Cheers,

Jeremy Coulter
