It can be done with FileIO, but it's more work than necessary when you have Buddy API at your disposal. Download it from: http://www.mods.com.au and then use baReadIni: Usage: Result = baReadIni( Section, Keyname, Default, IniFile ) Arguments: String, string, string, string. Section is the section name of the ini file. Keyname is the name of the key Default is the string that is returned if the file, section or key doesn't exist. IniFile is the name if the ini file to use. Again, the Xtra is free for up to 2 functions per session. HTH, -Sean.
