Paul, Two other ideas for you (if you're parsing your ini files yourself vs. using Win32 API to access your ini files) - add support to your parser for #define and #include directives. The #include directive works great if you have a set of apps that share common INI file settings. The #define directive is a great tool for quickly and accurately changing multiple related settings at once vs. via using search and replace.
1. #define <constant> <value> 2. #include <file> Malcolm _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
