Hey Ansuya,
I have not tried this out but am thinking this is what you are looking to
do.
<property id="SEARCH_INI">
<IniFileSearch id="MY_SEARCH_INI"
LongName="[MyDir]myfile.ini" Section="MySection" Key="MyKey" Type="raw"/>
</property>
Make sure that you test the property value after it has been set by the
action sequence.
Hope this helps; let me know!
