Michel-

Moved your post to scripting, to help with your question. I guess you're asking if there is a class to handle reading/writing to .ini files?

Hi Michel,

There is a file module that you can use to open and write text files such as an ini file.

To use it in a layout or plugin script, you could do something like this:

Code: [Select]

fe.load_module( "file");

local ini_file = ReadTextFile( "file_i_want.ini" );

while ( !ini_file.eos() ) // keep going through the file until the end
{
   local line = ini_file.read_line(); // gets the next line of the file
}


It can also write out a file using the WriteTextFile() class...
