The standard way to do this type of thing now is to use the GetSetting and SaveSetting functions to read and write to the registry instead of an ini file

EVB 3.0 has a file control........You can use this control to open a text file and read its parameters (Line by Line) and then you can also write back to the file using the same control (I have used File Control for only reading but writing will not be that much difficult).......<br />

Thanks for that, but I need someone to write some code so that I can pick out certain lines from the INI file.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I am trying to make my appliction use a &quot;setup.ini&quot; file so it can load users preferences etc...<br />
<br />
PLEASE NOTE I AM USING eVB 3.0.<br />
<br />
1) How do I create the file (with Default options) if it does not already exist or has been deleted ?<br />
2) How do I read certain values from the file ?<br />
3) How do I change/write certain values to the file ?<br />
<br />
The format of the Setup file is just like a standard INI file:<br />
<br />
[OPTIONS]<br />
option1=test1<br />
option2=test2<br />
option3=test3<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance...<br />

How to Read/Write to a text file in eVB 3.0

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
