redwards Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Looking for the best method to save / restore information. I'm a VB programmer from way back and I always used an .INI file. Then along came XP and the registry. I have always like the .INI file because it way easily viewalble and editable with notepad. So I would like to stick with a text file approach. Any change someone has a .INI macro they would be willing to share? Thanks for any help you may offer this newbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 Any change someone has a .INI macro they would be willing to share?I'm guessing you meant to write "chance" instead of "Change". Is so there is no need for a special macro, MEP has commands for manipulating INIs. Check out Variable Modify String Save to INI and also in Variable Set String there is another to read. Generally I opt top use the registry. Back in the day I hated INI files as they were a constant problem. In fact the registry was designed to eliminate all those problems and did handsomely. And it doesn't require a disk write! However I do use INI files to save settings on distributed macros as this is the only way to keep settings in a common location for network users.
