How Can I Make VB Read The config.ini

I need to make vb read commands from a config.ini file as an if statement, this is the current if statement:


If Len(varkey) = 16 Then


now, this determines the length of a line in a text file, and does something as a result. what i need is for it for it to read from a config file as well. so pretty much If the key's length = 16 AND 1Load = True Then <--this kind of idea. so in the config, it would say:

[Main]
1Load=True
2Load=False

and if 2load was true, then 1load would be false, etc. this would just user set. i just need it to kinda have the idea as i mentioned before, If Len(varkey) = 16 And "the Stuff i need help with here :)" Then

anyway help would be awesome

the "sandbox" project at the link below my name has a comple section on how to read and write files; that should get you started.

phinds: That doesn't seem to cover anything about ini files :-\

ItAm: Use the following API's GetPrivateProfileString, WritePrivateProfileString

Just follow the links for info about them, and look through the examples they have there.

ty, i'll look through both of them, but would anyone be able to just write a quick declaration and an if function? i just need an outline to this idea, i can figure the rest.

QUOTEPOST]you're correct --- my bad. I see so many posts that imply the user doesn't even know how to open a file that I sometime forget that ".INI" files specifically have functions for their manipulations
