IniWrite

Writes data to the WIN.INI file.

Syntax:

IniWrite (section, keyname, data)

Parameters:

(s) section major heading to write the data to.

(s) keyname name of the data item to write.

(s) data string to write to the WIN.INI file.

Returns:

(i) always 1.

 

This command allows a program to write data to the WIN.INI file. The "section" is added to the file if it doesn't already exist.

Note: to force the INI updates to disk, add an additional IniWrite statement as follows:

IniWrite("","","")

 

Note: INI files are limited to 64K in size, on Windows 95/98 and ME. No real limit on other windows platforms.

Windows Vista/2008 and newer: This function may require an Administrator level account because the WIN.INI is located within a protected directory: 'Windows'.

Example:


; Change the list of pgms to load upon Windows
; startup
loadprogs = IniRead("windows", "load", "")
newprogs = AskLine("Add Pgm To LOAD= Line", "Add:", loadprogs, 0)
IniWrite("windows", "load", newprogs)
