Read array from .ini file

[wiebe@CARYA]

The file is no ini file (although "ini file" is not a standard), so no ini file\config file reader will be able to deal with it.

I'd use Spreadsheet String To Array, with a 1D array of strings as input. Then, in a for loop, iterate over all the lines. Or maybe a 2D array as input, and "=" as separator. Then for each line check if it begins with menu or submenu, and store it in your own structure (in a class) or in a "real" ini file.

This basically gets you a converter, that's executed when the file is loaded.

Better option:  Just use the Read From Text File.  Right-click on it and there is an option to "Read Lines".  Now set the number to read to -1 to read the entire file.  The output will be an array of strings.

That is a fun feature of Read From Text File that's easy to overlook. You'll lose the option to use "=" as a delimiter for a 2D array output though. Guess you could use Read From Spreadsheet File, but the build in error dialogs are a big no-no for me.
