anybody knoes hot to use the function Ini_WriteGeneric?

[eromero]

i need to write to a ini file but without deleting the old content of the file, this is why i can't use the simple function writetofile..instead i need to use Ini_WriteGeneric to write to a generic output but i can't figure out how it works...does anybody has an idea or example? .Regards.

If you don't want to delete the previous content of the file, it's enough that you call Ini_ReadFromFile at the beginning of your function, then use Ini_Put functions to fill or replace the desired items and last use Ini_WriteToFile to save to disk.

Hi Roberto,

And what if I do want to replace the content instead of writing the new info at the end of the file?

I have tried not using Ini_ReadFromFile but it is mandatory before reading any info inside the ini file...

Thanks

The procedure remains the same: Ini_ReadFromFile, Ini_PutXX, Ini_WriteToFile.

If the values you manipulate with Ini_Put lines already exist in the file, old content is overwritten with the new one. Non existent values are added in memory. Ini_Write saves the entire memory content to file, keeping new values added inside the section you had added them to: the file on disk is entirely rewritten to reflect the content of the IniText object.
