Remove quotes in the Configuration "Write Key.vi"

Status: New

When writing a string key to a configuration file with the Config file "Write Key.vi" on the File I/O palette, the value will always have quotes around it because of the "Add Quotes.vi" in that particular method as you can see in this image.

Not all external programs handle ini files with quotes around strings as well, and this question was already asked and answered in 2010, but for some reason NI never added this VI or the option to remove the quotes to the actual palette.

 

I would like to have the option to have my string keys with and without quotes.

I agree.  I was attempting to use the INI functions to write an HHP file, which is the project file for CHM documentation, and my code failed because LV added quotes when the HHP requires no quotes.

Simple modification (or additional vi) will make it more flexible.
(you can not save your own version and modify as it is part of a NI library).

Interesting username you've got there...

That name was first the name of an Egyptian goddess  (as in Isis and Osiris) before it meant something else in our sad modern era...
