ini files adding values to keys

[mkReddy]

Hi Everyone,

I am thinking of modifying the standard config file vi's and would like some feedback on the idea before I start.  Currently I tend to use a FGV to store config options in my vi's.  This way I can open the file, read the keys and store them in a cluster in the FGV and then read and write the keys from anywhere in my application. 

I would like to modify the key values programmatically like

[Device]

Section_Name = " L1 LWT Wert"

[L1]

Eng_Typ = 1

Value = 200

Now I would like to add " LTACC" to  Section_Name

Thank you in advance

Mahesh

Take a look at the OpenG and MGI INI functions - I use the Open G Variant Configuration File functions extensively and they're really good for saving/loading configuration clusters to/from INI files. At the very least, it's worth having a look at them before you delve in and start writing your own!

Seems like you are looking for the "Configuration File" palette.

The snippet below would create a new *.ini file that read like this:

[Device]
Section_Name = "LV LWT Wert"

What exactly do you mean by "add it"?  Are you just changing the value?  Are you trying to concatinate the strings?  Are you trying to make a new key?

I am trying to add an element LPTCC to the key as shown below

Section_Devices = "LT1 Wert LPTCC "

LPTCC is a section which has differnt keys to regarding the device to store it to the FGV.
