I can't use the Get*Profile functions because I'm using an older version of the windows CE platform SDK which doesn't have those. It doesn't have to be too general. [section] name = some string I just need to open the file, check for the existence of "section", and the the value associated with "name". Standard C++ preferred. ...
Is there any class in .Net framework that can read/write standard ini files: [Section] <keyname>=<value> ... Delphi have TIniFile component and I am looking if there is anything similar for C#. ...
OK, true confession first: Maybe it's just me, but sometimes "best practices for program settings" on Windows machines feels like it's changed more than Microsoft's data access strategies. I'm still running XP, and somewhere along the way just kind "glazed over" about where MS wanted me to store all my app's data, etc. I controlled all...
In C, how to configure the initial settings for some program, using key-value pairs, with any or all of: a plain text configuration file, environment variables, and options on the command line. Also, how to decide which method's values overide those from either of the other two. Then if values have been changed, to optionally update the ...

I am looking for an acceptable starting point for placing applications settings in a Windows machine. I have more than one application. for personal reasons, I wouldn't like to use the registry: I prefer plain text initialization files (.ini). I also don't feel like holding the files in the same directory as the executables, the ideal...
Hi, I have a problem reading IniFiles with different encodings. If I read a Unicode file, GetPrivateProfileSectionNamesA seems to stumble over the fist line. ASCII or ANSI works fine. I wrote a little program to illustrate my problem. First the output, then the program. I do not realy care about UTF7 and UTF32, but what I don't get is th...
Update: I've added the following code: function TSettingsForm.AppDataPath: string; //CSIDL_APPDATA Individual user Data //CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA Common to Computer Data // works so long as people have at least IE 4.

Hi All, I have a config file FOO in /etc/sysconfig/. This Linux file is very similar to INI-File, but without a section declaration. In order to retrieve a value from this file, I used to write a shell script like: source /etc/sysconfig/FOO echo $MY_VALUE Now I want to do the same thing in python. I tried to use ConfigParser, but Co...

Normally, I code as follows for getting a particular item in a variable as follows try: config = ConfigParser.ConfigParser() config.read(self.iniPathName) except ConfigParser.MissingSectionHeaderError, e: raise WrongIniFormatError(`e`) try: self.makeDB = config.get("DB","makeDB") except ConfigParser.NoOptionError: s...
Anyone know how'd I'd go about editing ini file values preferably using ConfigParser? (Or even a place to start from would be great!) I've got lots of comments throughout my config file so I'd like to keep them by just editing the values, not taking the values and playing around with multiple files. Structure of my config file: [name1]...

Hi - In GetPrivateProfileString, lpReturnedString returns the string value present in the key of a particular section of an ini file. My question is that how will i know exactly, how much memory has to be allocated, rather than just allocation a large chunk prior to calling this function. DWORD WINAPI GetPrivateProfileString( __in ...
There are already questions regarding unicode and ini files, but many of them are rather domain-specific. So I am not sure if the answer can be applied to the general case. Motivation: I want to use ini files for storing simple data like some numbers and some strings. The strings are provided by users (input via GUI). The software could...
