vrf Handling *.ini files in Vee

Question asked by VRFuser on Jun 11, 2001

All,
I'm interested in determining programmatically whether or not a
variable name already exists (undeclared globals, primarily), but I don't
want an error to appear if the variable name does not exist. I would like
to use this as a decision tool to determine what to do next, either use the
variable already there, or create a new one. Right now if I try to access a
variable that's not there, an error appears. Does anyone know a way around
this?

Thanks,
Marc

I need to save more than "a few" parameters between sessions of my
*.vee program. I do not want to play with Registry so the most handy
way seems to be to use *.ini file and separate keys in it. I am sure
that there must be some functions in Win dlls to manipulate
records in *.ini files - using native Windows functions would be more
convenient. Is there anyone in VEE WORLD who can help ?

Hi!

Take a look at the GetPrivateProfileString/int/section and WritePrivateProfileString/int/section calls, I am sure they will do it for You..

Defined in my c-header file as:
UINT STDCALL GetPrivateProfileIntW(LPCWSTR,LPCWSTR,INT,LPCWSTR);
BOOL WINAPI GetPrivateProfileStructA(LPCSTR,LPCSTR,LPVOID,UINT,LPCSTR);
BOOL WINAPI GetPrivateProfileStructW(LPCWSTR,LPCWSTR,LPVOID,UINT,LPCWSTR);
DWORD STDCALL GetPrivateProfileStringW (LPCWSTR,LPCWSTR,LPCWSTR,LPWSTR,DWORD,LPCWSTR);
BOOL STDCALL WritePrivateProfileStringW(LPCWSTR,LPCWSTR,LPCWSTR,LPCWSTR);
BOOL WINAPI WritePrivateProfileStructA(LPCSTR,LPCSTR,LPVOID,UINT,LPCSTR);
BOOL WINAPI WritePrivateProfileStructW(LPCWSTR,LPCWSTR,LPVOID,UINT,LPCWSTR);
DWORD STDCALL GetPrivateProfileSectionW(LPCWSTR,LPWSTR,DWORD,LPCWSTR);
DWORD WINAPI GetPrivateProfileSectionNamesA(LPSTR,DWORD,LPCSTR);
DWORD WINAPI GetPrivateProfileSectionNamesW(LPWSTR,DWORD,LPCWSTR);
BOOL STDCALL WritePrivateProfileSectionW(LPCWSTR,LPCWSTR,LPCWSTR);

Do you have the win-api documentation?? If not try: ftp://ftp.cs.virginia.edu/pub/lcc-win32/win32hlp.exe (they have an excellent c-compiler too)
