What would I have to do to read/write from an ini file where the information is not listed under a [section] heading? It still meets the KEY=Var format.

EDIT:
If it's not possible with IniRead/IniWrite, I'm sure I can do it with a file read loop. Just curious if it is.

IniRead can only read from correctly formatted, standard INI files. In truth, if it doesn't have any sections, it's not a true INI file.

To answer your question more directly: it requires the third parameter (section) to be non-blank.

thanks jonny. I'd already gotten the erro message. It's a weird ini file. It has what i'd call a pre-amble section that has stored values in it, before the start of the normal-correctly formatted-sections. It's for M$ Visual Source Safe, so it's non-standardness is not too surprising. Why do they make Automation, Hotkeys, and Scripting so hard?

You might try adding your own section header to it. It's very possible that although the program does not add one it will not complain if you do.
