Can you place comments in an ini file without disturbing the data?? for example:

blah=1 ;comment here
item=2 ;comment here
blahblah=3 ;comment here

it depends on what you mean by "without disturbing the data".
The key value (along with the comment) will be assigned to outputvar.
Using your example, Outputvar will contain "blah=1 ;comment here"

Comments
Semicolons (;) indicate the start of a comment. Comments continue to the end of the line. Everything between the semicolon and the End of Line is ignored.


However my tests show that AHK just copies the whole line ignoring comments. You can easily parse the string retrieved and remove the comments yourself...

It seems that in AHK you can write comments with a semicolon before or after a Section or Key,
but not on the same line as a Key as it will be added to the value.

To work around this, add the following RegEx line after IniRead:
Code:
IniRead, OutputVar, Filename [, Section, Key, Default]
OutputVar  := RegExReplace( RegExReplace( OutputVar, "^.+\K.(?<=;).+" ), "\s+$" ) ; change OutputVar in orange to desired var name.

If you really need comments in the ini you could use my ini library (see signature) or one of the other ini libraries that support comments.
