with the below code i am able to read the contents of the ini file after the = sign...now what i want is to read the contents of the ini file before the sign and use this content for my next step like opening a file

my test.ini file is like this:-

[Production]
C:\Programfiles\Mywork\=Hello
C:\Programfiles\Exwork\=Welcome

ok i will try to explain it more clearly

I want to create my project more generic so that anyone who wants to make changes then he has to do it only in .ini file not in the autohotkey script....
so what i am doing is if i make a ini file with two buttons as Paint and Notepad...if the user clicks paint it should open paint and also when he clicks Notepad it should open notepad....i know we can do it in a simple way as:-

ya thats right because with one button it runs successfully but two posting before you can see what i expect like if there are two buttons like paint and word and if the user press button 1 then it should execute the information mentioned in the ini file
for example:-

test.ini
[Production]
Paint=run paint.exe
Word=run word.exe

on gui it displays Paint and Word but how to append the action related to each button or in other case to display paint.exe or word.exe if i press paint and word respectively

well if you see the test runs successfully with one entry in the ini and one button display on the Gui and i can send the information related to that button which is mentioned in the inifile but when i want to add one more button on the gui and want to follow the same procedure then do i have to write the code twice or their is some way of settingup a variable which will montior which button and then append the action....i think this is the last step and then i will succeed
