How to remove from ini-file using API

[Nifrabar]

Hi!
faq184-2916 learns how to read and write using
API-calls
Basicly this is what is in the ini file:
[MySection]
Mykey=Key1Value
[MySection2]
Mykey2=Key2Value

For programmaticly doing maintanance I need to remove a full section from the file.
Is there a API call for that or do I have to manipulate the ini-file as text-file.

Bart,

As far as I know, you can only read or write specific named entries. To do anything else, you have to work directly with the file.

Mike,
Thanks.
I've been afraid it works out that way.
So I have to write some code to remove all lines from the file starting with [MySection] until a '[' has found or eof() =.t.

Bart,

Sounds easy. Just use STREXTRACT().
