Working with strings?

[kurgan383]

Hi all... I want to read an .ini file and replace some data in it. I can read the file with streamreader, but how do I replace a line of data?

Hi,

I tend to do something like this...

dim strFilename as string
dim strRunning as string
dim strTemp as string

strFilename="c:\setup.ini" 'or whatever the ini file is

FileOpen(1, strFilename, OpenMode.Input)

while not eof(1)
input(1, strTemp)
if strTemp="Startup=True" then 'or whatever you want to change
strRunning=strRunning + "Startup=False" + vbnewline
Else
strRunning=strRunning + strTemp + vbnewline
End if
wend

fileclose(1)
fileopen(1, strFilename, OpenMode.Output)
print(1, strRunning)
fileclose(1)

If you want to check just for the first part of the 'variable' you can use:

if left(strTemp, 7)="StartUp"

As the test instead.

Hope that helps you!!!

Bob.
