ini-file

[sloopa]

i am just to lazy... so don't stress your mind!
(i will find a solution myself)

but if a solution exists:

has somebody a solution for a configuration-file like an ini-file?

It should be pretty easy.

Hi,

I adressed a similar issue in the old forum were when my app started it searched for a language config file and load it's contents...If usefull i'll re-write my code sample and post it...

Hi CableGuy

you're welcome (to send the code )

[Cableguy]

Here's my sample code for the above issue, hope it helps..

[taximania]

An example of file read and write is in the source code for my GpsCompass App.

See thread http://www.basic4ppc.com/forum/share-your-creations/66-gpscompas-app.html

Just change the file extension to .ini not .txt

This advice has also helped me, I'm wanting to create a high scores table for my Splat Master game which I showed in the old Forum. With a bit of luck I'll have this done in next to no time now and then I'll post my code again for you all to enjoy. It's bigger and better now

Thanks,
RandomCoder
