How to leave a blank line in INI file

[Jeff Barnes]

Hi Everybody,

When creating an INI file, how can I leave a blank line before the next section?

This is what I get now:

[REPORTS]
Doc_Name_Pos=0
Abg_Chart=0
[BACKUP]
Backup_Days=30
Backup_Date=29/07/2008

I would like to have:

[REPORTS]
Doc_Name_Pos=0
Abg_Chart=0

[BACKUP]
Backup_Days=30
Backup_Date=29/07/2008


It just makes it a bit easier to find things

Hi Jeff.

I think this is not possible with the class or function. You must be change the file manually for this!

The file WIN.INI and the must of them don't have a blank line between sections

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

But, exists too the class TReg32(), I think it's very better than using ini files.

Hello,
why not to create empty Entry-sections
with different point-positions ( no to be used )

sample :

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN


[REPORTS]
Doc_Name_Pos=0
Abg_Chart=0
[ .                  ]
[BACKUP]
Backup_Days=30
Backup_Date=29/07/2008
[  .                 ]



A point is not much visible.

Best Regards
Uwe

Hi Jeff:

Why don't create the ini file for the first time with No Entry Sections:

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

cIni := "[REPORTS]" + CRLF + CRLF + "[BACKUP]" + CRLF + CRLF + "[MORE]"
MemoWrit( "your.ini", cIni )
