How to leave a blank line in INI file

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

[files]

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