I've seen this posted a few times so here's the simple way i do it.
STRING* str_file_data = "";
var _fHandle_user_config_i = NULL;
function get_user_settings(STRING* local_filename){
_fHandle_user_config_i = file_open_read(local_filename);
if(_fHandle_user_config_i){ //read config file
int eof = 0;
while(eof != -1){
eof = file_str_read(_fHandle_user_config_i, str_file_data);
var_for_name(str_file_data);
}
}
file_close(_fHandle_user_config_i);
}then call from another function get_user_settings("config.ini");
and change as necessary, (e.g multiple user settings) then your config file should look something like this [input devices] 1 joystick 2 keyboard/mouse
_input_1_device = 2
[camera mode] 1 1st 2 3rd 3 orbit 4 world
_camera_mode = 2
[player settings]
_player_inverse_move_x = 1
_player_inverse_move_y = 1
_player_inverse_turn_x = 1
_player_inverse_turn_y = 1
_player_movespeed = 1.8
_player_turnspeed = 1.5 Hope this helps

you can use the win32 api functions
GetPrivateProfileInt
GetPrivateProfileSection
GetPrivateProfileString
WritePrivateProfileString
for this purpose. Don't know if you'll read this Joey but if you do could you please post an example on how to use the above API's. Thanks in advance.

Here is a small example on how to use GetPrivateProfileString and GetPrivateProfileInt. Test.c #include <acknex.h>
#include <windows.h>
STRING* path_to_ini = "#256";
char result_chr[32];
int version_;
void main()
{
STRING* temp_str = "#32";
version_ = 0;
str_cpy(path_to_ini,work_dir);
str_cat(path_to_ini,"\\test.ini");
GetPrivateProfileString("header","game_name","can't read string",result_chr,32,_chr(path_to_ini));
version_ = GetPrivateProfileInt("header","game_version",0,_chr(path_to_ini));
str_cpy(temp_str,result_chr);
str_cat(temp_str," v");
str_cat(temp_str,str_for_num(NULL,version_));
video_window(NULL,NULL,48,temp_str);
}and test.ini [header]
game_name=Test
game_version=1 And here is the MSDN reference of these functions: GetPrivateProfileString GetPrivateProfileInt I hope this help you

Ive tryed a lot with the Lite-C functions, but it wont work to write behinde i.e. the game_name = I could read any value i want, but i couldnt write behind the value. Does any1 know how to do it? The GS Manual says for file_open_write: Opens the file with the name string to write text, with the previous content will be overwritten. If the file is in savedir does not yet exist, it will be recreated. Can anyone help on this? Greetings Schmerzmittel

If you want to stick to lite-c functions being able to write into the center of an existing file, Check THIS thread out. Any questions, ask over there...
