Working with INI

[Xlithan]

I've been working on something lately, and I need to do something that I haven't done with an ini file before. I haven't yet messed around with this bit as I'm in the process of programming the other parts.
I wouldn't say it's a complex idea, which is why I've posted this in the beginner section. Thinking about it in my mind though hasn't seem to spark any good methods of achieving it, so I wanted to get some possible solutions from other people before I attempted to start working on this part of the system.

The ini file is made up of 4 different headers, each containing 10-100 values, which will contain players names. I've put 5 on here as an example:

Code:

[HEADER1]
Name1=
Name2=
Name3=
Name4=
Name5=
[HEADER2]
Name1=
Name2=
Name3=
Name4=
Name5=
[HEADER3]
Name1=
Name2=
Name3=
Name4=
Name5=
[HEADER4]
Name1=
Name2=
Name3=
Name4=
Name5=

Now, the first bit of this part of the system involves adding names and removing names. Finding a blank space and adding the name is fairly easy. Now I need to add some code that removes a specific name from one of the headers.

The next bit of this involves working with both of those methods, removing a specific name and adding it into a specific header.

I could probably use this system for my WizList security feature too, making it more easy to add and remove GMs from the WizList.

Thanks.

That's white easy, use the INI functions that you already have at your game and loop thru all the posible names searching for a name. It's no problem at all, the ini functions already make all the hard work for you. Just loop it ^^

problem solved I think. Some more testing needed but I think I've got it.
