View source for $readini

Returns a single line of text from an ini file
 $readini(filename, [np], section, item)

If the n switch is specified then the line read in will not be evaluated and will be treated as plain text.

If the p switch is specified, command | separators are treated as such instead of as plain text.

== Example ==
 [[echo]] -a My command prefix is: $readini(mirc.ini,text,commandchar)
This example echo's your command prefix to your active window (usually ''/'').

The following example will loop through all item in mirc.ini in the section called ''mirc''.
 [[var]] %i = 1
 ; begin a while-loop through all items in section ''mirc''. $ini(mirc.ini,mirc,0) returns 
 ; total number of items in this section.
 [[while]] (%i <= [[$ini]](mirc.ini,mirc,0)) {
  ; echo item's name and value
  [[echo]] -a $ini(mirc.ini,mirc,%i) => $readini(mirc.ini,mirc,$ini(mirc.ini,mirc,%i))
  ; increase looping-variable by one
  [[inc]] %i
 }
