View source for Writeini

Writes to files in the standard INI file format.
 /writeini -n <inifile> <section> <item> <value>

If the -n switch is specified, mIRC will attempt to write to the .ini file even if it is larger than 64k.

If you write to an ini file that doesnt exist, it will create this file. 

Be aware of choosing your section names, as you cannot use every character (e.g. [ or ]).
That means that you cannot use channelnames as sectionnames.

'''Note''' that you should '''not''' use this command to modify any of the ini files currently being used by mIRC.

== Example ==
 /writeini user.ini address Dana dana@staff.quakenet.org
This would write Dana=dana@staff.quakenet.org in the section called "address" in user.ini

The next, more complex example writes all people currently being in #help.script in user.ini in the section ''address'' with their current address:
 [[var]] %i = 1
 ; begin a while loop through all users in #help.script
 [[while]] (%i <= [[$nick]](#help.script,0)) {
  ; actually write it to the file
  writeini user.ini address $nick(#help.script,%i) $address($nick(#help.script,%i),5)
  ; increase the looping-variable
  [[inc]] %i
 }
Be sure, that all these addresses are in your [[IAL]]. If not, you need to execute [[Who|/who #help.script]] first.

* [[Remini|/remini]] to remove an entire section or a single item.
* [[$readini]] and [[$ini]] to read from an ini file.
