VB6 - Referencing and Using a Script File

[q582gmzhi]

Hi,

I have seen VB app's that use a script or text file such as "variables.ini" to hold variables info.

ie:
Path="c:\test"
IP="192.123.34.134"

Does anyone have any simple examples of how VB refers to and uses this type of script file.

I will be writing the app in VB6. Thanks in advance.

You might want to search through the following site for examples...

As a side note, initialization files (which typically hold user and computer specific info that an application might need when starting up...YourAppName.ini) have been supplanted by XML config files as the popular choice... You can also use the registry to hold this type of info though that too has gone out of fashion...

Tim
