some other lines 

task = task6435

and so on. 

the number after string task are not in ascendin or descending order. Now in another file "A" that is located in other folder i have the name is each of those taskxxxx, it looks like this

[task0013]

name=whatever

[task6452]

name=...

.................

Use IniRead() in file management help section to manage your INI Files.

Use StringReplace() function to made string replacements.

start it by your self it is not too difficult and don't be too lazy.

I hope we will see you with a piece of code soon.

do i have to make a loop within a loop to search in all files and then search all the strings in each file?

[Muzaiyan]

you will need many loops according to your requirement

1 to find for files

1 to read section names

1 to compare/replace values e.t.c

Your practice is very important than our help

i did it by editing the file a bit , and then with notepad++ and a small autoclicker i added the lines.
