Description (last modified by Valik)
From forum thread here.
Summary: Rewrite all the INI functionality from scratch to by-pass all Windows limitations.
Ideas to consider. Consolidated list so I don't forget these things. No promises any of this will actually appear, it is nothing more than ideas.
- Escape characters (Presumably \n).
- Comment support. Hash # and semi-colon ; seem to be the conventions.
- Ticket #644 has ideas on better @error reporting.

If somebody wanted to work on it, they would have volunteered by now.

This appears to be mostly fixed. I scripted a couple of demos working with >300KB ini file, and most things worked fine. The one that didn't work was IniReadSection() with huge individual sections.

Is there any solution in sight for the IniReadSection?

Hi,
this topic is so old, but still needed. I guess, Valik has enough more important stuff to do. So maybe this requirement could be delegated to somebody else?
Just a thought.
