The original INI file:
// Some INI files uses comments like this
And even just like this!
[Group1]
Number = 10
[Group2]
Number = 20
; And pure basic use comments like this in INI files
; But it please don't make it mess up the whole file like it does now!
The same file after I changed the value of Number in Group1:
// Some INI files uses comments like this =
And even just like this! =
[Group1]
Number = 99
[Group2]
Number = 20
; And pure basic use comments like this in INI files
; But it please don't make it mess up the whole file like it does now!
Does it really have to trash the whole INI file?
Please just fix this... <-- that was the feature request

It's not fun making a INI editor for a game when the INI file looks like it was raped after I changed a value in it!
I know it's a stupid request, but I think it should be easy to fix.

If it's a windows program I suggest you use the WinAPI to modify INI-files that is created by other programs to avoid this kind of problems. I use them myself in a couple of programs that needs to modify the INI-file for UT2004, which does NOT like being modified by PB
This is a link to all available functions:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/defau ... ctions.asp
Code: Select all
BOOL WritePrivateProfileString(
LPCTSTR lpAppName,
LPCTSTR lpKeyName,
LPCTSTR lpString,
LPCTSTR lpFileName
);
It's very easy to use. Just one single line of code:
Code: Select all
WritePrivateProfileString_(@"Section", @"Key", @"Value", @"ini-file.ini")
