How do I parse windows INI style files? (the Functions/Methods/etc) Note: Not "the" windows files, the config format. I''m guessing windows would have functions for parsing them...

These only work with the registry/win.ini file, how do I read config files?

Ah, shoot...duh.

Sorry for doing that, I use the private ones to read/write to and from files right?
