What about adding the ini file to the application resources?

why you need an external .ini file?

Was using the inbuild configuration file support!

If I stick the INI in the resource file will the openconfig() etc open from the resource file?

Yes openconfig should open an ini file from resources.

COOL!

Perhaps the docs should indicate that would happen....

Hmm, doesn't seem to pick up the ini file in the resource...

Code:
     -- INI file
        
        openconfig("amazing.ini")

        local opt_block_size = readconfignumber("options", "blocksize", "16")

        debug(opt_block_size)


ini file is called amazing.ini and in the resources, contains...

Code:
[options]
blocksize=32


however the debug shows 16

Mmmh...you're right...

Actually the only way to read a line from a resource file is using
openres("myfile.txt", true)
(true = multi line parsing)

openconfig works only for newly created config files

So then back to my original request - can we have an option to include file(s) in the installer cab please?

Hi,

still need a way to write to a internal resource file. Why?

I want to save the current level the user is on and don't wnat them to be able to open an external file and edit it. So how can this be done?

I thought that was what the cryptkey parameter is for: so you can encrypt your config files. Of course, I could be way off the mark.
