    Question how to write and save ini files like some apps do with their ini's

    Im working on app that will keep lists of things in a ini file from edit boxes on a dialogs.

    I already know about CEdit and WritePrivateProfileStrings things.
    but I need things to be listed like this. also I will add ability to delete.

    mIRC does this same way with the servers.ini and alias.ini


    [thing]
    n0=here
    n1=food
    n2=metal
    n3=hotdogs
    n4=metals
    n5=pencils
    n6=pens
    n7=paint

    for your info. Im using MFC to make my program in Visual C++ 6.0.

    Then remove the call to SetRegistryKey() in you main App InitInstance() function. Then the writes and reads to the registry will happen in an ini file instead.

    I been rackin' out my brain
    It don't matter how we make it
    'Cause it always ends the same
    You can push it for more mileage
    But your flaps r' wearin' thin
    And I could sleep on it 'til mornin'
    But this nightmare never ends
    Don't forget to call my lawyers
    With ridiculous demands
    An you can take the pity so far
    But it's more than I can stand
    'Cause this couchtrip's gettin' older
    Tell me how long has it been
    'Cause 5 years is forever
    An you haven't grown up yet
