Ini files are just text files, so the first thing you need to be reading about is
- fopen
- fgets
- fclose

Then you can add things like
- find Category
- find symbol
- find symbol in category

Or whatever else you want to do

For a properly formatted ini file on windows, you can also use the GetPrivateProfileString() and GetPrivateProfileInt() functions.

GetPrivateProfileString() and GetPrivateProfileInt()
which header are they in - is it windows.h ?

I bet Google would tell you if you asked nice enough.

Quzah.

google's not talking to me. I bugged it with so many questions yesterday

try the msdn.microsoft.com then ;)

GetPrivateProfileInt
GetPrivateProfileString

Don't understand why Google didn't work ... that took me more time to post than to find!

don't blame google for your mistakes :D
