That won't help. The issue is that INI files *need* to have = signs after the item name and that is what the OP doesn't want. Instead, it would be easier to use a text file instead of an ini file. You can still create categories in it if you want to, but it won't require the = signs. Or, you can include item names when using writeini. You can use $ini to get the number of items in the group and then make the item name 1 greater, so that each item name is a number. Just a thought.
