/writeini doesnt set a varable
varables are temporary (normaly) .. however mIRC is only language i know of that alows some varables to be stored indefinatly.

but when you write somethign to an ini file its made to be at least slightly more perminit ... things that dont change rapidly ..

writeing to, and reading from a file take time

you could achive what you want by useing /temini .. on a timer if need be .. but if your wanting to remove values shortly after writeing them automaticly, maybe you should look into alternitive database methods ... perhaps hash files ?

/help /hmake

hadd alows you to use -u
