I got around it by renaming the space character tokenised list to one tokenised with underscores: Code: var %j = 1 set %desc $null while ( %j <= $gettok($did($dname,2),0,32) ) { set %desc $addtok( %desc,$gettok($did($dname,2), %j, 32), 95 ) inc %j } where the name of the ini file section is read from that dialog call and stored tokenised with underscores in %desc for use later in writing to the inifile. To read it back from the ini file I used Code: var %j = 1 set %desc $null while ( %j <= $gettok( $ini(%inifile, %i), 0, 95) ) { set %desc $addtok( %desc,$gettok($ini(%inifile, %i), %j, 95), 32 ) inc %j } Here %desc, is the section title read back from the ini and retokenised using spaces. The path to the ini is %inifile Edit: That post appeared whilst I was writing this, please tell me if the quotes work and I wasted a lot of time Last edited by Aenei; 18/12/05 09:12 PM.

Why didn't I think of that. %i is set somewhere else, but yes the second code could be altered in a similar manner without much bother. Not to worry I'm probably going to recode the whole thing to use hash tables shortly anyway.
