hi i wrote a little script that catches from ontexts and saves to ini..the problenm i have is when it saves to ini it returns the text like this

VA-Schmedding_800-(TRAUM079)-WEB-2006-d=1 SCENE.NUKE.not.working

with a = which i am trying to get rid of so the ini will read as follows

VA-Schmedding_800-(TRAUM079)-WEB-2006-d 1 SCENE.NUKE.not.working

any ideas thx peeps

sorry forgot to paste the part i am having probs with ...here it is

var %rel1 = $strip($remove($2,[,])))
var %nuke = $strip($remove($3,[,])))
var %complete2 = %rel1 1 SCENE.NUKE. $+ %nuke
/writeini -n predb.ini nuked %complete2

try using $replace
You also have too many parantheses in your code.
Here's a re-write with all of the changes, and making it one line. If you need the variables for use elsewhere in the script, then use the second code.

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.

Oh...I thought the requester wanted to get rid of the = sign that was in the data being stored.

Yeah, that's how it looks, but looking at the %complete2 variable, you can see that 1 is not part of the name.
