Forums Feature Suggestions Extra /writeini flag to make duplicate item names

Many .ini files look something like the following



I propose a flag for /writeini that will cause mirc to append the item to the ini section reguardless of if it exists.

Edit:
I suppose this will also require an additional parameter to $readini since $readini only returns the value of the first item matching the specified name.

That would go against the very principle of inifiles. Inifiles are used to save settings, etc. If you want to save multiple settings, give each setting a different name.

Seeing how your section is named Favorites, you should store your info like this:

[Favorites]
server1=1234
server2=2345
server3=3456

Also, I'm not even sure what you want is possible, since the ini file format is defined by Windows, and not mIRC.

Oh really? Tell that to that developers of Unreal Tournament and the various other games that allow several identically-named items in a .ini section. I am not saying I agree with how they did it, but they did.

Also I would like to note that mIRC returns the number of items, including the extra count for duplicates, if you check the number of items using $ini.
