How do I search though a specific INI file (let's say for example 'global.ini') for the specified value and return every item that contains that value? Example: global.ini contains this:
[general]
yellow=23
green=89
purple=23
orange=23
red=19 If I type !search 23, I want the script look inside global.ini and return all items with a value of '23'. So if I typed this, the script should return: Yellow Purple Orange Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Loop through the items using $ini and return their values using $readini.

Could you give me an example? I'm not very experienced with loops. :P

ehh, sorry to double post, but just to make sure we're clear, you do know I'm not interested in returning the values, but the name of the items, correct?

Example:
var %file = mydata.ini
var %sect = mysection
;---------------------
var %x, %i = 0, %ii = $ini(%file,%sect,0)
while (%i < %ii) {
inc %i
%x = $ini(%file,%sect,%i)
if ($readini(%file,%sect,%x) == $1) {
echo -a Matched $1 @ %x
}
}
Change %file and %sect to match your ini filename and ini section(topic). -genius_at_work

Just one more thing...
Not always are there results. How do I add an else statement or something in this?

After the last } of the while loop, add this line:
if (%x == $null) { echo -a No Matches Found }

I've tried many things and the things I tried ending up making it say 'no matches' when there ARE results and when there AREN'T results. But doing what you said...
while (%i < %ii) {
inc %i
%x = $ini(%file,%sect,%i)
if ($readini(%file,%sect,%x) == $2) { .notice $nick $cl %x }
}
if (%x == $null) { .notice $nick $cl No matches }
...doesn't work. If there ARE matches, it shows all matches and doesn't say "no matches". If there AREN'T matches, it doesn't show anything.

Try this:
var %file = mydata.ini
var %sect = mysection
;---------------------
var %x, %m = 0, %i = 0, %ii = $ini(%file,%sect,0)
while (%i < %ii) {
inc %i
%x = $ini(%file,%sect,%i)
if ($readini(%file,%sect,%x) == $1) {
%m = 1
echo -a Matched $1 @ %x
}
}
if (%m == 0) { echo -a No Matches Found }
