If you have MMF, use GroupItemString$( "Ini", > Enter string here <, > Enter string here < ) With the old ini functions, things are a little more tricky. Say you have an ini file c:\game directory\loader.ini and I assume the settings of the loader ini object are correct. And let's say the contents of the loader.ini is: [musicGroup] musicItem=music.mp3 Before you use the function string of$( "loader ini" ) you must set the current group to "musicGroup" and set the current item to "musicItem".

Allso i can get "c:\gamedir\" to the textbox but i can't combine them. Is there any solution to put them together? And yes im using tgf. [Signature][/Signature]

Bibin At least 9001 Registered 01/07/2005 Points 308	23rd February, 2007 at 16:38:54 - I did it exactly as shown above, and instead I got a file named "appdrive$ + appdir$ + whatever.ini" in the directory of my game. n/a

hapsi Registered 13/11/2003 Points 775	28th February, 2007 at 12:30:57 - Actually the event of the condition is (dmc2 object): appdrive$ + appdir$ + string of$( "level settings loader" ) I cant put it in quotes --> appdrive$ + appdir$ + "string of$( "level settings loader" )" [Signature][/Signature]
