Its me again with my problems..
Is it possible to make ini++ write modified string to config
normally ini++ makes it like this:
[player]
name=pallokallo
but i need it to make it:
//player
name pallokallo
If ini cant do it is there extension that can edit text files and replace
given values. For like i want to replace [ with // or = with empty space.

Well first things first, if you're using MMF, than just use the normal INI extension. INI++ isn't that good anymore.

Yes I have MMF2.. So you can make ini to write custom strings?

I don't know any right off the top of my head. I'm not sure why you'd need it though. The only point I can see for editing files like that would be for saving information to be retrieved. That's exactly what INI does.

You could make your own data storing system with the "DataGrid" object, saving and loading as ascii files. It would basicly be a 2D array, but not crypted and with a layout wich is easy to manually edit, just like an ini file.
Make a two colums array, the first beeing the item name, the second the value/string and use a space (" ") as the delimiter. It will give you exactly what you need.
That is if you have MMF2 dev, since the DataGrid object is a dev exclusive.

Or you could always use a plain old text editor that saves the txt with an .ini suffix!

He probably wants the ini file to be edited by his MMF app. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have botthered asking.

Yes, I know.  You can edit txt files from within MMF. Set it off-screen and use string functions and the line find thingamabob to manipulate it.

I know how to manipulate strings, but how would you load a txt file in MMF if it isn't organized for an extension to understand it?
I've been searching a way to do that for a while, but every data storing extensions I've tried all have their own fixed delimiters and way to parse data. I'd like to be able to load any type of file as one big string in MMF, but I haven't found a way yet. Would there be one?

You should take a look at the Get Line extension. I don't know if it's versatile enough for what you need it for, but it can select lines in txt files.

Thanks
But I've got no idea on how to use a .cox MMF1.5 extension.
In what folder should I put the file in and will it normaly appears in the object list?

O_o There should be an MMF2 version, because you can't use MMF1.5 extensions and I've got it in my object list...

Found it.
Too bad the file needs to have at least one line break. It also seems that, if a line is too long, it will ignore it and the followings. That means it'll work with files such as pdf, but not with gif, mp3 and such "big chunk of text" files.  I'll Still find many uses for it, so thank you very much:

Maybe you could have them save/load in your own extension or as .ini and then have an export option for building the Quake save? Though, this adds an inconvenience of having two files for the one save you want to make.. perhaps with a great deal of string parsing it's possible. But I know absolutely nothing about string parsing.
