Command Line

Command GETINI

Function:

Get an initialisation file key value or enumerate all the key names in a section. The value is stored in an environment variable called GETINI.
Syntax:
GETINI section key [filename]
sectionSpecifies the section that contains the desired key.
keySpecifies the key who's value is to be retrieved.
filenameSpecifies the initialisation file name.
Note:
  • Initialisation files generally have a .INI file extension.
  • The file extension must be included as part of the file name when parameter filename is specified (eg. WIN.INI).
  • When parameter filename is not specified then WIN_ONE.INI is used. Since WIN_ONE.INI is automatically mapped to the System Registry, then retrieving a key value from WIN_ONE.INI will retrieve the key value from the System Registry.
  • When parameter key is specified as an empty string (ie. "") then command GETINI will enumerate all the key names contained in the specified section and create a list which contains all the key names separated by comma's.
  • Example on using GETINI.
  • Also see command SETINI, GETREG, SETREG and Batch Programs.
