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]
| section | Specifies the section that contains the desired key. |
| key | Specifies the key who's value is to be retrieved. |
| filename | Specifies 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.
