The format for an ini files read and updated with the RIF/WIF functions is as follows:
[Section Name]
Parameter_Name = Parameter_Value
Parameter_Name2 = Parameter_Value
[Section Name 2]
Parameter_Name = Parameter_Value
Parameter_Name2 = Parameter_Value
The brackets around the section name are required.
The folder containing your ini files is defined in the MET/CAL Configuration:
To read a value from the file, use the following:
#Define the name of the ini file to be read. Only files in the General INI Folder will be found.
1.001 MATH @file = "file.ini"
1.002 MATH variable = RIF(@file, "Section Name", "Parameter_Name")
To write a new value or update an existing value, use the following:
#Define the name of the ini file to be altered.
1.001 MATH @file = "file.ini"
#Define a variable with the value to be written or enter the value
#directly in the WIF function.
1.002 MATH value = 20
1.003 MATH variable = WIF(@file, "Heading Name", "Parameter_Name", value)
