INI file shortcuts...

Code:

; sizeof.dest must be defined!
macro GPPS dest,item {
  match x=:y,item \{
    invoke GetPrivateProfileString,INI.\#x,INI.\#y,x\#.\#y,dest,sizeof.\#dest,INI.file
  \}
}
macro WPPS item,dest {
  match x=:y,item \{
    invoke WritePrivateProfileString,INI.\#x,INI.\#y,dest,INI.file
  \}
}

...these are from a recent project. First layout the INI string you need:

Code:

; section and key names
INI:
  .LOCALIZATION TCHAR 'LOCALIZATION',0
  .TITLE        TCHAR 'TITLE',0
  .PROMPT0      TCHAR 'PROMPT0',0
  .PROMPT1      TCHAR 'PROMPT1',0
  .PATHS        TCHAR 'PATHS',0
  .GAME         TCHAR 'GAME',0
  .LIBRARY      TCHAR 'LIBRARY',0

; section.key defaults
LOCALIZATION:
  .TITLE   TCHAR 'Custom Scenery:',0
  .PROMPT0 TCHAR 'Select Custom Scenery Library Folder:',0
  .PROMPT1 TCHAR 'Select Themed Folder:',0

PATHS:
  .GAME    TCHAR 'C:\Program Files\',0

...and then just:

Code:

GPPS gPath,PATHS:GAME

WPPS PATHS:GAME,gPath

Need to have a sizeof.gPath defined. Yes, I'm am this lazy - add more to it later. Maybe to build the string table automatically or something.
