[RESOLVED] DOS Commands...

[andersonmat]

So, I need help on a DOS command to read an .ini file and then output the result as a variable. I have a program that will output the install directory to a .ini file called "install.ini"...

The INI file has on category and one value:

Code:

[Configuration]
Directory= (WHAT EVER THE USER PICKS)

So far, i have most of the code needed to properly execute the program and it is as follows:

Code:

@echo off
cls
set inifile=install.ini
set install=(CODE TO READ THE .INI File)
hldsupdatetool -command update -game "hl2mp" -dir %install%
EXIT

Any help would be greatly appreciated as Google has let me down--i cant seem to find anything on Google!

Thanks ahead of time:
Matt Anderson

I wasn't sure where to post it-- windows or off topic--but sorry!

I was on that site last night--not quite what I'm looking for but close...

It was also the best i could find, then I just quit trying and when I have the time I'll just do it in Delphi (it's much easier to do)
