Greg,
I know of no "snap" function or single macro command to do what you desire.
I have used the following commands to find different ini file entries.
You must assign the full path and name of the desired ini file to access to
the variable #IniFile.
You must also identify the name of label used for the desired value in the
ini file and assign it to the variable #Entry. Do not use the equal sign and
make sure the characters are the same case.
The value for the identified name is then assigned to the string variable
#Entry.
The following sample should work for a default installation of Production
Milling on Windows 95. You may need to edit the code as explained above. The
example has a pause command at the end to display the value for testing.
STRING:#IniFile
STRING:#Label
STRING:#Entry
// Identify full path and name of ini file to access
#IniFile="C:\Sm9cfg\Home\Pmill.ini"
// Identify name of label in ini file.
// Do not add the equal ( = ) sign.
// The macro is case sensitive, so match the case.
#Label="import"
F_OPEN [FN=#IniFile, TY=R]
#Entry=""
#End = 0
WHILE (#End <> 1)
F_READ[FN=#IniFile, FMT="%S", VR="Entry"]
#End=F_EOF(#IniFile)
IF(#End=1)
GOTO(END)
ENDIF
IF(STREQUAL(STRSUB(#Entry,1,STRLEN(#Label)),#Label))
#Entry=STRSUB(#Entry,STRLEN(#LABEL)+2,STRLEN(#Entry))
GOTO(END)
ENDIF
ENDW
@END
F_CLOSE [FN=#IniFile]
PAUSE[TX=STRTMP("The entry for %Label is %Entry")]
