MetaCard stacks can be effectively be compressed. This is not so much
an issue when they are stored on the local hard disk, but when they
are transferred over http, having them gzipped could greatly improve
overall performance.
The compression algorithms are already in the engine, so why not t

Yes, it is faster and you dont have to care about commas or returns

Hi!
I have not tried it, but propably something like the following is the fastest:
function getIniValue theFile,theGroup,theKey
put false into groupFound
repeat for each line aLine in url ("file:"&theFile)
if not groupFound then
if aLine is "["&theGroup&"]" then
put 1
Okay, I have tried everything in order to check and see if my playing

First, I have used this, but it doesn't work:

There might be a simpler way:
put url "file:inifile.txt" into tFile
filter tFile with "*=*"
Now tFile contains only those lines that contain "=", i.e. the value
lines. If you only want the values without the names, add this:
set the itemDelimiter to "="
put empty into tValueList

You could add a handler to your home stack that does something similar
to Hypercard's "searchscript" handler; only it could be simpler than
that one:

I'm trying to write a small installer stack for Windows deployment.
The aim is to build a self-expander using the WinZip utility. This
allows you to include a command that will be executed once files have
been copied to the default temp directory. Such self-expanders do
the following:

Is there a way to globally replace a string in all the scripts in a stack?
