3. From matchText(tGroup,cr & pKey & "=" & "([^" & cr & "]*)", tResult)

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
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
