DC_ReadINI issue

I'm probably overlooking something incredibly stupid, but... my dc_ReadINI isn't getting anything, it's returning a blank string.
ini_file := path1 + '\MS.INI'
if Fexists(ini_file)
url := DC_INIREAD(ini_file, 'FTPsetup', 'url')
endif
MS.INI file is:
[FTPsetup]
url=ftp.outdoorresourcesllc.com
I tried it with hard wiring the path as well and still get "" returned.
What incredibly obvious thing am I overlooking???
thanks

The code looks correct.
I'm concerned about the variable path1 and what it contains.
Put some debugging in the code to make sure that it returns the correct path.
Code: Select all
ini_file := path1 + '\MS.INI'
wtf ini_file
if Fexists(ini_file)
wtf 'yes it does exist'
url := DC_INIREAD(ini_file, 'FTPsetup', 'url')
endif

This is very strange.
I get the same results as you, yet DC_IniRead() works fine on other .INI files.
I discovered that the group heading must be all CAPS.
Code: Select all
url := DC_INIREAD(ini_file, 'FTPSETUP', 'url')
