Read info from ini with specified range

[iktNL]

Well hello =)

I want to read out values in an ini with a user specified value.

Let's say this is the ini:

[Options]
AmountAdded=2

[AddedCars]
1=carderp
2=apples

Now I think using a for loop is okay, but MS Visual C++ 2010 doesn't like me using variables in the function GetPrivateProfi leString.

This is how the piece of code is:

GetPrivateProfileString("AddedCars",string(AmountAdded),NULL,Car1,128,"./TrafficLoad.ini");

However, as you maybe can see, GetPrivateProfi leString only accepts the 'where to look' if it's within quotes. Any way I can circumfence this? (Of course, AmountAdded increases everytime it's looping)
Thank you =)

This is the function prototype of GetPrivateProfi leString:

DWORD WINAPI GetPrivateProfileString(
  __in   LPCTSTR lpAppName,
  __in   LPCTSTR lpKeyName,
  __in   LPCTSTR lpDefault,
  __out  LPTSTR lpReturnedString,
  __in   DWORD nSize,
  __in   LPCTSTR lpFileName
);

For lpAppName you need an LPCTSTR but you provided a char*.
For lpKeyName you need an LPCTSTR but you provided an STL string object.
etc...

Until you provide the correct types for your arguments you will contnue to have difficulty.

I expect you will need to include <TCHAR.h> and use the TCHAR substitutions provided by Microsoft. Info is in MSDN and is very complete.

Thank you! It worked!
