Sample code for GetPrivateProfileString()

[burger87]

I am trying to read data from an ini file. I have read the MSDN website regarding this function, but I don't have the slightest idea on how to implement it.

Can anyone post a sample code on reading an ini file? Thanks.

There is a small open source project called IniReader somewhere on the internet. Go find it and it shows you a very secure way to do this.

There some sample code here:

Wow that's some lengthy code! I only have 3 keys to read from my ini file. Do I really need that?

Not really.

Take what you want from the example. Once you get used to the WIN32 API, the parameters will become obvious.
