Problem with rget and ini file (see attached ini)

[r0n]

I have this weird problem, I created an application that uses the attached ini file but when using rget nothing gets retrieved from the attached ini file.
Something is not right with the attached .ini file. (it has no virus!!!)

I looked in the properties of the file and user rights but all seems to be ok.
When I copy the contents of the attached ini file and then rename the ini file and create a new .ini file called "settings.ini" at the same location and paste (and save) the contents in there...below script works! (???)

Is there something I overlooked? (I bet I overlooked something ...)

I checked the file and noticed it was encoded with UTF-8-BOM when i changed it utf-8 it worked. Looks like it was the byte order mark causing the issue

also there is a mistake in your code on the last rget statement

change

Code:

Copy      Help

rget ini_icn_newicon_folder_path "ini_icn_newicon_folder_path" "settings" ini_pth

to

Code:

Copy      Help

rget ini_icn_newicon_folder_path "ini_icn_newicon_path" "settings" ini_pth
