GetProfileSections

[Guest]

I have looked at little on the new cf tags GetProfileSections and GetProfileString.

The more I have looked at the tags the more confused I have been.
What is the purpose of these tags?

I was thinking of create a setup.ini file containing all the setup features of the application. Including database parameters, file locations etc.

But then I found out that the tags must have an absolute path to the inifile. This means that I have to hardcode the location of the inifile in my application. I think that this takes the sweetness away of using an inifile as a setup file.

What do you read from ini files?

Best regards,

I solved the problem in this way:

<cfset cur_dir = GetDirectoryFromPAth(GetTemplatePath())>
<cfset inifil = GetProfileSections("#cur_dir#\test.ini")>
