Description (last modified by )
From forum thread here.
Summary: Rewrite all the INI functionality from scratch to by-pass all Windows limitations.
Ideas to consider. Consolidated list so I don't forget these things. No promises any of this will actually appear, it is nothing more than ideas.
- Escape characters (Presumably \n).
- Comment support. Hash # and semi-colon ; seem to be the conventions.
- Ticket #644 has ideas on better @error reporting.

If somebody wanted to work on it, they would have volunteered by now.

Ref: Support topic: Array limited http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=107138
This appears to be mostly fixed. I scripted a couple of demos working with >300KB ini file, and most things worked fine. The one that didn't work was IniReadSection() with huge individual sections.

Almost 4 years now. :-(
What about another try to skip support for old Windows and implement a new funtion?

Hi,
this topic is so old, but still needed. I guess, Valik has enough more important stuff to do. So maybe this requirement could be delegated to somebody else?
Just a thought.
