Hello People, I've been searching the forum and alot of other places, but I just can't find a way to load a ini file into a array, is this really so hard to do?

What are you trying to accomplish? It should be as simple as reading the content using FileSystemObject and adding accordingly.

Yes, sorry, I was just about to edit my post, Im trying to copy a few folders over the network, but pt the sources are hardcoded into the script,
trying to get "around" that

dim sendFolders(1)
sendFolders(0) = "C:\Scripts"
sendFolders(1) = "C:\SaveObjects"

my idea was to have a ini with the data setup like this

[sendFolders]
sendFolders1="C:\Scripts"
sendFolders2="C:\SaveObjects"

If you just need paths why not just list them in a text file without complicating it with a ini type syntax?

Well, the point was to add the sources via a HTA application, but yeah :(

Can this be done using a ini?

all my other settings are located in a ini, I wanna use the same file

You can, look at FileSystemObject to read the file...the thing I don't like about an ini file is you'll have to parse the values out (which I can do using regular expressions, but may be a bit more complicated for someone not familiar with them)

Hm, okay, I'll try the thing is Im not even familiar with VBS, actually Im not even a windows user, been using OS X for the last 3 years, so if somebody would be so kind to show an example of this it would be great... :/
