Method of
WinProfile object
Syntax
Boolean writeString ( String section, String key, String value);

-
section -
Section in the file, such as "
boot"or "drivers". -
key - The key in that section whose value to change.
-
value - The new value.

Description
The writeString method is similar to the Windows API function WritePrivateProfileString. To delete an existing value, supply null as the value parameter. Unlike the WritePrivateProfileString function, this method does not support using a null key to delete an entire section. Values are not actually written until performInstall is called.
Example
To set the name of the wallpaper file from the desktop section of the win.ini file, use this call:
ini = getWinProfile (getFolder("Windows"), "win.ini");
ini.writeString ("Desktop", "Wallpaper", "newpathname");
