You could use fopen() and fgets()

Pretend I'm an idiot

How do you use them?

Code: Show/Hide

//<edit>
#include <stdio.h>
//</edit>

readExample()
{
FILE *conf;
char line[256];
int i, j;

//Open file for reading
conf = fopen("settings.ini", "r");
if (!conf) return;

//Get the first line
i = fgets(line, 256, conf);
if (i > 0) //Make sure there is something on it
{
sscanf(line, "%d", &j); //Convert to integer
}

//Close the file
fclose(conf);
}

There's probably a class with merv bot that can do .ini files, but I wouldn't know which file it was in.
