document for file I/O with VBA

M

muster

Hi all,

Where can I find a complete document about File I/O with VBA? I find
it hard to find in help due to the way it is organized.

I want to find ways to deal with files especially ".INI" alike text
files using Open, Input, etc. (let me know if there are better ways).
The functions I need are to seek lables like [General] and delte or
replace data in the section.

Thank you,

That's different. WritePrivateProfileString: INI Files - The Basics

These API calls will do all the work for you.
