$config.open

$config.open Opens a config file
Usage
$config.open(<filename:string>[,<flags:string>])
Description
Opens a config file. If the file already exists, its contents are parsed and available for extracting by the $config.read() function. <filename> may be an absolute path or a relative path: if a relative path is used, KVIrc will complete it with a local KVIrc directory suitable for writing script config files. If the config file doesn't exist, it is opened as empty config file. Flags can contain a combination of letters r and w. If only r is specified, the config file is opened in read-only mode: no changes will be written to disk. If only w is specified, the config file is opened in write-only mode: the contents of the file on disk are not read. If <flags> are not specified then rw is assumed. The function returns an identifier for the open config file. This identifier is a mandatory parameter in all the other config.* functions and commands. The config section is set to the default section name: you can change it by using config.setsection. After you have finished using the file, don't forget to call config.close! KVIrc tries to not open a config file twice: if the file was already opened then the identifier of the open file is returned. You can check if a config file is already open by using the $config.id() function.
Examples
# It is a good idea to store the returned ID to a variable :) %cfg = $config.open(myscript.kvc) %num = $config.read(%cfg,Number,0) echo Number of entries is %num %num++; config.write %cfg Number %num config.close %cfg
