Activ Scripts to Save/Load from files

I have created an ebook and have a need to save some variables to a text file to be retrieved and updated in subsequent usages of the ebook.  (ie: a progress tracker with variables)

There is references of doing this in the help that comes with the Active E-book compiler such as:

"...(you will need to store and reload the variables if you want them to exist during a subsequent E-Book session, for example, by saving to, and loading from, an external file)..."

as well as "Activ Script Files Statements" and "Activ Script INI Files Statements" in the Reference area but neither of these have examples to help achieve this.    Maybe an example on how to save and load variable from an .ini file.

Is there an example of how to achieve this or can someone help me put an example together that we can post here to help others that might want to do the same and need help as well.

Looking forward to any replys.
Thanks,
Lane

Sorry that I can't help you with this but Sunil, the developer of Activ eBook, should be back in a few days.  He will definitely give you some examples when he checks this discussion board...

If you need to just store a simple variable, e.g. page name or something, use an INI file (one file can store lots of variables this way).

Here's an example of saving a variable

INIWRITE('{myvariable}','myfile.ini','variables','myvariable')

Here's an example of reloading it

INIREAD('myvariable','myfile.ini','variables','myvariable')
