Read from file (Please Help!!!!!!)
I am new on scripting, My thougth is this. I have a file maybe an .ini-file where i have an serialnumber and something else maybe. When the installer starts it's read the file for the serialnumber and after that it´s write the serialnumber down in the registry. Should i use "ReadINIStr" or another function? And could anyone give a code example so I see how the code is writen?

Sorry for my bad English

WriteRegStr "HKLM" "Software\%Your Software%" "Serial" "$0"

Lets say you INI file is set up like this.

[User_Info]
Name=John Doe
Company=Nullsoft
Serial=1234-1234-1234-1234

Then your code would look like this:

ReadINIStr $0 "YourFile.ini" "User_Info" "Serial"
WriteRegStr "HKLM" "Software\%Your Software%" "Serial" "$0"

Then if you want to read more lines in the INI, you would just change the 'ReadINIStr' code. You can look up ReadIUNIStr and WriteRegStr in the help manual.

Because i wasn't shure how if I should use an .ini file or a text-file.

Thanks for the help "Shea" :)
