Hi, I have the only entry in the text file [Info] AppID=12c5cad4-3f6c-46f9-8ba7-61253cb23bec How to retrieve "12c5cad4-3f6c-46f9-8ba7-61253cb23bec" entry

You can do the following : 1. Extract the entire row and then extract text starting from '=' or 2. i do not remember the functionality of the following functions exactly but i think you can use GetPrivateProfileSectionNames () or GetPrivateProfileString ()

Or use a regex package. Which language by the way.

As said by kapardhi Just try these two lines :)

TCHAR szOut[MAX_PATH];
DWORD dwReturn = ::GetPrivateProfileString(_T("Info"),_T("AppID"),_T("FAILED"),szOut,MAX_PATH,_T("C:\\yourfile.txt"))

You will get "12c5cad4-3f6c-46f9-8ba7-61253cb23bec" in szOut

thanks.. this worked

so, you voted every answer you got as Bad because you couldn't figure how to read the documentation by yourself ? The "said working" solution is what someone else suggested without providing code... Dude, help yourself, and learn reading the MSDN :zzz: And if you're about to vote for this post, take time at least to explain why you do so
