Hi,

An ini file is a txt file that is structured to get and/or store information easily so I would be recommending that method to you unless you have special needs.

example code

; ini file name to use
$file_ini = 'my program settings.ini'

; create ini file if not exists
If Not FileExists($file_ini) Then
	IniWrite($file_ini, 'gmail', 'username', '')
	IniWrite($file_ini, 'gmail', 'password', '')
EndIf

; read ini file values form gmail section
$username = IniRead($file_ini, 'gmail', 'username', '')
$password = IniRead($file_ini, 'gmail', 'password', '')

; show result
MsgBox(0, Default, '$username = ' & $username & @CRLF & '$password = ' & $password)

; example of checking for non empty values for both values
If $username <> '' And $password <> '' Then
	MsgBox(0, Default, 'both variables have values worth using')
EndIf
