I have never EVER used ini's in any of my games but i am making a game that needs to use them. I am currently only testing the waters at the minute but i need to be able to call up different strings using the value of a counter. for instance the counter = 20 then i want a text box to display the string associated with that value.

I have tried allsorts of different things but each time the expression editor tells me it cannot understand my expression. please help. if i can get this to work then i can proceed with making my game.

You must use str$( 'counter here' ) to display counters inside strings.

I want to set the item of the group to the corresponding value of the counter.
i.e

1=Apple
2=Ball
3=Cat
4=Dog
5=Elephant

When the counter = 2 I want the text box to display the item that it relates to. etc...

TGF, MMF or MMF2?

I guess you're better off using arrays with this. But if you want to load text data from an item, with a name relative to a counter, you should use this expression:

GroupItemString$( "Ini", "group", str$(Value("Counter")) )
