Continuation character for a windows INI file?

Posted by Admin on 15-Feb-2013 12:53

Kind of a silly question... but:

I have a really long PROPATH in my INI file...


it would be much easier to read if I could stack the paths and use some kind of continuation character (like I can in UNIX).  Does this exist?

According to Serverfault.com caret is the way to go http://serverfault.com/a/156186 .

Good to know.

Do you think that will work in an ini file as well?I doubt it. That link only talks about batch files.

Agreed... it doesn't seem to work in the INI file.   But good to know next time I write a BAT file.

This is just a little thing, but it helps to find PROPATH mistakes when they're not on one 500 character line... :-)

Might be worth noting that a Propath that long ... unless you are using really unwieldy directory names ... is probably impacting your performance.
