hi Borislav... tks for your repli...

well.... GetPrivateProfileSection(m.lcSection, @lcString, 8000, lcInitFile) doesnt give to variable lcstring any CR and/or LF... it is space (or other code) in each entry... I'm trying to figure out.. how may I separate those entries.

is the parameter 8000 means the size of the output string?
