>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.

Yes, 8000 is the size of the buffer.
BTW I think the entries are separated with CHR(0).
