ok i tested your code and it works, it removes quotes, but when i tried to use it in my project it returns empty string and load object fails. is there a way to find quotes and remove them some other way?

Also if you have Matrix1 utilities; use this function: UNQUOTE$ ( Source String )

If my method fails as you describe then other methods will probably fail too such as the one just suggested. Have you tried printing out the string before doing anything with it? Perhaps it's not what you expect?

And how did you give the string a value? Perhaps we need to see sample code and media?

Just tagging on...

However my curiosity is how is the string placed in the ini file and also what method are you using to extract the code?

An empty string you say? If GG's example works for you, but doesn't work in your project when you implement it, I can only conclude that the variable you store the string in isn't global. It would help if you posted the section of your code that does the reading, and the section of the code that does the loading for further examination. If they are in functions or subroutines, post the entire function/subroutine.
