INI Object Help

[MrXkill]

I am creating an application where a user can create an account using a client application. It will connect through lacewing to my server, that has an ini file with all of the user info in it. How can I make sure that when the user creates their account that there isn't a user with the same username (saved as a group name)? I also have "Enable Condition 'On Message To Server'" set to Passive.

Thanks,
Jack

Jack...should you not be using PHP for accounts and etc?

Well, I do not know PHP, nor how to use a mysql server. Every time I try the tutorial it never works for me (I always do something wrong). Ever since then, I have used my own way to store users in ini files on a server that I create through lacewing. Is there a way to search the ini file to see if a user has already been created? Thanks.

Yes,but only if you use the INI++ object by Jax, the regular INI object cannot do this or anything similar. If you still want to use the regular INI object, you would have to have a special Users group where it had the number of users, and for each user had their name:
[Users]
Users=5
User0=Nivram
User1=MrXkill
User2=Jax
User3=LB
User4=Jeff
