Writing to a .ini file

[Anon]

I'm trying to make a signup form that writes to an ini..

I can write to it..

BUT!

I need to put in this kind of data

[username $username]
rootdir = localhost\$username
DefaultDirectory= ""
FSysModification_Path1= /$username

now, i'm not sure how to work around the "" and / characters..i think that [ and ] stuff up as well. I cannot use substitutes because this is the only way that the program reads the ini file.

Please help in whatever way you can!

Thanks,

have you tried useing the backslash as an escape? ie. to output a quote use
echo "\""
a period would be
echo "."
a backslash would be
echo "\"
etc.
