Copying variables

Post by Henk1956 »

I have the following in lines in an .ini file:

[Variables]
Nr=5
Text5=Hallo,#CRLF#this is me.

If I use the following bang:

[!WriteKeyValue Variables MyText "[#Text[&Nr]]" "#@#Variables.inc"]

The #CRLF# in the text is expanded and the entry in Variables.inc looks as follows:

MyText=Hallo,
this is me.

How can I make MyText to be the same as in Text5 (keep the #CRLF# so MyText=Hallo,#CRLF#this is me.)?

Note that this: "[#Text[&Nr]]" is also wrong, and must be "[#Text[#Nr]]" since you are nesting two variables, not a variable and a measure.
