Hello all,

I am currently in the process of figuring out a way to make a media program automatically open a file and change settings using a config file. I have the source code of the media program, and I know that I am going to need to alter it to read from a config file. I was wondering if anyone could tell me, or at least explain to me how to effectively use them. I am thinking that to make this happen, I need to set some new variables in the source code of the program, and after reading the config file, to use these new variables to hold the values. Then I could somehow simulate user actions to load the file and change settings. I know this isn't all very clear, but I was wondering if someone could give me a little information on config files, and what carriage returns are.
