hey guys,

I would like to parse an ini file, but keep getting an error because im using non-alphabetical characters. Here’s a sample file:

```auto

[first section]
site = good <a href=http://kirupa.com>tutorials</a>

```

Is there a script that will just automatically put a (") mark around the content of site so its like:

```auto

site="good <a href=http://kirupa.com>tutorials</a>"

```

any ideas on how to do it.

thanks guys,

pat
