Hello everyone!

I'm need some help writing some code.

I have this chess program... and I want to write a simple configuration file
or .ini file for it.

For example... if it looked something like this.

------------------------------
st 10
sd 6
------------------------------

Now "st" stands for set time and "sd" stands for set depth.
I want my chess program to open or read the .ini file and change the default
settings.
I don't know how to _write it_. Could someone give me some help?

Here's a peice of it's code.

        if (!strcmp(s, "st")) {
            scanf("%d", &max_time);
            max_time *= 100000000;
            max_depth = 10000;
            continue;
        }
        if (!strcmp(s, "sd")) {
            scanf("%d", &max_depth);
            max_time = 1000000000;
            continue;
        }

Thanks for your time,
