Default value: The value to use if it doesn't exist (optional).

 

Macro name: The name of the temporary macro in which to store the value that was read from the file (optional, defaults to storing in the READ_INI_VALUE if not specified).

Do not escape special characters: Does not escape (double) special characters in the INI file values when storing in a macro.

 

Append to macro value: If checked and the macro already exists, the found text will be appended if the macro already exists.  If unchecked, any existing macro value will be replaced.

 

Log matches: If checked, all matching text found in the file will be logged when the step is built.

 

Fail step if file, section, or value not found: If checked and the file, section, or value doesn't exist, the step will fail.  If unchecked, the default value will be used.
