code:
$bd=readprofilestring(@SCRIPTDIR+'\birthdays.ini',@MONTH,@MDAYNO)
if $bd
$rc=messagebox('Todays Birthdays are:@crlf' + $bd, 'Happy Birthday', 64)
endif

for the following BIRTHDAY.INI
code:
[January]
1=John Doe
5=Jane Doe
[February]
6=John Miller, Jack Black

Granted, the .INI file is longer, but more readable and the KiXtart code itself is shorter [Big Grin]
