Hehe. I tried googling this, but all I've come up was Visual C++ results. How would I go about reading from a VERY VERY basic ini file in console C++ Using DevC++?

The only things in the ini file are:

b=65.0
c=1.5
k=1.65

I'm linking to this ini so that the value of those numbers can be changed without recompiling the whole thing.

Why would VC be different than DEV?

Open the file
Read a line
Figure out what the line contains

and how would you do this?
how would you program this? If I just use:

#include "file.ini"

it gives errors. How do you read from it?

Also, VC++ uses completely different commands from console c++ and WinAPI...

You need to learn how to OPEN and READ a file. There are a lot of threads here that show how, and there are tutorials all over the web. As well as books galore.
