Wildfilew.vdm macro saves it's settings in file wildfilw.ini in user-mac directory. Most of the settings can be chosen interactively from within the macro dialogs (with the exception of the comment delimiter strings, see below), but you can edit the file manually if you wish.
The filename wildfilw.ini is used by default. However, you can choose any name and path when calling the macro, see Starting Wildfilew.vdm. You can then use several .ini files for different purposes, perhaps called from your User menu.
The settings are stored in the .ini file ascii text format, one setting per line. The line begins with keyword, followed by '=' character, followed by the value (numeric or text). The keyword must be at the very beginning of the line. There must be no spaces around '=' character.
You can add comments by starting a line with //. Inline comments are not allowed. Empty lines can be added. However, when Wildfilew is run, the file is overwritten and the comments will be removed (unless you called Wildfilew at the label read_ini, see "Starting Wildfilew.vdm".)
If any of the keywords is missing from the .ini file, default value is used and then saved to .ini file. If .ini file does not exist, it is created after running Wildfilew.vdm. (If you click [Cancel] button, the settings are not saved.)
The following keywords are recognized:
In Search and Search/Replace dialogs, there is an option to skip comments. By default, Wildfilew.vdm recognizes C/C++ comments (although the same comment delimiters are used in several other languages such as Java and Vedit macro language). However, it is possible to change the comment delimiters by editing the .ini file. You can then save the ini file with different name and select that file when calling wildfilew.vdm.
