fgets() only reads a single line at a time so the variable only needs to be as long as the longest single line (plus 3). If that doesn't explain it for you then you need to attach at least an example of this INI file. Also, there is no reason that you can't use nvault or something else. If you can explain better what exactly you are trying to do, we can provide a better solution than using an INI file.
