I want to learn how to link up the .ini files to plugins.. I had looked a lot of plugins which have a connect with .ini files, but didn't get the logic as well.

Is there any in-line explanation or example that explains this process?

There's now a function called AutoExecConfig in AMXX, which should take care of all the logic itself.

That's for .cfg files. For .ini files there's a built-in INI Parser, but I prefer a custom made reading system.
You can have a look at my plugins that use .ini files for a working example.

I understood a little bit but can anyone make a simple example?

Try to do it yourself and post what you have done and explain what the problem is.

The SMC Parser (if that's what you're talking about) is not that easy to understand especially for newbies it might be very hard. Also, there are absolutely no tutorials on how to use it and haven't seen a plug-in using the SMC. There's 1 on SourceMod, and that's the admin plug-in. Other than than, I guess, on SM, ppl use KeyValues. So there's not rly much about learning SMC, just looking on the testinclude folder and trying to understand yourself how it works.

For a little example, I want to make a mapchooser. How can I read and administer datas in the .ini file that I use in my plugin? And please, explain without hard Amx Mod X phrases. I can't get everything 'cuz I'm a newbie.

This is my start code:

#include <amxmodx>

new const MAP_FILE[] = "maps.ini" // Creating the .ini file

public plugin_init() {

       register_plugin("Example", "1.0", "No One")         
}

ReadFile(PathToFile[])
{
new File = fopen(PathToFile, "rt");
new Buffer[128], A[128], B[128];
while (!feof(File))
{
fgets(File, Buffer, charsmax(Buffer));

if (!Buffer[0] || Buffer[0] == '#')
continue;

remove_quotes(Buffer);
strtok(Buffer, A, charsmax(A), B, charsmax(B), '=');
trim(A);
trim(B);

//A=Key
//B=Value
}

fclose(File);
}

/not tested/
/i have not implemented sections, i think that is too much for simple ini files/
