Well just use the normal functions to write to a txt file, but use the extension .ini
I may edit this later with better advice

'Ini' files tend to be specific to the application. What application are you using that requires this file to be marked 'ini'?

His advice is correct. Ini files are text files. With a certain rule how this text should look. We can't help you if you don't post the files, the code, and exactly what you want to do!

Are you programming in NXT-G or some other programming language? If you are using a text-based programming language like NXC then I would encourage you to post your source code so that we can help you correct the problems you are having. Send it to a compressed folder (aka .zip file) and attach it to your next post. Can I ask why you are wanting your NXT to create an ini file for you?

I'm programming in NXT-G.
I have a ini-file with the name objects. I download the ini-file to the NXT-brick. The NXT-G code read the file en write the first sentence of the file on the display, but there isn't.
It works when I make the ini-file to a txt-file.
