**FetchField( **//section, entry, field// **)**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

| **FetchField** | Returns a comma delimited value from the INI file. |
| //section// | A string constant, variable, EQUATE, or expression containing the INI file section name. |
| //entry// | A string constant, variable, EQUATE, or expression containing the INI file entry name. |
| //field// | An integer constant, variable, EQUATE, or expression identifying the comma delimited value to return. |

The **FetchField **method returns one of several comma delimited values from the INI file. FetchField assumes the value for the //entry// is one of several comma delimited values of the form V1,V2,...,Vn. For example:

**[MySection]**

**MyEntry=M,35,Blue,Brown,160**

A //field //value of one (1) returns the value prior to the first comma in the string; a value of two (2) returns the value between the first and second commas; a three (3) returns the value between the second and third commas, etc.

**Return Data Type:     **STRING

**Example:**

**Sound    STRING('ON ')**

**Volume   BYTE(3)**

** !program code**

** Sound=INIMgr.FetchField('Preferences','Sound&Volume',1)  !get 1st value - 'ON'**
