Hi, @Stefan Marjoram

You can add this draft function for reading settings from file to string array.

#define  ARRAY_APPEND(array, value)                  \
   ArrayResize(array, ArraySize(array) + 1, 128);   \
   array[ArraySize(array) - 1] = value;

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//||
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void LoadSettings(string filename, string &settings[]) {
   int f = FileOpen(filename, FILE_READ | FILE_TXT | FILE_ANSI);

   if(f) {
      string setting = "";
      string s;
      while(!FileIsEnding(f)) {
         s = FileReadString(f);
         StringTrimRight(s);
         StringTrimLeft(s);
         if(s == "[Tester]") {
            if(setting != "") {
               ARRAY_APPEND(settings, setting);
               setting = "";
            }

         }
         if(s != "" && StringSubstr(s, 0, 2) != "//") {
            setting += s + "\n";            
         }
      }

      if(setting != "") {
         ARRAY_APPEND(settings, setting);
      }
      FileClose(f);
   } else {
      PrintFormat("Error open file: %s", filename);
   }
}

#undef  ARRAY_APPEND

And use it in OnInit() like this

int OnInit() {
   string Settings[];

   LoadSettings("MySettings.ini", Settings);

   /* For check reading
 for(int i = 0; i < ArraySize(Settings); i++) {
 PrintFormat("------------ Settings[%d]: --------------", i);
 Print(Settings[i]);
 }
 */

   for (uint i = ArraySize(Settings); (bool)i--;)
    Run(Settings[i]);

   return INIT_SUCCEEDED;
}

Validate is able to run many ini orders sequentially

1. Put necessary ini-files into Files\YourName folder.
2. Start Validate in Terminal, where you specify the folder name - YourName.

The ini-tasks will be launched sequentially.

Create 20 required ini-files and do as described above.

I'm getting allergy attacks in the middle of nowhere.

What could be the cause?

It's an allergy in the middle of nowhere.

What could be the cause?

Is the Start button pressed by hand?

Is the Start button hand-operated?

Yes.

I only use this code

   if(MTTESTER::IsReady())
     {
      Sleep(200);
     }

   if(MTTESTER::ClickStart())
     {
      Sleep(200);
     }
