The following is an example of the GetMIFComponent, GetMIFInteger, GetMIFString, GetMIFValue, and SetMIFValue functions.

Dim file, gname, aname as string
Dim gid as integer

ClrScr()
file = "h:\test\miffus\file.mif"

Print("Component of """ + file + """: """ + GetMIFComponent(file) + """")

gname = "Strings"
gId = 1
aname = "string_1"
Print(gname + "." + aname + " = " + GetMIFString(file, gname, gId, aname, 1))
aname = "string_2"
Print(gname + "." + aname + " = " + GetMIFValue(file, gname, gId, aname, 2))

if SetMIFValue(file, gname, gId, aname, 2, "Text_new") then
	Print(gname + "." + aname + " = " + GetMIFValue(file, gname, gId, aname, 2))
else
	Print("1. SetMIFValue failed.")
	exit
endif

gname = "Numbers"
gId = 2
aname = "number_1"
Print(gname + "." + aname + " = " + Str(GetMIFInteger(file, gname, gId, aname, 1)))
aname = "number_2"
Print(gname + "." + aname + " = " + GetMIFValue(file, gname, gId, aname, 2))
if SetMIFValue(file, gname, gId, aname, 2, "999999") then

Print(gname + "." + aname + " = " + GetMIFValue(file, gname, gId, aname, 2))
else
	Print("2. SetMIFValue failed.")
