question number 3 -

I have INI file with many, many variables.

Is it possible to read a full INI section without declaring those variable beforehand?

Hi guy,   
  
 Thanks for your post.   
  
 No, sorry, we recommend defining any/all variables that you need to use your FinalBuilder process. If they’re not defined, it’s difficult to reuse them when adding other actions.   
  
 Regards,   
  
 Angus

If you only need to use them for one particular purpose, then it may be possible to use a different combination of actions - such as “Read Text File”, follow by some script - to get the functionality you need. If you can describe the problem more then we may be able to offer a solution.

What about iniFile Iterator? you can select "Iterate Section Values" - You will get a loop where each item has that Variable and Value of the next IniFile line

I think this is what you want.
