    Description

    WriteString writes the string Value with the name Ident to the section Section, overwriting any previous value that may exist there. The section will be created if it does not exist.

    Note that it is not possible to write strings with newline characters in them. Newlines can be read from a .ini file, but there is no support for writing them.
