A Simple INI

What I want to do is create a few channels with my own general epg data. Something simple like this...

http://pastebin.com/raw/ph3TW3y2

Could I create an INI to pull data from a text file like this? How would this be done? Thanks for your help :)

dummy.ini or fixed.ini will both do this.

thet are in the misc folder of the site ini pack.

dummy.ini is start/stop and title only the channel line for you webgrab++config.xml

    <channel update="i" site="dummy" site_id="00:00-23:59##Title####" xmltv_id="Channel Name">Channel Name</channel>

fixed.ini is more versatile as it can contain much more stuff like category,description,subtitle and many more.

there's a fixed_info.txt with examples on how to do that.

just put the dummy.ini or fixed.ini in the same directory as your webgrab++config.xml

Thank you for the help Blackbear199. Unfortunately, I don't think I explained myself very well. What I meant was I want to pull the data from a text file that I have online, such as the pastebin link I posted., just like you do when you pull data from tvguide.com or wherever. Then all I have to do is change the text file to update the info that will be pulled.  Hope that makes sense
