readmap question

[Cor]

textfile

----------------
[C#]=
f4=01

f4=02
-----------------

mymap=File.ReadMap(File.DirAssets,"textfile.txt")

'will find the [C#] key however if i want from that point
find the first f4 it comes always with the latest f4

For i = 0 To mymap.Size-1
If mymap.GetKeyAt(i)="[C#]" Then Exit
Next

For key = i To mymap.Size-1
If mymap.GetKeyAt(key)="f4" Then Exit
Next

'shows 02 the value of the latest f4 key
ToastMessageShow(mymap.GetValueAt(key),True)

Maybe i'am missing something

By definition a Map (or Hashtable) has exactly one value per key.
You should add key and value pairs to the Map and then save the map with File.WriteMap.
Later you can load the map with File.ReadMap.
GetKeyAt / GetValueAt should not be used usually.
Search for "hash table" for more information about this data structure.

A Map is like a Hashtable. Each key is unique so you can only have one "f4" key/value pair. The value of the later pair overwrites the value of the earlier one.
