This has to do with parsing strings and such, if you can help me out it'd be much appreciated.
If I had an INI setup as such...
[Animals]
5040=Dog,Cat,Cat,Mouse,Dog,Giraffe,Cat
..and I wanted to read that information in and output it as such...
2x Dog
3x Cat
1x Giraffe
1x Mouse
..what would be the most efficient way of doing this without using the keywords in the code? Thanks in advance.

Use an associative array to hold the numbers of each animal, and another string to hold the animals' names (you'll have to loop through it quite a lot). Then separate the string with a comma with string parser or something, and you should be able to go from there.

What's wrong with running through that list once?
• Start of Frame
String Parser : add delimiter ","
• Your event for whatever it is
String Parser : Set internal string to the string in INI
Start "loop" for Number of Tokens in String Parser
• On loop "loop"
AssArray : Set value at key Get Delimiter( LoopIndex( "loop" ) ) to value Get Value From Key( Get Delimiter( LoopIndex( "loop" ) ) ) + 1
Hopefully you'll understand that pseudocode.
