General

I have installed ini node (node-red-contrib-parser-ini) to read INI file,
but do not know how to configure in the red frame below to be able to read the ini file with this node.
Please tell me!
Thanks.

That field (which has a bug in it) is for the name of the node (so can be ignored)

Glancing at the node code, I think the node needs the contents of an .ini file to be passed to it in msg.payload - not the name of the .ini file

@cymplecy Thank you very much!

Seeing that this node doesn't have much documentation, I'd suggest opening an issue on the node's GitHub page
