INI utilities?

Post by John »

Are there any BR! open source functions to read and write to INI files? I need it respect section headings handle duplicate labels in separate sections, roughly follow standard ini file rough standards, etc.

Perhaps in fnsnap or anywhere else...

Just thought it'd be a good idea to ask before I went to writing my own again.

I didn't realize that there were standards for INI files! I'd love to know more. I have one tiny INI file, with only one heading in it, but I plan to expand it as I have time. I obviously made up my own rules :)

The INI file format is an informal standard for configuration files for some platforms or software. INI files are simple text files with a basic structure composed of "sections" and "properties".
