Inline comments
Hello.
Is any possible to use inline comments like this:
Database = TankBattery # Database name
? Thenk you.
@AlexeyTipunin I'm so, so sorry I missed this issue! I remember reading the email notifying this issue but I don't know why I removed from my inbox and then forgot about this. My apologies
On your question:
no, inline comments are NOT supported, but that's a bug, not a feature!
The problem is that the parser supports the comment characters in the middle of keys / values (don't know what was I thinking when I made the parser behave like this 😢) The problem is that changing this behaviour will change the way the parser works and it will break compatibility with previous versions (triggering a new Major version of the lib)
I'll start working on correcting this issue and try to mitigate this behaviour while supporting inline comments, so I can skip a new Major version change.
Hi, Please not forget implement Configuration property like AllowInlineComment for turn inline comment search on and off, because sometime it's need to use ";" or "#" as value part
thanks, Andriy
I second this feature request. A lot of the INI files my application needs to parse will contain inline comments. Having this in the configuration options would be incredibly helpful.
