Support key-only entries, and keys with spaces
I would like this otherwise fine library to support INI files of the form:
[Example section name]
Foo=Bar
[Some List]
Entry 1
Entry 2
entry C
line four has spaces
and # some ; characters can legally be used
This would allow INI files to contain lists of data without needing to resort to hacks like embedded CSV:
[Section 1]
Some List="Entry1","Entry 2","entry c", "line four has spaes", "and # some ; characters can legally be used"
or adding =1 so every key is a key/value pair:
[Some List]
Entry 1=1
Entry 2=1
entry C=1
line four has spaces=1
and # some ; characters can legally be used=1
This counts as a feature-suggestion. Some INI libraries already support arbitrary value-less keys, though Windows' own INI format does not support them.
Perhaps make it an option of IniParserconfiguration: AllowValuelessKeys and AllowAnyCharacterInKey?
Could you provide an example of other libraries allowing key less values @Jehoel? Can't find any and I would like to take a look at their approach.
Btw sorry for taking so long on looking at this issue, big personal changes in my life prevented me to spend some time on this side-project
Hi, I was wondering if this was going to be implemented? I did not see this in any examples recently and it is exactly the functionality I was hoping to find. Thank you!
Hi @njtaz76, this feature will be available in the next release, or now if you are willing to compile the project yourself:
