IniFile - module for INI file handling

[Petr Schreiber]

The INIFile module is easy to use implementation of INI file handling for thinBasic.

It is provided with full source code, unit tests and binaries here:
https://github.com/petrSchreiber/thinBasic_iniFile

How to use:
Get the DLL from https://github.com/petrSchreiber/thi...eleases/latest

Place the thinBasic_iniFile.dll to Mod directory inside your thinBasic installation. Since then, you should be able to reference the module easily as:

uses "iniFile"

Examples of usage

To make work with multiple files easier, and to avoid specifying the file name over and over again, module provides simple object:

Uses "IniFile", "Console"

' -- Hook it to any file you need
Dim config As IniFile
config = New IniFile(APP_SourcePath + "settings.ini")

' -- Write data this way - first is section, then key
config.SetKey("Screen", "Width", "1920")
config.SetKey("Screen", "Height", "1080")

config.SetKey("User", "Name", "DarthVader")
config.SetKey("User", "Password", "Force")


' -- Read the data back, even with default values
PrintL config.GetKey("Screen", "Width") + "x" + config.GetKey("Screen", "Height") + "@" + config.GetKey("Screen", "BitDepth", "32")
PrintL

' -- List sections
PrintL "Sections:", config.GetSections(",")
PrintL

' -- List keys
PrintL "Keys for Screen:", config.GetKeys("Screen", ",")
PrintL

PrintL "Keys for User:", config.GetKeys("User", ",")
PrintL

WaitKey
