- Joel (16/16) Sep 07 2014 Is there any ini library that works in OSX?
- Dejan Lekic (3/19) Sep 09 2014 You have a pretty functional INI parser here:

Is there any ini library that works in OSX? I've tried the ones I found. I think they have the same issue.

How do you use this ini file parser?

Here's a failed attempt of mine - after the line. I would usually
have stuff like the following (right next):
Ini ini;
ini=new Ini( cfg );
ini["section"]["key"] = value;
-----------
import ini;
void main() {
import std.conv;
//load
string data;
int i;
foreach(item; parseINI(File("test.ini"))) {
data ~= item.to!string~"\n";
writeln("[*", i++, ' ', text(item), "*]");
}
//save //#not working!
data ~= "frog=jump"; // add more information
data ~= "frog=jump";
auto file = File("test.ini", "w");
file.write(data);
i = 0;
foreach(item; parseINI(File("test.ini"))) {
writeln("[+", i++, ' ', text(item), "+]");
}
}

I couldn't see how you could have (see below). It's got more than section, I don't know how to do that with your library. In this form: [section0] day=1 month=8 year=2013 item=Fish'n'Chips cost=3 shop=Take aways comment=Don't know the date [section1] day=1 month=8 year=2013 item=almond individually wrapped chocolates (for Cecily), through-ties cost=7 shop=Putaruru - Dairy (near Hotel 79) comment=Don't know the date or time. Also, what is CONFIG_STRUCT? - is that for using 'struct' instead of 'class'?On Monday, 13 October 2014 at 16:06:42 UTC, Robert burner Schadek wrote:I think I don't follow? readINIFile(CONFIG_STRUCT, "filename.ini"); ?On Saturday, 11 October 2014 at 22:38:20 UTC, Joel wrote:How do you use it with current ini files ([label] key=name)?On Thursday, 11 September 2014 at 10:49:48 UTC, Robert burner Schadek wrote:go to the link and scroll down a pagesome self promo: http://code.dlang.org/packages/inifiledI would like an example?

as you properly know, ini files don't support sections arrays. If you know all items at compile time, you could create structs for all of them, but that is properly not what you're looking for.
