Read and parse .ini file to list
read.ini(filepath, encoding = getOption("encoding"))read.ini(filepath, encoding = getOption("encoding"))
filepath |
file to parse |
encoding |
Encoding of filepath parameter, will default to system encoding if not specifield |
Lines starting with '#' or ';' are comments and will not be parsed
List with length equivalent to number of [sections], each section is a new list
## Create a new temp ini for reading iniFile <- tempfile(fileext = '.ini') sink(iniFile) cat("; This line is a comment\n") cat("# This one too!\n") cat("[ Hello World]\n") cat("Foo = Bar \n") cat("Foo1 = Bar=345 \n") sink() ## Read ini checkini <- read.ini(iniFile) ## Check structure checkini checkini$`Hello World`$Foo## Create a new temp ini for reading iniFile <- tempfile(fileext = '.ini') sink(iniFile) cat("; This line is a comment\n") cat("# This one too!\n") cat("[ Hello World]\n") cat("Foo = Bar \n") cat("Foo1 = Bar=345 \n") sink() ## Read ini checkini <- read.ini(iniFile) ## Check structure checkini checkini$`Hello World`$Foo
Write list to .ini file
write.ini(x, filepath, encoding = getOption("encoding"))write.ini(x, filepath, encoding = getOption("encoding"))
x |
List with structure to be write at .ini file. |
