I'm sure I must have written it at one point, it was pretty simple to rewrite:
/***********************************************************************************
parseConfig
$inPathOrDocRef -> File to parse
$inEOL -> EOL used by config file
RESULT <- Collection with key/value pairs
read from file
***********************************************************************************/
method "parseConfig"($inPathOrDocRef; $inEOL = "\n")
$config := new collection
c_time($doc)
if (type($inPathOrDocRef) = is text)
$doc := open document($inPathOrDocRef)
else
$doc := $inPathOrDocRef
end if
if ($doc # ?00:00:00?)
c_text($text)
receive packet($doc; $text; maxlong)
if (type($inPathOrDocRef) = is text)
close document($doc)
end if
array text($lines; 0)
split string($text; $inEOL; $lines; false)
array text($matches; 0)
for each ($lines; $line)
if (left trim($line) # "//@")
if (regex match("/^(.+?)=(.*)$/"; $line;
$matches))
$key := trim($matches{1})
if ($key)
$config{$key} :=
trim($matches{2})
end if
end if
end if
end for each
end if
return ($config)
end method
This is exactly as documented with the exception that the old style 4D comments
are not recognized, only // comments.
