Post an enhancement request on the dev mailing list. There are lots of developers out there that would like to contribute to linuxcnc but don't because a lot of the required work requires in depth knowledge - ini file enhancements should be a simple standalone task. Ini file access should be through the inifile library, so it should only need to be changed in the C/C++ code in one place.
But first, it needs to be spec'ed... I suggest... * An new command in the ini file... [include filename] It is a bit of a fudge reusing a section. Anything after the "include " will be treated as a single file name, so for those that must, can put spaces in the path. * Any section tag eg [section] that is duplicated across multiple .ini files will have their list of values be combined, Eg... one.ini [Section1] Tag1=a Tag2=b [Section2] Tag1=a [include two.ini] ------------------ two.ini [Section1] Tag1=c Tag3=d Will produce the equivalent .ini file... [Section1] Tag1=a Tag2=b Tag1=c Tag3=d [Section2] Tag1=a > -----Original Message----- > From: Marius Liebenberg [mailto:mar...@mastercut.co.za] > Sent: Wednesday, 12 February 2014 6:52 AM > To: Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC) > Subject: [Emc-users] Multiple INI files > > I dont know if this has been asked before but hear me out please. > I wondered why we could not have a number of INI files with an #INCLUDE > type of structure.
