Emmanuel Bourg commented on CONFIGURATION-324:
----------------------------------------------
The parser for properties files can't be reused as is unfortunately, there are
several differences between the two formats, values can be quoted in an INI
file for example, and it's also possible to put a comment after the value.
I wonder how we should handle line continuations combined with end of line
comments. I guess we should support this:
{code}
foo = bar \ ; comment
baz
{code}
but not this:
{code}
foo = bar ; comment \
baz
{code}
> INIConfiguration does not support line continuation

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Documentation, Format
> Affects Versions: 1.5
> Reporter: Charles Honton
> Priority: Minor
>
> INIConfiguration does not support line continuation. See
> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INI_file#Escapes for a description. Using
> INIConfiguration to read the following file:
> [section1]
> dotted.var1 = \
> foo
> var2 = doodle
> Produces the following contents:
> section1.dotted.var1= \
> section1.foo=
> I expected the following contents:
> section1.dotted.var1= foo
