Oliver Heger resolved CONFIGURATION-597.
----------------------------------------
Resolution: Not a Problem
Escaping of property keys works as expected.
> Periods in INI file keys not parsed correctly
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CONFIGURATION-597
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-597
> Project: Commons Configuration
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.10
> Reporter: Ryan Fox
> Priority: Minor
>
> I am using HierarchicalINIConfiguration. When I try to parse an INI file
> with periods in the key definitions, something goes wrong, and the periods
> are parsed incorrectly. For example, my INI file looks like
> [foods]
> breakfast.drink=oj
> lunch.drink=milk
> dinner.drink=beer
> And my java code looks like
> File configFile = new File("path/to/the/file.ini");
> HierarchicalINIConfiguration config = new
> HierarchichalINIConfiguration(configFile);
> config.getSection("foods").getString("breakfast.drink", null); // null
> config.getSection("foods").getString("breakfast..drink", null); // "oj"
> Note the double period in the second one. Is this something I'm doing wrong,
> or is there a bug in the parser? Are periods such as this even allowed in
> INI files? I can't find anything explicitly saying either way.
