> what is the most elegant way to read a value out of an ini file?
Actaully reading a windows ini file .....
This is not elegant, but it parses a standard ini file, with a reasonable
degree of error trapping -- there are some tricky bits as what goes into an INI
file may not correspond to what REBOL thinks of as a word. And doubtless
testing on other INI files will throw up other error conditions that need to be
handled.
;;;=================
ini-block: copy []
current-section: copy []
foreach ini-line read/lines %/c/windows/win.ini
[section-name: ini-line
error? try [section-name: first load/all ini-line]
either any [error? try [block? section-name]
not block? section-name
]
[parsed-line: parse/all ini-line "="
append last current-section parsed-line/1
append last current-section parsed-line/2
]
[append ini-block current-section
current-section: copy []
append current-section form section-name
append/only current-section copy []
]
]
;; samples from my win.ini
print select/skip select ini-block "ports" "com1:" 2
print select/skip select ini-block "intl" "iCountry" 2
print select/skip select ini-block "TrueType" "FontSmoothing" 2
