Class INI

Rough INI configuration file reader and writer.

When writing the file with INI:save(), sections are alphabetically ordered and comments are ignored. Use this only for your script, at your own risks.

Example

 -- myconfig.ini content is
 -- key=value
 -- [section A]
 -- key1 A=value1 A
 -- key2 A=value2 A
 -- [section B]
 -- key1 B=value1 B
 -- key2 B=value2 B
 local ini = INI:new("/path/to/myconfig.ini")
 print(ini:read("", "key")) -->'value'
 print(ini:read("Section A", "key2")) --> "value2 A"
 print(ini:read("Section Z", "key42")) --> nil
 print(ini:read("Section Z", "key42", "Universe")) --> Universe
 ini:write("Section A", "key1", "New value 1A")) --> value is replaced, but not yet saved
 ini:save() --> file is saved
