Class StructureReader

StructureReader is an object that can read some structured-text config or data files.

Here is a short example of structure. This is format is more human readable than CSV, and is used by Harmony Assistant for some config files, so it follows the same syntax.

   FinFruit

Example

 Include "SMStructureReader"
 local sr = StructureReader.loadFile("/path/to/fruits.txt")
 local fruit = sr:next("Fruit")
 local cpt = 0
 while fruit do
   print(fruit:get("Name"))
   fruit = sr:next("Fruit")
 end
 print("Fruits found:" .. cpt)
 sr:rewind() -- go back to begining (top of the file)
 local vegetable = sr:next("Vegetable")
 if vegetable == nil then print("No vegetable found."); end
