utils-ini-parse

Parse

Attempts to parse an input string as INI.

Installation

$ npm install utils-ini-parse

Usage

var parse = require( 'utils-ini-parse' );

parse( value[, options] )

Attempts to parse an input string as INI.

var out = parse( 'beep=boop' );
// returns {'beep':'boop'}

out = parse( 'beep boop' );
// returns <Error>

The function accepts the same options as utils-properties-parse, except

• sections is always true.
• separators is always '='.
• strict is always true.
• comments, by default, begin with ';'.

var out = parse( '# This is a comment.\nbeep=boop', {
	'comments': [ ';', '#' ]
});
// returns {'beep':'boop'}

Examples

var fs = require( 'fs' ),
	path = require( 'path' ),
	parse = require( 'utils-ini-parse' );

// Load an INI file...
var file = '/path/to/file.ini';
file = fs.readFileSync( file, {
	'encoding': 'utf8'
});

// Attempt to parse the file...
file = parse( file );
console.dir( file );
