| INI files are still useful to provide settings to an application. Vista is not going to change this. | "SevenZip" suppports the following formats: * 7z * split * zip * gzip * bzip2 * tar |

| The Windows API methods provided to read a particular value have an advantage: they follow a clearly defined search path, and following that path they take not only the INI file into account, they also check the Windows registry and the command line parameter. Furthermore, they deliver always up-to-date values. | You can either specify an appropriate extension or set the "type" property in order to enforce a certain format. |

| They have disadvantages as well: * They are slow * They return everything as a string If you are not interested in the Windows registry and command line parameters, and if nobody else is changing your INI files while your application is running, then the "!IniFile" class introduced in this article might attract your attention. This class allows you to use a kind of APL-Syntax in your INI files. Values not enclosed in quotes will be converted to numbers, everything else gets a string. == Details == === Character Values === An entry like: {{{HomeFolder='C:/Windows/Appl/'}}} results in a string holding the path. === Numeric Values === An entry like: {{{FormSize=300 400}}} results in a two-element-vector "!FormSize" holding two integers. === References === Furthermore, an entry like: {{{LogFolder='{"HomeFolder}Logsfiles/'}}} is treated in a special way: the name between the curlies is taken as the name of an already defined value. It is then replaced by the value of that entry. == Example == === Creating an Instance === After creating an instance from the class: {{{MyIni←⎕New #.IniClass (,⊂'C:/Appl/Example.ini')}}} === Accessing Data with the "Get" method === you can get all information you are interested in by calling the method "Get". Note that names are '''not''' case sensitive. Given this file "Example.ini": |

That means you can access values by indexing.

The "Save" method '''might''' be useful to initialise an INI file. === Check Keys before indexing === Note that using indexing, there is no default. That means that specifying an unknown value leads to an error. There are two ways to escape this problem: {{{ MyIni.Exist 'General:Unknown' 0 MyIni.Default← ¯1 ¯1 MyIni[⊂'General:Unknown'] ¯1 ¯1 MyIni[⊂'General:Unknown']←200 MyIni[⊂'General:Unknown'] 200 }}} ||Original author:||KaiJaeger|| ||Responsible:||KaiJaeger|| ||Email:||kai@aplteam.com|| ||Current state:||1.1|| Goto the IniFileDownloadPage == Creating an INI file == |
