iniobj=new("inifile"[,filename$])
This class manages sections and items in a text file in "ini" format, where sections in the file have a [name] header, and items are stored in name=value lines. The ini file format is common in many applications, including UnForm. Both the uf100d.ini and ufparam.txt file use this format.
If filename$ does not exist and not null, it is interpreted as a string version of INI file content. It must have headers and name=value pairs under those headers. You can use \n sequences to represent line feeds, and \\ to represent backslashes.
If filename$ is not provided, a temporary file is created that is erased when the object is destroyed.
Properties
content$ is the read-only content of the entire file.
|
filename$ is the read-only name of the file being managed.
