Txt file as config file [closed]

Question

I found application that use .txt files as config files.

The Files looks like

[[plugin.save]]=[[Save]]

how do I use it in C#?

how can I read The file to my application to use Values in [] as config?

Answer 1

You have to read it as a regular file. Reading it use Dictionary to store values. Example code:

        Dictionary<string, string> configuration = new Dictionary<string, string>();

        Regex r = new Regex(@"\[\[(\w+)\]\]=\[\[(\w+)\]\]");

        string[] configArray = {"[[param1]]=[[Value1]]", "[[param2]]=[[Value2]]"};// File.ReadAllLines("some.txt");

        foreach (string config in configArray)
        {
             Match m = r.Match(config);
            configuration.Add(m.Groups[1].Value, m.Groups[2].Value);
        }

Please note to check for possible null values. Note also that regex expression should be different if config values can contain for example spaces.

Answer 2

Just use:

var config = File.ReadAllLines(FileLocation)

And then parse it with the

String.Split()

Might use regex as well.
