Constructor Details

#initialize(content = nil, opts = {}) ⇒ IniFile

Public: Create a new INI file from the given content String which contains the INI file lines. If the content are omitted, then the :filename option is used to read in the content of the INI file. If neither the content for a filename is provided then an empty INI file is created.

content - The String containing the INI file contents opts - The Hash of options (default: {})

:comment   - String containing the comment character(s)
:parameter - String used to separate parameter and value
:encoding  - Encoding String for reading / writing (Ruby 1.9)
:escape    - Boolean used to control character escaping
:default   - The String name of the default global section
:filename  - The filename as a String

Examples

IniFile.new
#=> an empty IniFile instance

IniFile.new( "[global]\nfoo=bar" )
#=> an IniFile instance

IniFile.new( :filename => 'file.ini', :encoding => 'UTF-8' )
#=> an IniFile instance

IniFile.new( "[global]\nfoo=bar", :comment => '#' )
#=> an IniFile instance
