Constructor Details

#initialize(config_file = nil, separator = '=', comments = ['#', ';']) ⇒ ParseConfig

Initialize the class with the path to the ‘config_file’ The class objects are dynamically generated by the name of the ‘param’ in the config file. Therefore, if the config file is ‘param = value’ then the itializer will eval “@param = value”

Instance Method Details

#[](param) ⇒ Object

This method is a shortcut to accessing the @params variable

# File 'lib/parseconfig.rb', line 120

def [](param)
  params[param]
end

#add(param_name, value, override = false) ⇒ Object

This method adds an element to the config object (not the config file) By adding a Hash, you create a new group

#add_to_group(group, param_name, value) ⇒ Object

end

#eql?(other) ⇒ Boolean Also known as: ==

Public: Compare this ParseConfig to some other ParseConfig. For two config to be equivalent, they must have the same sections with the same parameters

other - The other ParseConfig.

Returns true if ParseConfig are equivalent and false if they differ.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

def get_groups
  groups
end

#get_params ⇒ Object

This method returns all parameters/groups defined in a config file.

126
127
 
# File 'lib/parseconfig.rb', line 125

def get_params
  params.keys
end

#get_value(param) ⇒ Object

This method will provide the value held by the object “@param” where “@param” is actually the name of the param in the config file.

DEPRECATED - will be removed in future versions

  params[param]
end

#import_config ⇒ Object

Import data from the config to our config object.
