BashConf

This repository contains text format parsers written in Bash which are particularly useful for configurations, for example in build scripts.

INI

The INI parser has the following usage pattern:

./ini.sh <action> [action-arg] <input-file>

All actions except --help support the argument -o <path> or the alternative --output <path> which tells where to write the result. If the no output path is given, stdout is used.

-l or --list-sections

List all sections in the file, one item per line. This action does not need any specialized arguments.

./ini.sh --list-sections configuration.ini -o sections.txt

-f or --list-fields

List all fields within a section. This action requires the name of the section of which to get the fields.

./ini.sh --list-fields Arguments configuration.ini -o fields.txt

-g, --get or --get-value

Returns the value identified right after the action in the format of <section>:<key>. An example for it is:

./ini.sh --get-value General:Name configuration.ini -o name.txt
