example-configfile.ini An example configuration file. Note that sections and variables are supported, as well as allowing for runtime substitution of variable values. ConfigFile supports multiple substitutions on the same line, nested substitutions, and the ability to set default rules. Notice how in this example NIH.workdir, TIGR.workdir and TIGR.updated.workdir are all set to the same rule, but in the output the substitutions evaluate differently. This is possible because while the default rule is written in the topmost section, the rules are evaluated using the most local values of ORG and {{ORG}}_DIR relative to the child where the rule is referenced. ; $Id: example-configfile.ini,v 1.1 2005/07/29 02:55:16 mschatz Exp $ ; Test config to demonstrate config file parsing APP_NAME=test ; Anything after ; is ignored APP_VERSION=1.0 PATH={{APP_NAME}}/{{APP_VERSION}} ; Do multiple substitutions on ; the same line ORG=DEFAULT ; So default rule will resolve DEFAULT_DIR=DEFAULT_DIR ; DEFAULTWORKDIR={{{{ORG}}_DIR}}/work/{{PATH}} ; Provide a default rule ; With nested resolution [NIH] ; NIH Overrides for default rule ORG=NIH NIH_DIR=/some/other/path/nih/dir WORKDIR={{DEFAULTWORKDIR}} [TIGR] ; These values wont collide ORG=TIGR ; since they are in a different TIGR_DIR=/tigr/dir ; scope WORKDIR= {{DEFAULTWORKDIR}} OTHERFLAG=--resolve ; Or add a new variable [TIGR.updated] ; Different Scope again APP_NAME=updated.test TIGR_DIR=/tigr/new/dir WORKDIR = {{DEFAULTWORKDIR}} ; Strips unneeded whitespace [BAD] ;BAD_REFERENCE={{BAD_REFERENCE}}/other/ ;BAD_SUBSTITUTION=}}{{ ;=Bad Variable Name ;[ ] ; Bad Section Name ;[BAD] ; Can't have duplicate sections
