Reading properties file

[Ashok4u]

I have a requirement to read a properties file(key, value pair) and while reading need to ignore comments.

Please provide sample code.

Thanks.

Ashok.

Here is my sample code. i dont no whether it's right approach.

$fileVariableName = FileOpen("Sample.txt", 0)

If $fileVariableName = -1 Then

MsgBox(0,"Failure","Failed to open file")

Exit

EndIf

While 1

$lineVariableName = FileReadLine($fileVariableName)

If @error = -1 Then ExitLoop

$result = StringInStr($lineVariableName, "=")

$len = StringLen($lineVariableName)

$left = StringLeft($lineVariableName, $result - 1)

If StringLen($left) > 0 Then

ConsoleWrite("" &$left )

$leftlen = StringLen($left)

$right = StringRight($lineVariableName, $len - $leftlen - 1)

ConsoleWrite(" -------- " &$right & @CRLF)

EndIf

WEnd

FileClose($fileVariableName)

Sample.txt:

abc=2

asdfasdf=192.11.13.4

asdfasdf=dc=vsp

aasssss=symavaya.dr.com

ttttttt=1

#

# limited set of administration pages.

is it an Ini file you are working with?, if it is, why not just use the File, Ini... functions?

here is a nicer way to handle just key=value pairs

$sRawData = FileRead("filename")
$asData = StringSplit($sRawData , @CRLF , 3)
For $i in $asData
    If StringLeft($i,1) = '#' Or $i = '' Or Not StringInStr($i,'=') Then ContinueLoop
    $key = StringLeft($i,StringInStr($i, '=') - 1)
    $value = StringTrimLeft($i,StringInStr($i, '='))
    ;do what ever you want with each key and value here
