cIniFile help? - bearbin - 04-05-2013
Does anyone know if you can list the keys inside a section of an ini file using cIniFile? If so, how could you do it?
RE: cIniFile help? - NiLSPACE - 04-05-2013
Maybe this helps: https://code.google.com/p/mc-server/source/browse/trunk/MCServer/Plugins/Core/listgroups.lua?spec=svn1354&r=1354 it shows a list of groups.
RE: cIniFile help? - bearbin - 04-05-2013
Ok, thanks. It relies on that key numbers are just counting up from 0, instead of random numbers
(the dics didn't say what the key number was).

Yeah, I really hate that cIniFile interface. But what can I do, if I rewrite everything I hate, there'd be nothing left
Anyway, feel free to enhance the docs, it's a wiki, after all. I'm trying, from time to time - at least the hook handlers are more or less documented now, but there's just too many classes with too many changes in them.
RE: cIniFile help? - bearbin - 04-06-2013
Maybe we should build a new IniFile class? Or maybe we could even get a nice YAML parser (you can have more nesting) and deprecate the INI files, but keep IniFile in there for the old plugins.

An XML parser is planned in the API:

Later on...

Seems sensible
RE: cIniFile help? - NiLSPACE - 04-06-2013
how to insert multiple things in a value? i did this:
Block:SetValue( KeyName, "I", Player:GetName() .. "," .. "Placed" .. "," .. os.date() .. "," .. Player:GetWorld():GetBlock(X, Y, Z) .. "," .. Player:GetWorld():GetBlockMeta(X, Y, Z) )to store the data and then this:
Player,Broken,Date,BlockID,BlockMeta = Block:GetValue(KeyName, "I")to get the info but "Player" gets all the data "I" has stored in an ini file and "Broken" gets everything "KeyName" has.

IDK, simplest way is to do what I do, use my split function:
Code:
function split(string, pattern)
-- Define variables.
local t = {} -- NOTE: use {n = 0} in Lua-5.0
local fpat = "(.-)" .. pattern
local last_end = 1
local s, e, cap = string:find(fpat, 1)
-- Split the string.
while s do
if s ~= 1 or cap ~= "" then
table.insert(t,cap)
end
last_end = e+1
s, e, cap = string:find(fpat, last_end)
end
if last_end <= #string then
cap = string:sub(last_end)
table.insert(t, cap)
end
-- Return the table.
return t
endCall it with:
Code:
Player = split(Block:GetValue(KeyName, "I"), ",")The code is free to use for whatever you like.
RE: cIniFile help? - NiLSPACE - 04-06-2013
and how can i then add something to Broken, Date, BlockID and BlockMeta with that function? i'm not realy good with tables :S
