Hi,

I'm working on a program that loads a configuration file and then compares it to a file created by the user. An example:

This is what the configuration file says, it's basically a template for the user to work with.

[ActionsMO3]

0=...

(...)

13=Begin autocreate of (House) ...,0,2,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,Causes the specified House to create teams as it sees fit (IQ>2).,0,1,13

(...)

145=...

And then there are other things like

[ParamTypes] and [EventsMO3] that need to be handled seperatly.

The program should look for these headers in the INI file then load everything after it until the next header.

It should ignore the text at the start, and everything after the zero's.

Does someone know how to create a method that loads everything this way?

If anyone wants to help me with the total program, that would be supreme awesomeness.

Here is a simple approach that reads lines on a text file.

// load a "config.txt" file, read all it's lines and put in an array called strLines.
String[] strLines = loadStrings("config.txt");
for (int i = 0; i < strLines.length; i++) {
// for each line it will sepparate the values using the "=" delimiter, and send it into another array called strValue.
String[] strValue = split(strLines[i], "=");
// let's suppose there was only one line, and it's String is "ScreenRes=800x600"
if (strValue.length > 0) {
// strValue[0] is "ScreenRes", strValue[1] is "800x600", the delimiter "=" is ignored
screenRes = split(strValue[1], "x");
screenResX = int(screenRes[0]); // screenRes[0] is "800", delimiter "x" is ignored
screenResY = int(screenRes[1]); // screenRes[1] is "600", delimiter "x" is ignored
}
}
