So what is INIPlus?
INIPlus is a human-readable document format that combines features of the INI and XML formats. It contains much of the power of XML but retains the simplicity of INI.
The INIPlus format was specifically designed for AMS and will be supported(by me) for that IDE only.
For several years I have wanted the ease of use of ini but the power of XML so I began designing the INIPlus format as well as the code for creating and parsing INIPlus files.
Features of INIPlus...
- Converts to INI format
- Can be created from INI formatted files
- Allows attributes for sections
- Allows attributes for values
- Capable of multi-line value data
- The ability to open and edit multiple files at once (as opposed to XML in AMS)
INIPlus boasts many more functions in AMS than INI.
Functions include...
- The ability to copy sections
- The ability to rename sections
- The ability to create empty sections
- Check for the existence of specific sections and values
- Detailed error reporting (if desired)
- The ability to simply count sections and values
- The ability to read an INIPlus file to a table
With nearly 1200 lines of code in this plugin, I expect a bug or two. Although I have tested each function including forcing errors in them, there is always something that gets overlooked. Please feel free to report bugs and give any suggestions for the plugin or the format.
Enjoy!![]()
