tiny-ini-file-class

A simple tiny class on C# learn your program to read/write ini files..

Example usage #1 (write):

IniFile file = new IniFile("settings.ini");
            
file.Write("hello", "world", "main");
file.Write("2020", "Happy New Year!", "main");

This code creates file (settings.ini), and creates 2 lines under block [main]

[main]
hello=world
2020=Happy New Year!

Example usage #2 (read):

In file settings.ini:

[main]
hello=world
2020=Happy New Year!

Write this code:

IniFile file = new IniFile("settings.ini");

if(file.KeyExists("2020", "main"))
     Console.WriteLine(file.Read("2020", "main"));

This code write in console Happy New Year!

Example usage #3 (delete key):

Also, you can delete all line (key && value), for example:

IniFile file = new IniFile("settings.ini");

if(file.KeyExists("hello", "main"))
     file.DeleteKey("hello", "main");

File settings.ini before operation

[main]
hello=world
2020=Happy New Year!

File settings.ini after operation

[main]
2020=Happy New Year!

Example usage #4 (delete section):

Also, you can delete all values in section (block), for example:

IniFile file = new IniFile("settings.ini");

file.DeleteSection("main");

File settings.ini before operation

; Comment
; Comment2
[main]
hello=world
2020=Happy New Year!

File settings.ini after operation (all block main has been removed)

; Comment
; Comment2

Example usage #5 (file access):

Default access for file - it's a Read And Write, but you can set access manually in code to ReadOnly or WriteOnly. For example, if try write to file without rules, you can't do it and program was generated a new exceprion.

// read & write (default access)
IniFile fileFullAccess = new IniFile("settings.ini", FileAccess.ReadWrite);

// only read access
IniFile fileReadOnlyAccess = new IniFile("settings.ini", FileAccess.Read);

// only write access
IniFile fileWriteOnlyAccess = new IniFile("settings.ini", FileAccess.Write);

//exception on write with Readonly access
fileReadOnlyAccess.Write("hello", "world1", "main");

That`s all! Thanks for reading!
