ini.el

Author Daniel Ness

About

This is a library with which to handle INI style configuration files with Emacs Lisp. It has been developed as part of a larger project that I am currently working on, as a simple form of configuration persistence.

Features

• Conversion of INI-format to Elisp Association Lists
• Conversion of an Association List to INI-format string

Usage

(require 'ini.el)

(let ((fname "/path/to/file.ini"))

  ;; To parse an ini file
  (setq txt
    (with-temp-buffer
      (insert-file-contents "/path/to/file.ini")
      (buffer-string)))
  (setq alist (ini-decode txt))

  ;; To write to an ini file
  (with-temp-buffer
    (let ((txt (ini-encode alist)))
      (insert txt)
      (append-to-file (beginning-of-buffer) (end-of-buffer) "/path/to/other/file.ini"))))
