ini Remove method leaves the key behind

[ixm7]

The ini Remove method deletes the key value but leaves the key behind.

Before the call:
[mySection]
myKey="myValue"

After calling gINIFile.Item("mySection").Remove("myKey"):
[mySection]
myKey

Expected behavior is for myKey to be completely removed.

Hi @ixm7

This is the first I've seen of this (sorry, for some reason the default notification setup on GitHub for owners is only for security alerts ): but I've updated on this repo!) I assume this is still an issue? I'll investigate shortly.

@ixm7 are you sure you have the correct project here? There's no Item method on IINIFile - the code above doesn't seem to be against PeanutButter's INIFile class?

However, if you were doing:

gINIFile["mySection"].Remove("myKey");

you'd be correct that the behavior was to set the key value to null (leaving the key in place, which is valid INI syntax, but, as you say, not expected)

I've just done a release to resolve this (2.0.51) - please update when it suits you (:

You can now do:

gINIFile["mySection"].Remove("myKey");
gINIFile.RemoveValue("mySection", "myKey");
giniFile.RemoveValue("mySection", "myKey", true); // will remove the section too, if it's empty (ie, last value was removed)

All of the above return true when the key was found and removed, false if the key wasn't found.

Thanks for the report.

Thanks!
