| Description: |
First off, the "Category" list is missing "inifile". I'm attaching a patch to allow section keys that have no assigned value, not even an empty value which is done by doing "key=". This will allow a call to the ::get function to successfully return key "C" in the following example section: [dummy] A=first B= C A simple example of where this enhancement comes into play is if you wanted to use a section to hold a simple list of names, for example a list of valid file suffixes: [suffix_list] .txt .tcl .cxx The ::value function was modified to return the default value for keys that exist but have no assignment. This allows distinguishing the case where a key exists and is assigned an empty value versus a key that has no assignment. I've updated the test to cover this new capability. The patch was made against version 1.13 of ini.tcl and includes the following file updates: ini.tcl inifile.test pkgIndex.tcl test.ini | |||
