Read a configuration file
Read a configuration file is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.
The task is to read a configuration file in standard configuration file, and set variables accordingly. For this task, we have a configuration file as follows:
# This is a configuration file in standard configuration file format # # Lines that begin with a hash symbol or semicolon are treated as # comments and will be ignored # This is the fullname parameter FULLNAME Foo Barber # This is a favourite fruit FAVOURITEFRUIT banana # This is a boolean that should be set NEEDSPEELING # This boolean is commented out ; SEEDSREMOVED
For the task we need to set four variables according to the configuration entries as follows:
- fullname = Foo Barber
- favouritefruit = banana
- needpeeling = true
- seedsremoved = false
