Talk:Read a configuration file

current task

Ok, so we currently have a task here without any implementation. But I find it odd that we are supposed to set a value based on the contents of a comment in a config file. In properly factored code I would imagine that either [a] you set the defaults before the config file is read, and/or [b] you explicitly declare non-false boolean values. (I am also a bit wary about the use of the term "standard" in that config file's comment.) --Rdm 22:28, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Java properties files are closer to a de facto "standard", especially if you ignore the property substitution feature. Failing that, there's the old INI format. –Donal Fellows 22:59, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
