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
