MyIni Class

public class MyIni

A configuration class to parse and create a text string resembling the old fashioned INI format, but with support for multiline values.

Do not forget that parsing is a time-consuming task. Keep your parsing to a minimum.

Namespace: VRage.Game.ModAPI.Ingame.Utilities
Assembly: VRage.Game.dll

Example

Using MyIni to deal with CustomData end-user configuration:

The CustomData:

[kernel]  
output=DebugTextPanel  
bootText=  
|-- HAL9000 --  
|Good morning, Dave.  
  

The code:

MyIni _ini = new MyIni();  
IMyTextPanel _outputTextPanel;  
  
public Program()  
{  
    MyIniParseResult result;  
    if (!_ini.TryParse(Me.CustomData, out result)  
    {  
        Echo($"CustomData error:\nLine {result}");  
    }  
  
    // Get the kernel section's output value. If this value is set, the system attempts  
    // to retrieve a text panel with the value set. Otherwise output is ignored.  
    var name = _ini.Get("kernel", "output").ToString();  
    if (name != null)  
    {  
        _outputTextPanel = GridTerminalSystem.GetBlockWithName<IMyTextPanel>(name);  
        if (_outputTextPanel == null)  
            Echo($"No text panel named {name}");  
    }  
  
    // Get the kernel section's boottext value. If no value is given, a default value will be returned.  
    var bootText = _ini.Get("kernel", "bootText").ToString("Kernel is starting up...");  
    _outputTextPanel?.WritePublicText(bootText);  
}  
  
public void Main() {  
    // Do your stuff. Only parse the configuration when you have to.  
}  
  

Using MyIni to deal with internal storage:

MyIni _storage = new MyIni();  
Vector3D _startupPosition;  
bool _hasTarget;  
Vector3D _currentTarget;  
  
public Program()  
{  
    // You only need to parse here in the constructor.  
    if (_ini.TryParse(Storage)  
    {  
        var str = _ini.Get("state", "startupPosition").ToString();  
        Vector3D.TryParse(str, out _startupPosition);  
        str = _ini.Get("state", "currentTarget").ToString();  
        Vector3D.TryParse(str, out _currentTarget);  
        _hasTarget = _ini.Get("state", "hasTarget").ToBoolean();  
    }  
    else  
    {  
        // Set up defaults, the storage is nonexistent or corrupt  
        _startupPosition = Me.CubeGrid.Position;  
    }  
}  
  
public void Save()  
{  
    // You only need to update Storage when the Save method is called.  
    _ini.Set("state", "startupPosition", _startupPosition);  
    _ini.Set("state", "currentTarget", _currentTarget);  
    Storage = _ini.ToString();  
}  
  
public void Main() {  
    // Do your stuff  
}  
  

Remarks

This class is NOT THREAD SAFE as it's optimized for programmable block use.
