  • Parsing modopts.ini

    From Mortifis@VERT/ALLEYCAT to All on Thu Nov 14 11:28:56 2019
    I am trying to read a string from modopts.ini and wanting to split the string filtering out whitespace and then iterating through the string for a match ...

    modopts.ini example:

    [mysection]
    something = bla blah bleh bladdie bluh ble

    my.js

    var mystuff = load({}, 'modopts.ini', 'mysection');

    var stuff = mystuff.something.split((/(\s+)/);


    gives a JS TypeError: mystuff.something is undefined

    What am I doing wrong, please?

    The second argument to load() should be 'modopts.js' there (not modopts.ini). See other modopts examples in exec/*.js.

    Also, you could get a specific value from your 'mysection' (rather than the entire section as an object), like so:

    var stuff = load({}, 'modopts.js', 'mysection', 'something');
