inifile {raster} | R Documentation

## Read a .ini file

### Description

This function reads `'.ini'` files. These are text file databases that are organized in [sections] containing pairs of "name = value".

### Usage

    readIniFile(filename, token='=', commenttoken=';', aslist=FALSE, case)

### Arguments

`filename` | Character. Filename of the .ini file
`token` | Character. The character that separates the "name" (variable name) from the "value"
`commenttoken` | Character. This token and everything that follows on the same line is considered a 'comment' that is not for machine consumption and is ignored in processing
`aslist` | Logical. Should the values be returned as a list
`case` | Optional. Function that operates on the text, such as `toupper` or `tolower`

### Details

This function allows for using inistrings that have "=" as part of a value (but the token cannot be part of the 'name' of a variable!). Sections can be missing.

### Value

A n*3 matrix of characters with columns: section, name, value; or a list if `aslist=TRUE`.
