rb-parseconfig

DESCRIPTION:

rb-parseconfig is a Ruby class written to parse simple configuration files in the format of ‘param = value’. The key benefit is that your ruby scripts can use the same configuration files of most unix/linux applications.

FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

Parsing of simple configuration files (not Ruby specific). Allows ruby applications as well as Bash Init scripts to use the same config.

Problem: Currently single quotes are stripped… therefore, values with a single quote are not possible.

SYNOPSIS:

require('rubygems')
require('parseconfig')
config = ParseConfig.new('/path/to/config/file')
puts config['log_file']
puts config['pid_file']
...

REQUIREMENTS:

* Ruby (Developed on 1.8.6)
* RubyGems

INSTALL:

sudo gem install parseconfig
