Configuration Files

Solved!
Go to solution

Hi,

 

I want to use configuration files to define a test script process. Each [section] would be the test and each key would be a parameter. How can I get the INI file to be read if the number of sections/keys are not known?! The reader does not know how many tests [Sections] are inclosed in the INI file and the number of parameters [Keys] can also vary...

 

Thanks for any help...Smiley Happy

Use "get section names" and "get key names" as shown in the snippet belowtest.png

Ok this example was great to grab all the "Keys" and "Sections" is there an easy way to grab all the associated data with the keys/sections?!

 

For example it could be formated in the same way as the 2D array which holds the key names. That way the arrays would be 1:1 (like a LUT)

 

Hope you can help someone Smiley Happy

Its ok. I figured it out. Just pipe the Keys and Sections and put them in a 2d for loop. It generates the data, Smiley Happy

Hi,

 

What about generating configuration files from 2D arrays. Whats the best way to go about it?.

 

For example if I have a 2D array with unlimited rows (ie. [Test n+1]) and each has 4000 parameters (Keys). How can I create a file from the 2d array?.

 

Thanks....Smiley Happy
