Ryan Fox created CONFIGURATION-597:
--------------------------------------
Summary: Periods in INI file keys not parsed correctly
Key: CONFIGURATION-597
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-597
Project: Commons Configuration
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.10
Reporter: Ryan Fox
Priority: Minor
I am using HierarchicalINIConfiguration. When I try to parse an INI file with
periods in the key definitions, something goes wrong, and the periods are
parsed incorrectly. For example, my INI file looks like
[foods]
breakfast.drink=oj
lunch.drink=milk
dinner.drink=beer
And my java code looks like
File configFile = new File("path/to/the/file.ini");
HierarchicalINIConfiguration config = new
HierarchichalINIConfiguration(configFile);
config.getSection("foods").getString("breakfast.drink", null); // null
config.getSection("foods").getString("breakfast..drink", null); // "oj"
Note the double period in the second one. Is this something I'm doing wrong,
or is there a bug in the parser? Are periods such as this even allowed in INI
files? I can't find anything explicitly saying either way.
