Along the same lines: you may write a short script that converts the ini
file into R code that can be sourced.
>From your example, you can generate the following R code:
Section1 <- list()
Section1['var1'] <- value1
Section1['var2'] <- value2
Section2 <- list()
Section2['A'] <- value3
Section2['B'] <- value4
with the following awk script (using awk -F'=' -f conv.awk example.ini >
example.R)
### conv.awk
$1 ~ /\[/ { gsub(/[\[\]]/,""); # remove the brackets
listname = $1;
print $1 " <- list()";
next }
{ print listname "['" $1 "'] <- " $2 }
(I know, it looks cryptic... so I am shooting myself in the foot after
claiming that awk scripts are typically quite readable ;-)
