Example

# Comments are ignored
; This is also a comment
host = test.com
host_id=55331
server_threshold=2.5
log_file = /tmp/production.log
# comments inside with a new line
verbose = true
silence = false
test_mode = on
debug_mode = off
notifications = yes
production = no

How to use

• cd to the root forlder
• run irb
• require library, create object with proper file path

require './config_parser'
parser = ConfigParser.new './my-config.cfg'
configuration = parser.configure

An object with parsed options is created

configuration.verbose    => true       # boolean
configuration.debug_mode => false      # boolean
configuration.host       => 'test.com' # string
configuration.host_id    => 55331      # integer
configuration.server_threshold => 2.5  # double
