Reading
This system differs in use quite significantly from dini, but with good reason. In dini you open a file, search for a single value, read that value, close the file and repeat. Imagine this code:
pawn Код:
gA = dini_Get("myini.ini", "c");
gB = dini_Get("myini.ini", "b");
gC = dini_Get("myini.ini", "a");
And this ini file:
Код:
a = 10
b = 67
c = 42
If you can't tell that will open and close the file 3 times and read 6 lines in, just for 3 values - surely you should just open the file once and read 3 lines? This is the equivalent y_ini code:
pawn Код:
INI:myini[](name[], value[])
{
INI_String("a", gA);
INI_String("b", gB);
INI_String("c", gC);
}
The code is a little longer, but it's much faster, only reading the file once. Esentially y_ini uses callbacks to load files instead of explicitly reading individual values, which means files are read in the order they are stored. I intend to add the option to load individual values later, but there's rarely any need if you do things properly - read a file and get the data, it's not going to change unless you change it.
