# This is my first "Better Configuration File" test configuration file. = /var/www/no-ssl/html/Public/Content/Better-Configuration-File.conf # My new "Better Configuration File" format allows comment lines # and blank lines to be included in a configuration file # at any point including ahead of any of the parameters, Version = 1 # It also allows leading and trailing spaces in the lines with # configuration data. # I got it all from Perl Cookbook 8.16 Reading Configuration files, # 5.5 printing a Hash and 5.4 Traversing a Hash and I am creating # this file before the program! Author = Lawrence A. Murakami # O.K. I am testing a value that includes spaces! Really readable = parameter and value # with an inlne comment! More = Value1 # and More = value2 # And above I tested two values for the same key. MultiLine = stuff from the first line and more stuff on a second line # Another test is the above that shows that a # line that is not a comment and does not include an equal sign # results in a Name with an empty value and shows that blanks # are allowed in the keys for Better Configuration Values. z Last parameter = Last value # The above may sort last even if not last in the file. Equal signs = = = = # I keep testing! I found that you can have a null name as well as # a null value and decided to load the null name with the file name. # I also found that the '=' character that separates a name from a value # can be in a value. The '=' character cannot be in the name and a # leading '=' character could be used in an alternate comment character # but will result in an empty name hash entry. A final '=' character # on the last line results in an empty name and value hash entry. # And one more test along with a program change. After these comments # with a program change and a new terminating key, I can add more to # the file. ********** z End of Basic Better Configuration paramters ********** # The following will not override above settings (once the change is complete) = After the "End of Basic Better Configuration File paramters". Version = Override Author = No longer able to control programming and documentation urges. z Last parameter = (Basic anyway) appeared earlier in the file.
