Detailed Description

UiGuiIniFileParser is a simple ini file format parser.

These ini files need to have key-value pairs in the style "keyname=keyvalue". Groups can be defined by writing the groupname in the style [groupname] before some key-value pairs.

The reason why I use my own class instead of QSettings is mainly, that QSettings always internally sorts the groups alphabetically and also rewrites a settings file sorted. Very annoying for me.

Member Function Documentation

QStringList UiGuiIniFileParser::childGroups ( )

Returns the group/section names in the same order as they occurr in the ini file as QStringList.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

void UiGuiIniFileParser::parseIniFile ( ) [private]

Parses the ini file and stores the key value pairs in the internal vectors keys and values.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

QVariant UiGuiIniFileParser::value	(	const QString &	keyName,
		const QString &	defaultValue = `""`
	)

Returns the value of the defined keyName as QVariant.

The keyName is assembled by a section name, a slash and the key name itself. For example if you wish to access the value of the following setting: [NiceSection]niceKeyName=2 you would have to call value("NiceSection/niceKeyName").
