Subject: Bug in comments
Hi, i have this ini file: ------------------------- [Main] City=Havirov # This is city [Other] # This is other section Hi=ahoj ------------------------- When i want read type 'Hi' in section 'Other' it was report error. There is error in comment above section name.
This is not a bug. Your line [Other] # This is other section is not valid, because it does not match one of the allowed patterns. Comment may only exist on a line by themselves. Whitespace preceeding the comment is allowed. The format of the INI file is described in the POD. The error is by design. This allows RHS values for parameters to contain any characters (including comment characters). e.g. [Section] Parameter=My value contains a semicolon; but it's still valid

Yes, this is documented. You can't have a comment on the same line as a configuration line. Comments must start their own line. - -- Oh I have slipped the surly bonds of earth And danced the sky on laughter-silvered wings --High Flight (John Gillespie Magee) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/0OSjXP03+sx4yJMRAjEsAKDf7OIv1VGyIR72KS4222W4Vb2beQCcCOCI VBuGqKul76K566a02oI4z1c= =jyPr -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
