Read the ini file that doesn't have a section?

There is no section in my ini file. It has the following data

com.ibm.rcp.toolbox.admin / toolboxvisibleChild = false
com.ibm.collaboration.realtime.community/defaultAuthType=ST-DOMINO-SSO
com.ibm.collaboration.realtime.brokerbridge / startBroker = false
com.ibm.collaboration.realtime.webapi / startWebContainer = true

I want to use a function.

    [DllImport("kernel32")]
    private static extern int GetPrivateProfileString(string section,
             string key,string def, StringBuilder retVal,
        int size,string filePath);

My problems

  • I cannot name the section name in the function because I do not have
  • If I give the section name null it returns nothing
  • I don't want to use brute force like ReadAllText

Here is the library that the author says supports section keys. I have not tried this library myself.
Or you can just edit the Ini file and add the title / section name at the top right and then delete it once you're done reading.

Using File.ReadLines , and some LINQs are actually not that bad:



var dict = File.ReadLines("config.txt")
               .Where(line => !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(line))
               .Select(line => line.Split(new char[] { '=' }, 2, 0))
               .ToDictionary(parts => parts[0], parts => parts[1]);

var result = dict["com.ibm.rcp.toolbox.admin/toolboxvisibleChild"];
