How to parse ini to struct if data within [brackets] is variable? about config HOT 8 CLOSED

Well, that was part of the issue. I was not sure how to get the [section] as a variable using this package. The way I ended up doing it was rclone was reading their config using the goconfig package which had a function called GetSectionList() which would return a list of each of the [sections] values as string, then using that list of sections I could use GetSection() which returned a map[string]string of each key/value within the [section], so then I just stored those within a struct.

It would be much cleaner/nicer to use this package as I could directly get config.String(section.type) (or client_id, etc) but I was not sure how to get the actual [section] data as a variable.

Oo, why use this?

Well, I was going to use it to parse the config file for RClone backup tool's config data, but instead I just ended up looking through their code to see how they were getting the data themselves and did it using the same method they did. I don't really like the method as much, but it worked, so it's ok, no need for this question anymore.

If you know the variable name when you use it. Can be taken directly like this:

Remote.Type = config.String("VARNAME.type")
Remote.ClientId = config.String("VARNAME.client_id")
...

OO, Very sorry this library can not meet your needs.

No worries at all. I use this for several other projects and it works awesome. :D 👍

Thanks you.
If you just want to use INI for simple config management, You can look at my another library https://github.com/gookit/ini

// get all section names
names := ini.SectionKeys(false)

from config.

Oh, interesting, that might do just what I need then. I will have to try it out. Thanks. 👍
