Ok,I've looked at the packages google and hackage found (ini, hsini & ConfigFile), and can't use any of them for dealing with the ini files I'm being handed.
The problem is they all parse the config file into Maps, and that doesn't seem to be an option. I need lists, because I have multiple sections with the same name that turn into a list of objects, as well as sections that can have multiple options with the same name that turn into multiple objects.
Any chance I overlooked a parser? Or maybe some parsing options in ConfigFile?
Any other advice on a library to do this?
As the author of `hsini` I wouldn't mind if you created a bug report, explain the format you have (ideally you attach an example). Of course I can't promise any ETA, or even that it'll ever be done (you know how it's with FLOSS). I've pretty much used the "standard" described in the [INI article on Wikpedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INI_file) and then picked the pieces I think make sense and have use for myself. /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus Finagle's Fourth Law: Once a job is fouled up, anything done to improve it only makes it worse.
