Description | |
Opens a config file.
If the file already exists, its contents
are parsed and available for extracting by the $config.read() function. <filename> may be an absolute path or a relative path: if a relative path is used, KVIrc will complete it with a local kvirc directory suitable for writing script config files. If the config file doesn't exist, it is opened as empty config file. Flags can contain a combination of letters 'r' and 'w'. If only 'r' is specified, the config file is opened in "read-only" mode: no changes will be written to disk. If only 'w' is specified, the config file is opened in "write-only" mode: the contents of the file on disk are not readed. If <flags> are not specified then 'rw' is assumed. The function returns an identifier for the open config file. This identifier is a mandatory parameter in all the other config.* functions and commands. The config section is set to the default section name: you can change it by using config.setsection. After you have finished using the file, don't forget to call config.close! KVIrc tries to not open a config file twice: if the file was already opened then the identifier of the open file is returned. You can check if a config file is already open by using the $config.id() function. |
