AnyDat...t::Ini(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, gather round — this is AnyData::Format::Ini, and she's your girl for tiedhash & DBI/SQL access to ini files. yes. that combo. slay.

so this is the AnyData::Format::Ini(3pm) page, from the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the internet 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

two whole ways to do this, pick your fighter 🫶

use AnyData;
my $table = adHash( 'Ini', $filename,'r',$flags );
while (my $row = each %$table) {
    print $row->{name},"\n" if $row->{country} =~ /us|mx|ca/;
}
# ... other tied hash operations

OR

use DBI
my $dbh = DBI->connect('dbi:AnyData:');
$dbh->func('table1','Init', $filename,$flags,'ad_catalog');
my $hits = $dbh->selectall_arrayref( qq{
    SELECT name FROM table1 WHERE country = 'us'
});
# ... other DBI/SQL operations

yes the first one is a tied hash moment and the second is a full DBI/SQL moment, and honestly? iconic. pick whichever one matches your vibe 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so what is this? it's a parser for simple name=value style Ini files. that's the whole thing. simple, clean, does what it says.

and lowkey, heads up: soon it will also handle files with sections. right now? not yet. she's growing. 🦋

also, fr fr, please go read the docs for AnyData.pm and DBD::AnyData.pm for the further details — they've got the rest of the lore, this page is just the lil intro. 📚
