[Lcd4linux-devel] cfg() new feature

[Michael R. <re...@eu...>]

Hi development team,

this is the first post to lcd4linux-devel. Hope you all arrived here. 
Just if you forgot, a CC'ed lcd4linux-users, too.

I wanted to let you know that I just extended the config file parser, so 
that "groups" are possible.

the syntax is:

same as ever:
key "value"

new:

group anyname {
     subkey "subvalue"
}

or even:

Layout "LargeScreen" {
     Display "TheBigOne" {
	Port "/dev/tts/0"
	Speed 2400
     }
}


The values are accessed like this:

"key" returns "value" as ever
"group:anyname.subkey" returns "subvalue"
"Layout:LargeScreen.Display:TheBigOne.Port" returns "/dev/tts/0"

You see, the ':' connects the two group specifiers, and the '.' connects 
sub-keys and/or sub-groups


This will bee needed for the new "widgets" which are next on my ToDo-List.


bye, Michael
