#20 IConfig.GetString(string, string) returns invalid content

[Olli-Pekka Isola]

Hi,

An example INI file contains a row:

[section]
key="name" <email-address@domain>

I get name when I read the value of the key "key" with
GetString(string, string) method. The
GetPrivateProfileString function of Windows API returns
full line with quotes and other special characters,
ie. "name" <email-address@domain>.

I consider this behavior as a bug.

I call GetString after I have merged three sources (two
INI-files plus command line arguments). I haven't tested
wether this function works as expected without merge.

A short introduction to the problem:

Dim iniSource1 As Nini.Config.IniConfigSource
Dim iniSource2 As Nini.Config.IniConfigSource
Dim cliSource As Nini.Config.ArgvConfigSource

iniSource1 = New Nini.Config.IniConfigSource
(some_path_1)
' adding aliases here

iniSource2 = New Nini.Config.IniConfigSource
(some_path_2)
' adding aliases here

cliSource = New Nini.Config.ArgvConfigSource
(cliArgumentsArray)
' adding switches here

iniSource1.Merge(iniSource2)
iniSource1.Merge(cliSource)

' this line shows name, NOT "name" <email-
address@domain> as it should
Console.WriteLine(iniSource1.Configs
("section").GetString("key", default_recipient_spec))

I studied your problem and came to the conclusion that you
are right. The behavior with quotes was added because of
the Samba-style files. I will turn off this behavior by
default. Thanks very much for your contribution.

Thanks for your quick response! I will monitor Nini project for
the next publicly available release.
