blank line after the last key?

[Wilson Chan]

well, here is my ini:

[sectionA]
key1=value1
key2=value2

[sectionB]
someKey=someValue

then I set a non-exist key to sectionA:
config.set("key3", "value3")

becomes:

[sectionA]
key1=value1
key2=value2
key3=value3
[sectionB]
someKey=someValue

where is my blank line?

[Wilson Chan]

sorry, it becomes:

[sectionA]
key1=value1
key2=value2

key3=value3
[sectionB]
someKey=someValue

but still, it is not so satisfactory, I want it like this:

[sectionA]
key1=value1
key2=value2
key3=value3

[sectionB]
someKey=someValue

could it be done through Nini?

[Brent R. Matzelle]

No, not at this time.  The parser preserves empty lines so if you add a new key it will naturally add your new key after the last empty line. 

I'll admit that it can look a little ugly.  I suppose that with a future version to beautify the code that I could append new keys before empty lines rather than after. 

[Wilson Chan]

I think that it is not difficult to implement:)

I would like to see that too =)

[Jason G, Dove]

It takes an additional 3 lines of code to make Nini work the way described above.

Granted, all whitespace is ignored (except for a single line after every section), but if you want the separation that badly, I think it would make more sense to just make another section.

I am using Nini.dll in an application and have the same request.  Has anyone ever implemented this?  I know it is just for beautification purposes, but still it is desirable.

Thank you for any help or insight on what I can modify to accomplish this.

Thank you.
