    Get code from GitHub

    Read the key, element pairs from a java properties file

    while natural_line:
        # skip blank lines and comment lines, process only valid logical lines
        if natural_line.strip() and COMMENT_LINE.match(natural_line) is None:
            logical_line = natural_line.lstrip().rstrip(LINE_BREAKS)
            # remove multi line delim and append adjacent lines
            while MULTI_LINE.match(logical_line): 
                logical_line = logical_line.rstrip()[:-1] + propfile.readline().lstrip().rstrip(LINE_BREAKS)
            pair = SPLIT_DELIM.split(logical_line, 1)
            if len(pair) == 1: pair.append(DEFAULT_ELEMENT)
            pair = [re.sub(VALID_ESC_DELIM, '', item) for item in pair]
            pair = [re.sub(ESCAPED_ESC_DELIM, ESC_DELIM, item) for item in pair]
            pair = [unicode(item, 'unicode_escape') for item in pair] 
            result[pair[0]] = pair[1] # add key, element to result dict
        natural_line = propfile.readline()
    return result
    

    Follows the java properties file format and tested against the Java 6 version of java.util.Properties

    Created for my toddler to play on the laptop and learn alphabets and numbers.

    This was way before tablets and thousands of applications for kids.

    Bare bones single window application that will go full screen and will only respond to alphanumeric key strokes and won't lose focus.

    Get AnyOption from GitHub

    AnyOption is a C++ class for easy parsing of complex commandline options. It also parses options from a rsourcefile in option value pair format.

    AnyOption implements the traditional POSIX style character options ( -n ) as well as the newer GNU style long options ( --name ). Or you can use a simpler long option version ( -name ) by asking to ignore the POSIX style options.

    AnyOption supports the traditional UNIX resourcefile syntax of, any line starting with "#" is a comment and the value pairs use ":" as a delimiter.

    An option which expects a value is considered as an option value pair, while options without a value are considered flags.

    Please read the header file for the documented public interface, and demo.cpp for an example of how easy it is to use AnyOption.

    • July 2001, Original version
    • August 2004, added bug-fixes, and updates send by Michael Peters of Sandia Lab.
    • September 2006, fix from Boyan Asenov for a bug in mixing up option type indexes.
    • July 2011, fix from Min KJ and Costantino G for string allocation.
    • Dec 2011, Moved to Github
