####INI Files
header=leheader
; this is a comment
[database]
user=dbuser
password=abc123
host=localhost
; this is another comment
[foobarness]
foo=bar,foo
foobar=barfoo
using ConfParser
conf = ConfParse("confs/config.ini")
parse_conf!(conf)
# get and store config parameters
user = retrieve(conf, "database", "user")
password = retrieve(conf, "database", "password")
host = retrieve(conf, "database", "host")
# replace config paramater
commit!(conf, "database", "user", "newuser")
# erase a config block
erase!(conf, "foobarness")
# save to another file
save!(conf, "testout.ini")####HTTP Files
# this is a comment
email:[email protected]
password:qwerty
# this is another comment
url:julialang.org
foobars:foo,bar,snafu
using ConfParser
conf = ConfParse("confs/config.http")
parse_conf!(conf)
# get and store config parameters
email = retrieve(conf, "email")
password = retrieve(conf, "password")
foobars = retrieve(conf, "foobars")
# modify config parameter
commit!(conf, "email", "[email protected]")
# save changes
save!(conf)####Simple Files

protocol kreberos
port 6643
user root
# this is another comment
foobar barfoo
using ConfParser
conf = ConfParse("confs/config.simple")
parse_conf!(conf)
# store config items in vars
protocol = retrieve(conf, "protocol")
port = retrieve(conf, "port")
user = retrieve(conf, "user")
# remove config parameter
erase!(conf, "protocol")
# generate new config from data
save!(conf, "outconf.simple")=======
