two_array - Load and save TCL arrays
package require twoArray ?1.0?
two_arrray load|save fileName arrayName ?force?
Load and save
TCL arrays to/from a file. This is very useful for simple configuration
files: set elements of an array and save/load it. It does not use Tcl's
list formating rules, which might be an advantage or not.
two_array
takes all of the TCL array(n)
command and the following two additional
commands to load/save an array:
two_array load fileName arrayName ?force?
- Open file fileName and fill array arrayName with the content. If force
(a TCL_BOOLEAN value) is set to true then the file is required to exist,
or the program will print an error message and exit.
two_array save fileName arrayName
- Save array arrayName to file fileName.
Array files are coded
as lines of key:value pairs. key and value are taken almost literally
from the array except for some character replacements:
<NL> - replaced by
'
%n'.
: - replaced by '
%d'.
% - replaced by '
%p'.
