what format is the config file?

[OneCDOnly]

Hi all. :)

I'm hoping someone can please advise of the configuration file format for pyLoad. It's not a format I've seen before.

Example:

version: 2

download - "Download":
	int chunks : "Maximum connections for one download" = 3
	time end_time : "End time" = 0:00
	ip interface : "Download interface to bind (IP Address)" =
	bool ipv6 : "Allow IPv6" = False
	bool limit_speed : "Limit download speed" = False
	int max_downloads : "Maximum parallel downloads" = 3
	int max_speed : "Maximum download speed in KiB/s" = -1
	bool skip_existing : "Skip already existing files" = False
	time start_time : "Start time" = 0:00

general - "General":
	debug;trace;stack debug_level : "Debug level" = trace
	bool debug_mode : "Debug mode" = False

I need to extract specific values from within BASH, so I'm wondering if a parser already exists to read it.

Thank you.

First line is file format version (always 2).
The has file sections, each section line can be parsed using regex (python regex notation) (.+?)\s+-\s+"(.+?)":,
first group in the regex is the section name, group 2 is the section title.

Each section contains configuration line \s*(?P<T>.+?)\s+(?P<N>[^ ]+?)\s*:\s*"(?P<D>.+?)"\s*=\s?(?P<V>.*)
Group T - type (bool, int, ip, time , list of values)
Group N - name
Group D - description
Group V - value

Thanks @GammaC0de , that helps a lot. Appreciate the regexes. 👍🏽

It's a really neat format. I like that it includes the variable type. Did you create it?

No, this was developed many years ago by former pyload maintainers, I fixed some bugs in the parser and created the regexes .
