Follow up question to: Q_21898085-Evaluating a text file
Idle Mind,
I have two follow up questions regarding your solution to my original "Evaluating a text file" question.
1. when the value is embedded in two quotation marks I have to remove the quotation marks, eg. image = "my image" -> should become key=image and value=my image
2. there is one complicate parameter added to the possible parameters. This one causes your script to crash. Here is the example:
AUTH= glogin \
auth [ default=ignore ] /lib/security/pam_setpw.so
auth [ success=2 default=ignore ] /lib/security/pam_guest.so
auth [ success=1 new_authtok_reqd=1 default=ignore ] /lib/security/inifile.so try_first_pass \
auth [ success=ok new_authtok_reqd=ok default=die ] /lib/security/pam_smb_auth
auth [ default=ok ] /lib/security/pam_putregis
AUTH_SMB.conf=domain=tm.co
AUTH= glogin \
auth [ default=ignore ] /lib/security/pam_setpw.so
auth [ success=2 default=ignore ] /lib/security/pam_guest.so
auth [ success=1 new_authtok_reqd=1 default=ignore ] /lib/security/inifile.so try_first_pass \
auth [ success=ok new_authtok_reqd=ok default=die ] /lib/security/pam_ldap.so use_first_pass \
auth [ default=ok ] /lib/security/pam_putregis
LDAP.conf=SERVER=ldapsrv DCBASE=dc
What I need out these parameters (and these are actually only 5 parameters) is
key value
AUTH_SMB=domain tm.com
server dc1
backupserver dc2
LDAP.conf=SERVER ldapsrv
DCBASE dc
Could you help me here again?

For (1)...assuming you want to remove quotes on ALL entries:
Change:
inputLine = inputLine.ToLower
To:
inputLine = inputLine.ToLower.Replace(
For (2)...I'll post back later...I'm moving and trying to get ready for the packing company that is coming today. =)

Here are two more parameters in the same format:
ICADrives=E=Floppy,rw,ycvd
ICAComports=COM2=COM1
In the first case E, Floppy, rw and ycvdfs as parameters
In the second case COM2 and COM1
ICADrives=E=Floppy,rw,ycvd
ICAComports=COM2=COM1
In the first case E, Floppy, rw and ycvdfs as parameters
In the second case COM2 and COM1
I'm still "enroute" in my move and don't have access to VB.Net. =(
I probably won't have my computer back up for another couple of weeks.
Hopefully someone else will jump in and give you a working solution before then.

Idle Mind, are you online again? Could you help me before the thread will be closed?
So basically you want to extract the data from only these two lines:
AUTH_SMB.conf=domain=tm.co
LDAP.conf=SERVER=ldapsrv DCBASE=dc
Do you want to simply ignore the rest of the lines from these two blocks?
If YES, then is it safe to ignore any line that begins with "auth" except for "AUTH_SMB"?
And is it safe to assume that any line beginning with "LDAP.conf" is the second line to be specially processed?
AUTH_SMB.conf=domain=tm.co
LDAP.conf=SERVER=ldapsrv DCBASE=dc

ASKER
Yes, any line starting with "auth" (except auth_smb) could be ignored.
So, basically there are 4 conditions at the moment that need to be considered.
1) AUTH_SMB.conf=domain=tm.co
should result in
key value
AUTH_SMB=domain tm.com
server dc1
backupserver dc2
2) LDAP.conf=SERVER=ldapsrv DCBASE=dc
should result in
key value
LDAP.conf=SERVER ldapsrv
DCBASE dc
3) ICADrives=E=Floppy,rw,ycvd
should result in
key value
ICADrives E
ICADrives1 floppy
ICADrives2 rw
ICADrives3 ycvdfs
4) ICAComports=COM2=COM1
should result in
key value
ICAComports COM1
ICAComports1 COM2
If it is not possible to store one or more of the parameters I need at least the option that this complete line is ignored, eg. "ICADrives=E=Floppy,rw,ycv

We can handle all these cases.
I'm not seeing "ICADrives" or "ICAComports" in the two blocks you gave though.
Are these in different blocks? Or lines by themselves? Are there additional lines that need to be ignored?
etc...

I've added these two parameter later in this thread (Date: 07/05/2006 02:12PM GMT)
Right...that's not a problem.
I was just wondering if those lines also have a "block" associated with them that needs to be ignored or if they are just single lines that need to be handled specially.

no they are just single lines

You are the best. Please tell your wife that she is right with her flavor. Bubble Bobble is one of the best games ever. I have the original arcade game here in my office :-)

As the new question is more difficult I would like to send you my source code. This way it is much more easy to explain what I need.
My email address is : thomas@moellerbernd.com
So, if this is OK for I will open a new Q and send you the code.
