shell 解析properties,从Shell脚本读取配置文件

I am looking for a shell script analog to something like Pythons's ConfigParser or Perl's Config::INI. I have sourced files in the past to accomplish this, but I'd prefer to read rather than execute my "config file". Does anyone know of anything comparable to the above modules available for shell (or bash) scripts?

Thanks,

Jerry

You don't want source it, so you should:

1.read the config, 2.verify lines 3.eval them

CONFIGFILE="/path/to/config"

echo "=$ADMIN= =$TODO= =$FILE=" #these variables are not defined here

eval $(sed '/:/!d;/^ *#/d;s/:/ /;' < "$CONFIGFILE" | while read -r key val

do

#verify here

#...

str="$key='$val'"

echo "$str"

done)

echo =$ADMIN= =$TODO= =$FILE= #here are defined

sample of config file

ADMIN: root

TODO: delete

var=badly_formtatted_line_without_colon

#comment

FILE: /path/to/file

if you run the above sample should get (not tested):

== == ==

=root= =delete= =/path/to/file=

sure this is not the best solution - maybe someone post a nicer one.
