Write Configuration Data to an INI File

Description

This function converts an R list structure into an INI file format and writes it to a specified file.

Usage

write_ini(config_list, filename)

Arguments

config_list	A named list where each element is itself a named list representing sections and key-value pairs of the configuration data.
filename	A string specifying the path to the output INI file.

Details

The 'config_list' parameter should be a named list where each top-level name represents a section in the INI file. Each section should be a named list where the names are the keys and the values are the corresponding values in the INI file. Numeric values are converted to strings before being written to the file.

If the 'config_list' is empty, an empty INI file will be created.

Value

This function does not return a value. It writes the INI file to the specified path.

Examples

config <- list(
  section1 = list(
    key1 = "value1",
    key2 = 123
  ),
  section2 = list(
    keyA = "valueA",
    keyB = "valueB"
  )
)
ini_file <- tempfile()
write_ini(config, ini_file)
unlink(ini_file)
