Custom parsing in a file

BinaryOrange

Hi guys, I am looking for a way to parse through a file in a custom fashion, particularly for storing my game's current settings. Right now, I am using JSON to store the settings, but since that keeps everything unsorted, this is what my config.ini file looks like.

{&quot;sndFXVolume&quot;:75, &quot;masterVolume&quot;:100, &quot;vSyncEnabled&quot;:true, &quot;displayWidth&quot;:2560, &quot;displayHeight&quot;:1440, &quot;fullscreenMode&quot;:true, &quot;musicVolume&quot;:70, &quot;voiceVoume&quot;:80}

That's not exactly player-readable, and I want it to be more like this in case a player has a problem with the game and needs to change a settings.

Display Width=2560 Display Height=1440 etc.,...

I'm not able to find much information on parsing through the file, so I was hoping someone here had an idea they would be willing to share! EDIT: To be a little clearer, I know what I need to do is find something like a string.split() method, and tell it to ignore the "=" sign in my example above, so that it only reads the value.

You can use [url=http://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/classes/class_configfile.html]ConfigFile[/url] class to write/read INI-like files (like the engine.cfg of the Godot project).
