Rewrite the way ltx Files are edited (Further Planning required)

[EngineOfDarkness]

Currently I use ini_file_ex from _g.script which has one major drawback

• It parses the files in question when saving them.

This means that things like #include "presets\trade_discounts.ltx" get parsed - meaning in the resulting file this line is missing and instead the sections of the included file are present in the file.

This also concerns inheriting sections [supplies_1]:common_stock - in the final file it will just be [supplies_1] with the inherited values of section common_stock

It is also currently not possible to add new sections (only via vanilla anomaly methods), to change the "parent" sections a section inherits from or "include" any other ltx files

The Idea floating around in my head requires using luas IO Library to modify the LTX and keep them "unparsed" to so speak https://www.lua.org/pil/21.html

I'd have to reimplement a LTX parser that can

• Modify lines
  • Overwrite / Replace a line
  • Add before / after a line
• Search and Modify the section definition [supplies_1]:common_stock
  • Add Section to Inherit from [supplies_1]:common_stock,some_other_section
  • Remove Section to Inherit from [supplies_1]
  • Perhaps even Remove sections (not sure if that makes any sense)
• Remove properties from Sections
• Change properties
