Improved configuration file parsing. #53

Closed dsavransky closed 8 years ago

dsavransky commented 8 years ago

Use someone else's prewritten parser for config files. Allow comments on the same line as values? Perhaps an "INI" format structured text file with different sections?

See discussion thread at https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/comp.lang.idl-pvwave/ypj5JBGzYlY

the gm_read_textstructure here looks pretty good: http://hrscview.fu-berlin.de/idl.html

But, well, fundamentally what we have now is working well enough for current purposes. Low priority to improve.

The configuration files are simple enough that custom code is fine. No need to spend more time on this.
