Feature request: multiple sections or parameters

[jirib]

It would be great if one could get multiple sections, or multiple specific parameters with one call of crudini. Thank you.

Closing this as a duplicate of issue #86

now implemented

@pixelb unfortunately, it's not working for me; btw, the test in the commit does not cover multiple --get iiuc.

Can't operate on multiple files
A utility for manipulating ini files

Usage: crudini --set [OPTION]...   config_file section   [param] [value]
  or:  crudini --get [OPTION]...   config_file [section] [param]
  or:  crudini --del [OPTION]...   config_file section   [param] [list value]
  or:  crudini --merge [OPTION]... config_file [section]

SECTION can be empty ("") or "DEFAULT" in which case,
params not in a section, i.e. global parameters are operated on.
If 'DEFAULT' is used with --set, an explicit [DEFAULT] section is added.

Multiple --set|--del|--get operations for a config_file can be specified.

Options:

  --existing[=WHAT]  For --set, --del and --merge, fail if item is missing,
                       where WHAT is 'file', 'section', or 'param',
                       or if WHAT not specified; all specified items.
  --format=FMT       For --get, select the output FMT.
                       Formats are 'sh','ini','lines'
  --ini-options=OPT  Set options for handling ini files.  Options are:
                       'nospace': use format name=value not name = value
  --inplace          Lock and write files in place.
                       This is not atomic but has less restrictions
                       than the default replacement method.
  --list             For --set and --del, update a list (set) of values
  --list-sep=STR     Delimit list values with "STR" instead of " ,".
                       An empty STR means any whitespace is a delimiter.
  --output=FILE      Write output to FILE instead. '-' means stdout
  --verbose          Indicate on stderr if changes were made
  --help             Write this help to stdout
  --version          Write version to stdout

@jirib In your example, multiple input "files" are created by the shell. Instead your use case should be supported like:

echo "${out}" |
crudini --format=lines \
  --get - communication \
  --get - cross_database_access \
  --get - expensive_statement

This works. Thank you very much.
