iniFile: Read a .ini file
In raster: Geographic Data Analysis and Modeling

Description Usage Arguments Details Value

This function reads '.ini' files. These are text file databases that are organized in [sections] containing pairs of "name = value".

1	readIniFile(filename, token='=', commenttoken=';', aslist=FALSE, case)

`filename`	Character. Filename of the .ini file
`token`	Character. The character that separates the "name" (variable name) from the "value"
`commenttoken`	Character. This token and everything that follows on the same line is considered a 'comment' that is not for machine consumption and is ignored in processing
`aslist`	Logical. Should the values be returned as a list
`case`	Optional. Function that operates on the text, such as `toupper` or `tolower`

This function allows for using inistrings that have "=" as part of a value (but the token cannot be part of the 'name' of a variable!). Sections can be missing.

A n*3 matrix of characters with columns: section, name, value; or a list if aslist=TRUE.
