ini-parser

Line-based parsing reads the INI file as a Vec<String> to preserve duplicates, comments, and original formatting. You can then apply regex modifications to specific lines and write the result back atomically using atomic-fs to prevent file corruption.

Standard INI parsers often overwrite duplicate keys and strip comments, corrupting 3DMigoto configs. A line-based parsing approach treats the file as a list of strings, preserving all duplicates and formatting while allowing safe regex-based modifications to variables.

The best way to safely update variables in a d3dx.ini file is using regex patterns to target specific lines for modification. This line-based approach ensures original formatting is preserved, and writing back atomically using atomic-fs guarantees the file remains safe from corruption.

Yes, you can use regex to target and modify specific key-values within an INI file. By reading the file line by line as a Vec<String>, the parser applies regex changes only to matching lines while keeping all other lines, comments, and duplicates completely intact.

Yes, lossless INI editing supports atomic write-back for configuration files. After reading the file line by line and applying regex-based modifications, the results are written back atomically using the atomic-fs dependency, ensuring file safety and preventing data corruption during the write process.

You should use a line-based INI parser when your config files contain duplicates, comments, or specific formatting that standard key-value parsers would destroy. It is specifically designed for safe editing of 3DMigoto INI files where preserving the original structure is critical.
