ueconfigparser 1.1.7

ConfigParser (in text) created for read/edit/write Unreal Engine Config files

UnrealConfigParser Utility

This project provides a Python-based utility for handling configuration files in Unreal Engine workflows or other INI-style configurations. It offers a range of features to read, write, and modify configuration files programmatically.

Features

• Read and Write Configuration Files: Seamlessly read and write configuration data.
• Section and Key Management: Add, remove, and modify keys in specific sections.
• Value Matching and Replacement: Modify values based on substrings or specific criteria.
• Comment/Uncomment Keys: Enable or disable keys in configuration files.

Installation

pip install ueconfigparser

Ensure you have Python 2.7 or later installed.

Usage

Here are some examples of how to use the utility.

Example 1: Reading Configuration Files

from ueconfigparser import UnrealConfigParser

# Initialize the parser
parser = UnrealConfigParser()

# Read a configuration file
parser.read('config.ini')

# Display contents
parser.display()

Example 2: Writing to Configuration Files

from ueconfigparser import UnrealConfigParser

# Initialize the parser
parser = UnrealConfigParser()

# Read and modify the configuration file
parser.read('config.ini')
parser.add_key('General', 'NewKey', 'NewValue')

# Write changes to a new file
parser.write('updated_config.ini')

Example 3: Modifying a Key Value

from ueconfigparser import UnrealConfigParser

# Initialize the parser
parser = UnrealConfigParser()

# Read the configuration file
parser.read('config.ini')

# set a key's value
parser.set('General', 'ExistingKey', 'UpdatedValue')

# Save the changes
parser.write('updated_config.ini')

Example 4: Commenting and Uncommenting Keys

from ueconfigparser import UnrealConfigParser

# Initialize the parser
parser = UnrealConfigParser()

# Read the configuration file
parser.read('config.ini')

# Comment a key
parser.comment_key('General', 'KeyToDisable')

# Uncomment a key
parser.uncomment_key('General', 'KeyToEnable')

# Save the changes
parser.write('updated_config.ini')

Example 5: Replace Substring in a Section

from ueconfigparser import UnrealConfigParser

# Initialize the parser
parser = UnrealConfigParser()

# Read the configuration file
parser.read('config.ini')

# Replace a substring in a section
parser.replace_substring_in_section('General', 'OldSubstring', 'NewSubstring')

# Save the changes
parser.write('updated_config.ini')
