Summary

0000237: Ini files: poor iparsing for iteration values containing comma

Description

If an omnetpp.ini contains the following line:

**.packetLength = ${2500, 1500, intuniform(256,512), 64}

then intuniform(256,512) is split at the comma, and interpreted as two items. Quoting (backslash, double quote) does not help.

There are similar errors with brackets, curly braces, quoted strings containing commas, etc.

A better tokenizer is needed: it should count parentheses, brackets, curly braces, quotation marks and apostrophes; it should also honor backslash quoting inside string literals.

The IDE's ini file parsing also has this problem.

Notes
(0000392) andras (administrator) 2011-02-22 23:44	The new parser takes nested parens (also brackets, curly braces) and quotes into account. Escaping, where still needed, is done with backslash. See envir/ChangeLog.
