[Overview][Classes][Index] Reference for unit 'IniFiles' (#fcl)

TCustomIniFile.Create

Instantiate a new instance of TCustomIniFile.

Declaration

Source position: inifiles.pp line 128

public constructor TCustomIniFile.Create(

  const AFileName: String;

  AEscapeLineFeeds: Boolean = false

); virtual;

Arguments

AFileName

  

Filename to read

AEscapeLineFeeds

  

Should escaping of linefeeds be enabled ?

Description

Create creates a new instance of TCustomIniFile and loads it with the data from AFileName, if this file exists. If the AEscapeLineFeeds parameter is True, then lines which have their end-of-line markers escaped with a backslash, will be concatenated. This means that the following 2 lines

Description=This is a \
line with a long text

is equivalent to

Description=This is a line with a long text

By default, not escaping of linefeeds is performed (for Delphi compatibility)

Errors

If the file cannot be read, an exception may be raised.
