Message: [QUOTE="Time Waster, post: 3682080"] I don't see this as off-topic! The only wrinkle i noticed in property files was that you must escape equal signs in the data value (to be expected). Are there other gotchas? (I know about the comment character behavior as well.) I think I like this thought the best. To fill out the answers a bit, I'll be writing the property files only from C. They are only occasionally used, mostly at startup time. Various C programs and one Java program will be the consumers, and just one C program, a configuration program, will be the only writer. It feels a bit wrong to cater to the 1 Java program, but I just wanted a simple unified configuration representation instead of the mish-mash of section headers and quasi-property-file stuff that is there currently. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
