Re^2: Config file to tree format with id, parent, key, value

Hi Choroba, can I ask you one more thing? Those config files can come in many different formats. I have two questions: 1. The order where the entries are coming is important? For example, if "dropout_detection_time_start" comes before "feed_realtime_processor_pool", is this going to break my parser? 2. If we have situations where some of the rules are not present in the config file, is this going to break the parser? For example, if I have "another_realtime_processor_pool", is this going to be discarded? Obviously I'll create a grammar for those extra parameters, but there are situations where the configs can have different entries depending of what the user wants to put in the config. Thanks.

The order shouldn't be important in this case. You can see that both "dropout_detection_time_start" and "feed_realtime_processor_pool" are instances of Element, that combine to Elements in any order ( `Element+` ). Have you noticed that the parser is universal? It doesn't look for "realtime_processor" anywhere, it searches for `Name` , so you can define anything you like (however, at the same time, it means the parser doesn't catch typos - if you have the exhaustive list of possible Names available, replace the general `alpha` by something more specific).
