Hi, I'm trying to get a config file, change to a structure having id,parent,key,value (see example below), so then I can create sql commands to insert into an oracle table.

Example of config: 

# This is a comment
feed_realtime_processor_pool = ( 11, 12 ) ;
dropout_detection_time_start = "17:00";
# Sometimes the config can have sub-structures
named_clients = (
{
  name = "thread1";
  user_threads = (
     { name = "realtime1"; cpu = 11; } # more comments
     { name = "realtime2"; cpu = 12; } # more comments
    );
}
);

(...) Converting: 
id,parent, key,                            value
01,null,   'feed_realtime_processor_pool', '11'
02,null,   'feed_realtime_processor_pool', '12'
03,null,   'dropout_detection_time_start', '17:00'
04,null,   'named_clients',                null
05,04,     'name',                         'thread1'
06,04,     'user_threads',                 null
07,06,     'name',                         'realtime1'
08,06,     'cpu',                          '11'
09,06,     'name',                         'realtime2'
10,06,     'cpu',                          '12'

So, the question is:

1. Somebody knows some lib/module that can do this? I couldn't find.

2. If not, somebody can give me some suggestion about how should I start this script, maybe using different modules to help me parsing the config? To clean and parse the config is the harderst part for me.

Thanks.
