I'm working on reading an external config file in Python(3.7) using the module configparser
.
Here is my sample configuration file config.ini
[ABC]
ch0 = "C:/Users/utility/ABC-ch0.txt"
ch1 = "C:/Users/utility/ABC-ch1.txt"
[settings]
script = "C:/Users/OneDrive/utility/xxxx.exe"
settings = "C:/Users/OneDrive/xxxxxxConfig.xml"
Here is the sample code I tried:
import configparser
config = configparser.ConfigParser()
config.read('config.ini')
ch0 = config.get('ABC','ch0')
print(ch0)
And here is the error code I am getting, not sure what I am doing wrong:
NoSectionError: No section: 'ABC'
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
