General usage of ResourceDev files

  A resource file is a plain ASCII file in the following syntax:

#

Comment. Every line beginning with a # is commented out.

Line continuation as in C.

ident;

Assign integer/real value 1 to identifier ident. Everywhere ident = n; is allowed you can use ident; for n = 1.

ident = n0, n1, n2, ...;

Assign integer/real values n0, n1, n2, ... to identifier ident.

ident = "xyz", "XYZ", ...;

Assign string values ident = "xyz", "XYZ", ... to identifier ident. As in C "ab" "cd" (= "abcd"), " n t 012 x12" are valid methods to write strings.

ident = { ... }

Assign a group to identifier ident. Its contents are of the prescribed syntax so groups can be nested recursively.

INCLUDE = "xyz";

Include the contents of a group defined anywhere else.

Its interpretation is done by the calling class.

The identifiers of nested groups are written as a path.
