Configuration File

[CodyNault]

I would like to add a config directory to the project that contain important configuration files for the execution of the application.

I would like the configuration files to be parsed on application start, I don't want to have to recompile the application if I change these settings.

A common format is to have each setting separated by line breaks:
setting1=value1
setting2=value2

comment that will be ignored

setting3=value3

I think it should ignore lines with comments and empty lines and should throw errors for incorrectly formatted files.

if possible I would like to access these settings by checking something like:
Config::setting1 == "value1"

Also, remember to close the file as soon as you pulled the contents, I don't want it to lock up the handle the whole time the application is running.
