## Description

Work with INI files in PowerShell using hashtables.

### Origin

This code was originally a blog post for [Hey Scripting Guy](http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy)

> [Use PowerShell to Work with Any INI File](http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2011/08/20/use-powershell-to-work-with-any-ini-file.aspx)

## Installation

PsIni is published to the [Powershell Gallery](https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/PsIni)

and can be installed as follows:

```powershell

Install-Module PsIni

```

## Examples

Create a hashtable and save it to C:\settings.ini:

```powershell

Import-Module PsIni

$Category1 = @{"Key1"="Value1";"Key2"="Value2"}

$Category2 = @{"Key1"="Value1";"Key2"="Value2"}

$NewINIContent = @{"Category1"=$Category1;"Category2"=$Category2}

Out-IniFile -InputObject $NewINIContent -FilePath "C:\settings.ini"

```

Results:

> ```Ini

> [Category1]

> Key1=Value1

> Key2=Value2

>

> [Category2]

> Key1=Value1

> Key2=Value2

> ```

Returns the key "Key2" of the section "Category2" from the C:\settings.ini file:

```powershell

$FileContent = Get-IniContent "C:\settings.ini"

$FileContent["Category2"]["Key2"]

```
