Extraneous double quotes getting wrapped around parameters that have non-word characters

[evanstachowiak]

I believe this is the culprit:
https://github.com/datafolklabs/ruby-parseconfig/blob/master/lib/parseconfig.rb#L161

Is there a reason that parameters are getting wrapped with double-quotes in this case? I'm using this to work with aws config files and it is an issue for me.

@evanstachowiak can you checkout, and try the master branch? pushed up a change.. the default is to quote config values by default, however you can now disable quoting:

require 'parseconfig'
c = ParseConfig.new('/path/to/my/config')
c.write(STDOUT, quoted=false)

Hope that helps. Also, it has been years since I've coded with Ruby (everything I do is Python now), so if you have any interested in helping maintain this library please let me know. It could really use some love.

@derks thanks for the quick response!

Works now, however, I had to massage the gemspec a bit. Is there a reason it's in the utils/ folder instead of the top-level? This is causing:

s.files = ["README.md", "Changelog", "LICENSE", "doc", "lib/parseconfig.rb", "tests"]

to bork.

If you move gemspec into the top-level it works fine.

I may be interested in helping. send a PM to evan dot stachowiak at gmail dot com

No reason, but I've never had an issue with it:

$ gem build utils/parseconfig.gemspec
  Successfully built RubyGem
  Name: parseconfig
  Version: 1.0.5
  File: parseconfig-1.0.5.gem

Interesting, maybe because I did
cd utils; gem build parseconfig.gemspec
and it couldn't find the lib path.

Anyways, thanks again for the update.
