Would it break anything if calling file.iniGetObject("section"); returned undefined instead of an empty object if the section "section" doesn't exist in the file?

It's kind of a pain to work around that.

It's kind of a pain to work around that.

I just committed a change to do that, try it and let me know. Now, one caveat is that the method will return null/undefined if the specified section doesn't exist in the .ini file *or* it contains no keys/values. The second condition may prove to be a problem for some scripts. We'll have to see.

hmm. there's no way to have it both ways?

e.g. empty object if the section exists with no keys/values, and null/undefined if it's not there at all

I think I would prefer that behavior. How about you?
