Even in AHK basic, this is easily accomplished by adding a few bells & whistles to a regular parsing loop. Obviously, AHK-L lets you read a list of sections, then whole sections at a time, making everything that much simpler.

Also, putting a poll on a thread that you don't intend to use directly is one of my pet peeves. I find it obnoxious and simple-minded to assume that 'votes' will add weight to your wish.

If you have a wish, explain it, state the merits/uses of it, and invite others to share thoughts.

A language should not contain too much very detailed/problem-specific syntax sugars, instead the syntax should be general and abstract to allow those loops easily.

As we have now kind of a For-Each Loop, all "Iterate over all items"-Tasks can be written like:

A good example is the File-Loop, a nice replacement would look like:


Same for the ini; eg:



The only question is, if the Ini/File Classes are shipped directly with AHK, or if they are to specific.

I think that things like these could be added to the standard library.
