Configuration files function

Hi

I'm trying to make KSH functions using regexp that would handle
configuration file options write and read.

Configuration file is "windows" style .ini file. that is format like

[section 1]
variable1=value1
variable2=value2
variable3=value3

[section 2]
variable1=value1
variable4=value4

etc...
file can be what ever size with 0 to ? sections and variables.
values can be single value or list of values

write function uses parameters : <section> <variable> <value to write>
read function uses parameters : <section> <variable> <value to write>

Has anyone seen sample for this ?
