Loads a table from a file.

/hload -sbni <name> <filename> [section]

These loads plain text from a text file, with item and data on separate lines.

Using the -s switch makes the command display the result (e.g. * Loaded hash table 'users' from 'users.dat')

The -b switch loads binary files.

You can use -n to load files as data only, with no items. When loading with -n each line of data is assigned an N item value, starting at N = 1.

The -i switch treats the file as an ini file. You can specify an optional section name after the filename.

Note that /hload does not create the table, it must already have been created by /hmake.

Example

hload users users.dat

This simple example just loads users.dat into a hashtable called users.

hload -si users users.ini myusers

That one loads the section myusers of the ini called users.ini to hashtable users and displays the result.
