CFLib.org – Common Function Library Project

Description:
It supports to translate any unicode-based language instead of using GetProfileSections() which doesn't support Unicode (UTF-8). See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/ColdFusion/10.0/CFMLRef/WSc3ff6d0ea77859461172e0811cbec22c24-6cff.html

Return Values:
Struct keyed by profile section, the values being comma-delimited lists of section entries

Example:

<cfdump var="#getProfileSectionsUTF8("/path/to/my.ini")#">

Parameters:
