Why Convert TXT to INI?

Converting plain text to INI provides a predictable structure for configuration data using sections and key-value pairs. This format is easy to read and parse by both humans and programs, making it ideal for application settings, environment variables, and user preferences. INI files require minimal syntax and are supported across most programming languages and systems.

By converting TXT to INI, you ensure your configuration is organized, validated, and easily maintainable. It simplifies automation and scripting tasks by leveraging standard parsers, reducing errors and improving portability of your settings.
