Consider storing your data in .lua files. Use lua-inih to convert your legacy .INI data to .lua.

inih.parse(filename : string, callback : function) : true / nil, error_message

Parse .INI file in filename, calling callback function for each 'name = value' pair.

Default section name is "" (empty string).

Callback signature:

callback(
 section : string,
 name : string,
 value : string
 ) : true / nil, error_message

Example:

local inih = require 'inih'
local data = { }
assert(inih.parse('myfile.ini', function(section, name, value)
 data[section] = data[section] or { }
 data[section][name] = value
 return true -- continue parsing
end))
