using []string in a struct goes wrong if any of the strings contains a comma ',' #348
Description
Version
go version go1.21.4 linux/amd64
Describe the bug
I have a struct:
type Config struct {
Scale float32
History []string
}This normally works fine with ini.ReflectFrom and ini.Load. However if one of the strings has a comma ',' it doesn't work correctly.
To reproduce
Try a .ini file like this:
Scale = 1.5
History = Test One,Test Two,Test with comma, Three,Test Four
Expected behavior
I expect it to quote commas on save and unquote them on load.

struct: escape delimiter in string slices on ReflectFrom
unknwon commentedon Nov 11, 2026
Fixed in v1.68.0 by PR 402. Set
LoadOptions{EscapeSliceDelimiters: true}andReflectFromescapes\and the delimiter in string slice elements, soMapToreads them back unchanged. It is off by default in v1 because other readers don't unescape them. v2 (unknwon.dev/ini/v2) escapes by default.
