If strict=true and the line being read contains more than a name=value pair this function will return an error. However, when strict=false it will return the value and ignore the rest of the line.
For example
[example_section]
name=65.2 ;this is a comment
In this example, if strict=true we will get an error but if strict=false it will return the value 65.2
partial function getReal extends Interfaces.partialGetReal; input String section = "" "Section"; input Types.ExternINIFile ini "External INI file object"; input Boolean strict = true "Return an error if there are characters on the line that aren't part of the value"; end getReal;
