[R] Read Windows-like .INI files into R data structure?

[Vladimir Eremeev]

One more question, inspired by this one, just to increase my R skill level.

"var1=value1", "A=value3" is almost pure R code.
Is it possible to use this feature to solve the problem? 
That is, something like eval(as.expression("A=value3"))  and assign (store)
the result in "lst$Section2" environment.

"lst" is a newly created list, containing the contents of the file being
processed.
