virtual bool BALL::RDFSection::extractSection	(	Parameters &	parameters,
		const String &	section_name
	)			[virtual]

Reads a parameter section from an INI file.

This method reads the section given in section_name from ini_file, interprets (if given) a format line, reads the data from this section according to the format, and builds some datastructures for fast and easy acces to the data.

	parameters	the parameters defining the inifile to be read from
	section_name	the name of the section to be read (without the squared brackets)

Returns:

bool - true if the section could be read, false otherwise
