 When such a configuration class object is created, its values are initialized with default values.

+  TestConfig configFile("config.txt");	// choose an appropriate path

+However, if a configuration file exists at the given location, you can load the values from there and overwrite these default values with the values given in the file.
+<code cpp>
+  TestConfig configFile("config.txt");	// choose an appropriate path
+  configFile.load();
+</code>
+WARNING Valid name for the identifiers of the values include numbers and letters only, no spaces, underlines or dots. 'myText10' is valid while 'my_text_10' is not! \\ \\
+You can manually create a suitable configuration file at the given location, e.g.
+<code>
+id = 1
+offset = 2.200000
+initValues = 0.1, 0.4, 0.3
+ip = 127.0.0.0
+</code>
+or you could save the values of your configuration class object into the file (and possible change an existing content).
+<code cpp>
+  configFile.save();
+</code>
+It's also possible to save to or restore from another file by writing:
+<code cpp>
+  configFile.save("config2.txt");
+  configFile.load("config2.txt");
