{{code|utilities.parsers.settings_to_array}} takes a string of comma-separated key=value statements, and returns an associative array of {{code|1=["key"] = value}} entries. Very useful for parsing and accessing macro arguments at the Lua end.

<pre>
str = 'top, inmargin=2, top, {here,now}'
utilities.parsers.settings_to_array(str)

{{code|utilities.parsers.settings_to_array}} takes a string of comma-separated keywords, and returns a array of those keywords in the order in which they appear. Duplicates are not filtered. <tt>Key=value</tt> strings are taken as a single keyword. Surrounding braces are removed

{{code|utilities.parsers.settings_to_array}} takes a string of comma-separated keywords, and returns a array of those keywords in the order in which they appear, with duplicates removed.

| utilities.parsers.add_settings_to_array
| parse and write directly into table
|-
| utilities.parsers.arguments_to_table
| parse arguments, return table
|-
| utilities.parsers.array_to_string(a,sep)
| concatenates a with custom sep or comma
|-
| utilities.parsers.getparameters
| write settings_to_hash to an array with a metatable. A metatable is a sort of parent: when a table is accessed, undefined values will be looked up in the metatable.

| utilities.parsers.hash_to_string
| turn a hash into a string, with optional strictness settings
|-
| utilities.parsers.simple_hash_to_string
| concatenate the values of a hash
|-
| utilities.parsers.make_settings_to_hash_pattern
| returns parser pattern for strict, tolerant, or normal arg-parsing
|-
| utilities.parsers.settings_to_hash_strict
| like settings_to_hash with strict parsing
|-
| utilities.parsers.settings_to_hash_tolerant
| like settings_to_hash with tolerant parsing
