missionConfigFile can be used to parse mission.sqm file data as well if it is included into description.ext:

class MissionSQM
{
	#include "mission.sqm"
};

Then mission.sqm data can be accessed like this: getNumber (missionConfigFile >> "MissionSQM" >> "version"); //12 - version param in mission.sqm (courtesy of Master85)
