ini type file reader

[BadBazza]

Hi,

I've looked through loadsa forums but to no avail.

I am about to write a C++ file reader to read text files which contain initialization and parameter info.

What I hope the file will look like is

[control]
orientation=landscape
sound=50
menu=1,4,3,5

I believe that most of you (programmers) will have used something like this in the past and I did not want to reinvent the wheel.

Can anybody offer some pointers to save me some time?

Thanks in advance
Bad

Certainly. Jaap wrote an excellent ini file implementation for the Overloaded libraries. You're quite welcome to 'take a look at it'. It does use STL btw.

meh, .ini files have been obsolete for 7 years now, i'd go for XML!

[britcode]

what is the advantage of XML over ini?

[BadBazza]

Thanks for the rapid replies

Phantom: is STL ok on PPCs? Not used them before but am looking into them now.

BurningSheep: XML?

Thanks again
Bad
