Reading Files :doh:
-
Hello, ok my problem is that i don't know how to parse a config file. The file is read line by line into a char[255]. The config file looks like this:
some_proberty = some_value
test2 = test3
url = www.codeproject.comSo there is always the name an then = and then the value. In Visual C++ I would use CStrings which have the Trim, Left, Right Functions, etc. But it seems there are no such functions for the char. So how can I read my config file ? With best regards, Benedikt

Red, you may be able to use sscanf to parse each line of the file. It can parse based on a format string into the variables that are passed in the call to it. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vclib/html/_crt_sscanf.2c_.swscanf.asp[^]

Sure there is. If they did not exist for
char, then theCStringclass would not have such methods (since it is based on achartype). Why not just copy the code from the threeCStringmethods into your project? It'll work fine.

Two Option :- #1. Use GetPrivateProfileString() api to extract data from file #2. use CStdioFile::ReadString() method (which read the File Line by line) and then you have to parse the data manaully
