        If you know STL, vector would handle your needs.

          Whether you use a database, an INI file, the registry, or some text file, they are all still files. You have no choice but to use a file. What kind of file is still debatable. Are you wanting persistent storage, or just an in-memory data structure?

                  Read the information in MSDN on the different "containers", ie, vector, list quene(MS?),map and muti-Map. Then you can make an informative decision as to which "container" will suit your needs. Enjoy!!

                    If you email me directly (larryamillssr@hughes.net) I'll send you some production code showing you how to create a vector, use that vector, save that vector's data and how to retrieve it back and put it into a vector.

                          There are a lot of options, depending on many factors. You may for instance use a XML file. If you need to be compact (XML is verbose) you may choose a (custom) binary file (if you're using MFC, have a look at Serialization in MFC [^] topic. SQLite [^] being serverless, maybe another option. ... Bottom line: there are a lot of options, you've to be more detailed in your requirements to end up with the proper solution. :)

                              You may use MSXML or other libraries, there are lot of them around.

                              Serialization is far better. Anyway, if you want to use INI files, then you have use the functions (GetPrivateProfileInt,...) listed at the bottom of this page [^]. Check out also this article [^]. :)
