HI all - I have what I think is a simple problem: I'm trying to parse IES files, and there is a line that can have three options: TILT=NONE -or- TILT=INCLUDE -or- TILT=<filename> The way I'm trying to parse this line is: // in the case of TILT=INCLUDE or TILT=<filename> int lampToLuminaireGeom; int numPairsWithMulFactors = 0; std::string tiltFileName; BOOST_AUTO(keywordSym, (qi::lit("NONE") | qi::lit("INCLUDE"))); BOOST_AUTO(fileName, *char_ - keywordSym); BOOST_AUTO(initial, ( "TILT" >> char_('=') >> ( "NONE" | ( "INCLUDE" >> int_[ref(lampToLuminaireGeom) = _1] >> int_[ref(numPairsWithMulFactors) = _1] ) | fileName[ref(tiltFileName)] ) ) ); if(!phrase_parse(first, last, initial, space)) { return IES_INVALID; } The code works with NONE or INCLUDE, but not with files. As far as I know, there are no real restrictions on the filenames. At this point, the code posted above can't even get simple file names, but really I think what is required is that I grab anything non-whitespace after the '=' until it reaches an EOL. Can anyone provide some insight about what I may be doing wrong? Thanks, Brian
