Need small help. I have an "input.ini" input file which contains sample values like –

---

App=| 5000 | 5001 | 0 | | | | 1BYTE |

---

Starting with word (viz. App), followed by equal sign, than data within pipes (|) and blank space between two pipes ( | | ). Anything only between two pipes is to be read.

I am looking to parse this input file. After parsing, assign each data to struct member type and than send this complete struct as socket.

I am looking to use Boost property tree (or the needed one) and finally the ASIO to send the complete filled struct as stream.

I tried below code to read complete data and it worked but -

--- #include <iostream> #include #include #include

int main() {

boost::property_tree::ptree pt; boost::property_tree::ini_parser::read_ini("input.ini", pt); std::cout << pt.getstd::string("App") << std::endl; } ---

But, how to read between pipes?

Look at Boost tokenizer library. Or use standard regex or Boost regex depending on what your compiler supports.

Or algorithm::split http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_54_0/doc/html/boost/algorithm/split_idp54600...
