Hi:
I’m working on a project and have a file with lines of the following form: <snip> What boost library do people feel is the best one to use to parse this form of input, boost.Regex, boost.proto or boost.spirit?
boost.proto is _not_ about parsing, it's about creating EDSLs based on Expression Templates. boost.spirit is implemented with proto, and a EDSL for describing grammars in a EBNF-style. Another example of an EDSL built on proto is boost.xpressive which is a regular expression EDSL. boost.regex, as the name says is also about regexes.
And given the input, what would be the best way of going about doing this?
I'd personally go for spirit.
I need the function, Synopsis, Description, and then the parameters ideally placed in separate variables.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers
Sean.
