Let me tell you, w/o knowing characteristics about .ini file I manually created a input.ini file like an oridinary .txt or .log file and thought to try if it can be parsed entirely like normal file. Let me know, if I can manually write in .ini file as one of my READ file where I try READING entire LINE until end rather in "key, value" of .ini format. Also, what could be the best and fastest way to large (~ 5KB) files on Linux with GNU compilers and Boost-v1.54. Is memory-mapped files the fastest way or iostream or boost.spirit?

All,

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.

Thanks all. I was able to make out. Sometimes exploring C (strtok) also works well. On Wed, Oct 23, 2013 at 8:32 PM, Nat Goodspeed wrote:

You must have intended to write different units. 5KB isn't large.
