Question

I can’t use the Get*Profile functions because I’m using an older version of the Windows CE platform SDK which doesn’t have those. It doesn’t have to be too general.

[section] name = some string 

I just need to open the file, check for the existence of ‘section’, and the value associated with ‘name’. Standard C++ is preferred.

What I came up with:

std::wifstream file(L'\\Windows\\myini.ini'); if (file) {   bool section=false;   while (!file.eof())   {     WCHAR _line[256];     file.getline(_line, ELEMENTS(_line));     std::wstringstream lineStm(_line);     std::wstring &line=lineStm.str();     if (line.empty()) continue;      switch (line[0])     {       // new header       case L'[':       {         std::wstring header;         for (size_t i=1; i<line.length(); i++)         {           if (line[i]!=L']')             header.push_back(line[i]);           else             break;         }         if (header==L'Section')           section=true;         else           section=false;       }   break;       // comments       case ';':       case ' ':       case '#':       break;       // var=value       default:       {         if (!section) continue;          std::wstring name, dummy, value;         lineStm >> name >> dummy;         ws(lineStm);         WCHAR _value[256];         lineStm.getline(_value, ELEMENTS(_value));         value=_value;       }     }   } }
