a simple .ini parser

[Whistler]

its code isn't very "clever"... but it's enough to be used with bots:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.p...pp?view=markup
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.p....h?view=markup

(I'm licensing this code under GNU GPL with the special exception to link against the HLSDK)

using is very simple:

PHP Code:

#include "ini.h" // at the top of your source file

CIniFile ini("test.ini"); // load an ini file
printf("%s\n", ini.Get("SECTION", "Item")); // read a item from the file
ini.Set("SECTION", "Item", "Value"); // write a value to the ini
ini.Save("filename.ini"); // save the ini file

well done man !

Some notes :

• Get rid of pragma once, you already have .h guard defined before it
• I recommend using C++ constructs, if you are already using classes (malloc -> new, FILE* -> std::fstream, char* -> std::string
• Wrap your parser in some napespace, so people can use it in their programs without potential conflicts
• you should trim section name after you remove [ ], example

    [   foo]

  will be loaded as " FOO" instead of "FOO"
• implement removing items
• realoc is too often, will fragment memory and slow things down. I recommend allocating in blocks, like I'll allocate 10 units at start and if eleventh unit will come, I'll allocate another 10 units, allocating everytime unit comes is IMO slow and ineffective
• overall it is small good simple program

maybe use the STL, especially the vector<..> class, to get rid of all those explicit memory handling stuff, makes a lot of stuff a lot more simpler.

and depending on how you wanna use that ini class, if it's called often and needs to be fast, a hashtable might be useful

updating CVS to fix a memory leak and allocate memory in blocks (thanks Jozef Wagner)

P.S, I found the memory leak with this handy tool:
