Hi:

Ok, I’ve just takan a look at property tree and it seems to do what I want, however if I use xml, and for example have an element such as:

<Person id=121>

<Name=”bla”/>

<age=33/>

</Person>

How will propertytree handle the attribute on person, i.e the id member?

Secondly, How do I go about having a number of person entries—i.e persons. I was thinking of using a vector of propertyTrees, will this work?

Any help appreciated!

Cheers

Sean.

Hi:

I’m new to using the program_options library. I have a requirement to use an ini file style configuration file.

I have a file of the form:

[Section 1]

Key 1 =value1

Key2=value2

[section2]

Key1=value1

Key2=value2

What I’d like to be able to do is:

Firstly enumerate the sections assuming the form above.

Then secondly enumerate the keys and values in any section of my coosing.

Will program_options allow me to do this?

No, but PropertyTree will.
