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 <boost/property_tree/ptree.hpp>

#include <boost/property_tree/ini_parser.hpp>

#include <boost/filesystem/fstream.hpp>

int main()

{

  boost::property_tree::ptree pt;

  boost::property_tree::ini_parser::read_ini("input.ini", pt);

  std::cout << pt.get<std::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.
