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?

Any clue?
