[Boost-users] config-files with program_options

Hi,

I'm trying ro read a config file with the program_options library, but I 
can't figure out how to read several sections in a config file whithout 
knowing (the exact) section names.
For example I have a config file with N [blockn] sections (n=1...N) in 
my config file but I don't know N:

[block1]
name="Name section 1"
[block2]
name="Name2 section 2"
.
# there might or might not be more sections with the 'name' option
.

Is there any support for wildcards in option names so I could write 
something like

options_description Opts_Desc("Config-File Options");
Opts_Desc.add_options() ("*.name", value<string>(),
                "Name of the block");

or is there a workaround for this problem? Thanks a lot in advance,
