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.
