LibCfg++

LibCfg++ is a convenient C++ library for working with configuration files.

What can it do?

• Manipulate strings (Read and change string values).
• Create and read sections.
• Format the file in its own style.
• Scan the file for errors.

Dependencies

Linux:

• G++ (GCC >= 4.8.1) - sudo apt-get install g++

Windows:

• MinGW or Visual C++

Usage

• Clone this repository to any folder you like, using this command git clone https://github.com/DRHandyman/LibCfgPP. If you do not have GIT installed, then here is a link to the documentation for installing it.
• Drag and drop files LibCfgPP.cpp and LibCfgPP.hpp to the folder with your project.
• Compile the source file LibCfgPP.cpp along with the rest of the source files.

Demonstration

Code example

// main.cpp

#include <iostream>

#include "LibCfgPP.hpp"

using namespace std;

LibCfgPP::CfgFile cfg_file;

int main() {
    try {
        cfg_file.open("cfg_file.cfg");

        cout << cfg_file.read("string") << endl
             << cfg_file.read("section", "string") << endl;
    } catch (const LibCfgPP::LCPPException &ex) {
        cout << ex.what() << endl;
    }

    cfg_file.close();

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

# cfg_file.cfg

string = "value" # Test comment
 
[section]
    string = "value" # Test comment
