Config File

Just wondering, if anyone has got a library or good link to parse a config file. If not is there any effcient way of hanlding config file, where the config is just normal text file. Its not XML file or anything.

Re: Config File

win32 api has functions to parse them. Don't know about *nix.

Also, see this article

Re: Config File

Thanks Ancient Dragon for your quick reply. But unfortunatly I am on *nix environment. So looking for a lib which can support unix config file :( I Should have mentioned that.

Or is there any better way that we can parse, rather than going all the down throught the file and finding out the tag?

Re: Config File

The link I posted is portable for both windows and *nix, but it was written in C++, not C. I have not read it closely but you might get ideas from that code.
