    Post C Parser for parsing and reading Config file with defined format?

    Hi,
    I need to parse a configuration file , I need to compare the string variable and get the values.

    The variable and values are seperated by white spaces,
    For example,
    TestscenConf.config file contains the following,

    SCENARIO_TYPE WIRELESS_TEST
    SIMULATION_TIME 200
    [1] [IP_ADDR1][1] 192.168.1.0
    [2] [IP_ADDR2][1] 192.168.1.2
    [2] [IP_ADDR2][2] 192.168.1.3

    Here, everything is seperated by space.

    I want to compare variable name and get its value.

    How can I parse it in C or C++.

    Thank you,

    Arun

    Read in a line. Compare the first chunk of it with your list of things to look for. Do whatever is appropriate. Repeat until done.

    Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
