Thread: Issues with file reading

Hello everyone,

To say it simply I've wanted to construct my own database-management system in C language with data files in YAML format.
I have managed to create a database with multiple tables with for each table a YAML file which contains every rows and columns. It's very experimental for now but my issue today is to modify a given row from a specific table. For that I would want to know the structure of the table from the YAML file so I've tried plenty of methods to parse it using strtok() but I couldn't get to have the expected result. Here's the format of every data file:

Code:

"table":
-
  idColumn: 0
  column1: 90
  column2: Test
-
  idColumn: 1
  column1: 4
  column2: Test2

What I want to retrieve is only the name of every columns from a table but I have issues trying to parse it.
Also I'm a beginner in programming, even more in C, so I'm having hard times understanding how it works
