Text Formatting & various questions.

So, its been a while since iv been dealin with C++, been doin many things lol. But if i remember right, you need to just search through text via loops correct? So making your own simple format is the best option then correct?

Prob somethin similar to a simple <> xml format, searching for "<*>" then "</*>"?

On that same note, what are good tools to look into for searching, ie, should i be using String's features for parsing or what?


Thanks for any replies, been so long i cant remember any precise terms, but itll come back quickly lol :D


(FYI, i am looking to make a massive DB text file(s) with organized categories for trivia, doing this so i can make a few shots at once. Revamp a bit in C++, and build a study aid for my A++/Net+ Deg.(And dont start how they are easy as hell tests, blahblah, i am just makin a quiz prog here lol :p)

There are a number of standard methods and algorhithms available to search STL containers, including the STL string class. Otherwise you are pretty much restricted to using strok(), or related pre-written functions OR writing your own functions to do what you want.
