I'm wanting to create a C++ program that uses kind of a config.ini file.
Basically I'm wanting to have my program search through a file for [choice1] and return it's value, "thisischoiceone", in a file that contains something like, "[choice1]=thisischoiceone"
It won't hurt my feelings if someone tells me to go search, it WILL hurt my feelings if you tell me to go search but don't help me out with any search terms. I'll cry, I really will. :(
I don't want to hurt your feelings so I won't comment. Try this

How can you need help with search terms?
Start with what you're looking for:
Information about ini files
Related to the language C++
Guess what your search terms should be? Remember to enclose C++ in double quotes, otherwise google will interpret the + characters as search term modifiers.
So that's what I was doing wrong.Quote:

Umm.... okay. I got links to source code that when compiled, produces a slew of errors. I put all of the header files in the right directory, tried compiling it, nope...
All I get from searching with the terms ' ini file "c++" ' or ' config file "c++" ' or ' configuration file "c++" ' is either source code that won't compile because either it's ..........ed or I just don't know how to compile source code, or instructions for editing a plaintext ini file with notepad.
All that aside, none of that will really help me seeing as it's a TOOL, pre-made and packaged, ready to use. Doesn't teach me squat about how to search a text file, and extract a string, which is what I want.... TO LEARN it.
Maybe I'm just not '1337' enough, oh well, thanks anyway.
For anyone else who cares to know:
WritePrivateProfileString() and GetPrivateProfileString() are two functions a friend suggested to look up. That produced a lot of search results and answered my question.
'preciate the help guys.
