Hello All, First Post

Im a little frustrated with getting data from a particular file. This is a little like a history file, but its writen out in almost plain english, what I need is to get all of the needed data from this file (it's from a weather station). This section of my code is complete garbage, so I wont bother to post it.

If anyone is interetsed in a mini-project, you can help me get all of the data from this file.

The next line starts line one of currdat.lst:
[header]
programm_name = "heavy weather"
programm_version = "Ver. 2.0 beta release"
file_name = "currdat.lst"
file_format_version = "ver. 1.0"

last_actualisation_date_string = "Thu Jan 27 18:01:34 2005"
next_actualisation = 3315855754
next_actualisation_date_string = "Thu Jan 27 18:02:34 2005"

James: I will do it for you and post the results when I finish. I'm going to bed soon so you won't get it until tomorrow at the very earliest, sorry. Also, did you want to do this in C++ or straight C?

melbolt

this would be a piece of cake if you could put it in an xml file, have to be plain text?

If this thread is still active, thanks alot uman, when do you think it might be completed? An estamate is fine. C++ is preferred
