I can't find anywhere a class that is able to grab data from a .lst (list) file.
Ideally, I'd like to find something that could get me my data like this:
void Get_Data(variable_type, variable_section, variable_key, variable_to_store_data_in);

If ANYONE knows ANYTHING about .lst files, or Parsing in general, I beg you to respond.

Thanks in advance.

don't know exactly what a .lst file is, but it sounds like you want to take data from a dbase dump file and use it for something.

get data line by line by using a while loop on an IFSTREAM checking for the return character. then, split each line based on the delimiter, which is normally a comma or tab character. after that, you're on your own for how to re-cast the text as data items, etc. it's really not that hard.

also, don't use "void" unless you really mean it. this function should return at least a success/fail.
