Use one forum at a time.
Use a stream and read it line by line or use GetPrivateProfileString / int and parse it.

You can parse it character by character, or parse it by line, or use a stream object.
I suggest parsing by line, it is easier than you think.
e.g pseudocode:
When you have tokenized the file, you can parse the tokens instead.
something like this:
I'll post an example later, I was actually working on something similiar like this just now, but tokenizing C++ source code, it'll be in my framewokr later.
I suggest parsing by line, it is easier than you think.
e.g pseudocode:
Code:
for character in file
{
if character is alphabetic
continue reading characters whilst character is alphanumerical
push each character into value and store it in a token, when done save token
else if character is decimal
continue reading characters whilst character is numerical
push each character into value and store it in a token, when done save token
else if character is '"'
continue reading characters whilst character is numerical
push each character into value and store it in a token, when done save token
else
do operator check and save into token
}
something like this:
Code:
for token in tokens
{
if token is identifier
create symbol set symbol name as value
continue reading tokens untill you find a terminator or equals assignment
}
