Reading From A FIle

[benaam]

hi
I have a properties file called info.properties in the following format:

Status = on
Path = c:/somedir

Now from my Code I need to read the above two parameters from this file. How do I do that?Some sample code would be helpful

Try the following function. If your parameter values in the file do not come immediately after the equal sign, you may want to add some code to pass the space characters.


char Status[10];
char Path[255];


void ReadPar()
{
FILE *in;
char ch;

if((in=fopen("Info.txt","r&quot)!=NULL)
{
//read characters until encounter "="
do
{
ch=fgetc(in);
}while(ch!='=');

//read the value
fscanf(in,"%s",&Status);

//read characters until encounter "="
do
{
ch=fgetc(in);
}while(ch!='=');

//read the value
fscanf(in,"%s",&Path);

fclose(in);
}//if((in=fopen...

else
{
printf("Cannot open file Info.txt\n"
exit(1);
}//else

}//ReadPar()
