text file routines
« on: 13 / August / 2008, 12:54:33 »

Hi,
I would like to read and parse a text file.  I notice that some basic routines (like fgets) are missing from the c library.  Am I right?  Should I write them myself? or has someone already done this.

What I want to do is read lines from a text file then do some simple parsing of the lines.

Thanks,
Jon

I must be missing something - don't the script handling routines do something close to what you want? See script_load in core/script.c (and lib/ubasic/ubasic.c) for example.

Might be overkill, but you could also use lua for this

Say your text file has a bunch of
name=value
statements
create a lua state
lua_dofile your text file
getglobal on each name you are interested in.
delete you lua state.

there's a bunch of other ways you could do it too, but that's probably the most straightforward.
