Detailed Description

template<class SI_CHAR, class SI_STRLESS, class SI_CONVERTER>
class CSimpleIniTempl< SI_CHAR, SI_STRLESS, SI_CONVERTER >

Simple INI file reader.

This can be instantiated with the choice of unicode or native characterset, and case sensitive or insensitive comparisons of section and key names. The supported combinations are pre-defined with the following typedefs:

Interface Case-sensitive Typedef
char No CSimpleIniA
char Yes CSimpleIniCaseA
wchar_t No CSimpleIniW
wchar_t Yes CSimpleIniCaseW

Note that using other types for the SI_CHAR is supported. For instance, unsigned char, unsigned short, etc. Note that where the alternative type is a different size to char/wchar_t you may need to supply new helper classes for SI_STRLESS and SI_CONVERTER.

Member Function Documentation

◆ Delete()

template<class SI_CHAR , class SI_STRLESS , class SI_CONVERTER >
bool CSimpleIniTempl< SI_CHAR, SI_STRLESS, SI_CONVERTER >::Delete ( const SI_CHAR *  a_pSection,
const SI_CHAR *  a_pKey,
bool  a_bRemoveEmpty = false 
)

Delete an entire section, or a key from a section.

Note that the data returned by GetSection is invalid and must not be used after anything has been deleted from that section using this method. Note when multiple keys is enabled, this will delete all keys with that name; there is no way to selectively delete individual key/values in this situation.

Parameters
a_pSectionSection to delete key from, or if a_pKey is NULL, the section to remove.
a_pKeyKey to remove from the section. Set to NULL to remove the entire section.
a_bRemoveEmptyIf the section is empty after this key has been deleted, should the empty section be removed?
Returns
true Key or section was deleted.
false Key or section was not found.

◆ GetAllKeys()

template<class SI_CHAR , class SI_STRLESS , class SI_CONVERTER >
bool CSimpleIniTempl< SI_CHAR, SI_STRLESS, SI_CONVERTER >::GetAllKeys ( const SI_CHAR *  a_pSection,
TNamesDepend a_names 
) const

Retrieve all unique key names in a section.

The sort order of the returned strings is NOT DEFINED. You can sort the names into the load order if desired. Search this file for ".sort" for an example. Only unique key names are returned.

NOTE! This structure contains only pointers to strings. The actual string data is stored in memory owned by CSimpleIni. Ensure that the CSimpleIni object is not destroyed or Reset() while these strings are in use!

Parameters
a_pSectionSection to request data for
a_namesList that will receive all of the key names. See note above!
Returns
true Section was found.
false Matching section was not found.

Definition at line 2282 of file SimpleIni.h.

◆ GetAllSections()

template<class SI_CHAR , class SI_STRLESS , class SI_CONVERTER >
void CSimpleIniTempl< SI_CHAR, SI_STRLESS, SI_CONVERTER >::GetAllSections ( TNamesDepend a_names) const

Retrieve all section names.

The list is returned as an STL vector of names and can be iterated or searched as necessary. Note that the sort order of the returned strings is NOT DEFINED. You can sort the names into the load order if desired. Search this file for ".sort" for an example.

NOTE! This structure contains only pointers to strings. The actual string data is stored in memory owned by CSimpleIni. Ensure that the CSimpleIni object is not destroyed or Reset() while these pointers are in use!

TNamesDepend a_values 
) const

Retrieve all values for a specific key.

This method can be used when multiple keys are both enabled and disabled. Note that the sort order of the returned strings is NOT DEFINED. You can sort the names into the load order if desired. Search this file for ".sort" for an example.

NOTE! The returned values are pointers to string data stored in memory owned by CSimpleIni. Ensure that the CSimpleIni object is not destroyed or Reset while you are using this pointer!

const SI_CHAR *  a_pKey,
bool  a_bDefault = false,
bool *  a_pHasMultiple = NULL 
) const

Retrieve a boolean value for a specific key.

If multiple keys are enabled (see SetMultiKey) then only the first value associated with that key will be returned, see GetAllValues for getting all values with multikey.

Strings starting with "t", "y", "on" or "1" are returned as logically true. Strings starting with "f", "n", "of" or "0" are returned as logically false. For all other values the default is returned. Character comparisons are case-insensitive.

SI_Error CSimpleIniTempl< SI_CHAR, SI_STRLESS, SI_CONVERTER >::Save ( OutputWriter a_oOutput,
bool  a_bAddSignature = false 
) const

Save the INI data.

The data will be written to the output device in a format appropriate to the current data, selected by:

SI_CHAR FORMAT
char same format as when loaded (MBCS or UTF-8)
wchar_t UTF-8
other UTF-8

Note that comments from the original data is preserved as per the documentation on comments. The order of the sections and values from the original file will be preserved.

Any data prepended or appended to the output device must use the the same format (MBCS or UTF-8). You may use the GetConverter() method to convert text to the correct format regardless of the output format being used by SimpleIni.

To add a BOM to UTF-8 data, write it out manually at the very beginning like is done in SaveFile when a_bUseBOM is true.

Parameters
a_oOutputOutput writer to write the data to.
a_bAddSignaturePrepend the UTF-8 BOM if the output data is in UTF-8 format. If it is not UTF-8 then this value is ignored. Do not set this to true if anything has already been written to the OutputWriter.
Returns

◆ SaveFile() [3/3]

template<class SI_CHAR , class SI_STRLESS , class SI_CONVERTER >
SI_Error CSimpleIniTempl< SI_CHAR, SI_STRLESS, SI_CONVERTER >::SaveFile ( FILE *  a_pFile,
bool  a_bAddSignature = false 
) const

Save the INI data to a file.

See Save() for details.

Parameters
a_pFileHandle to a file. File should be opened for binary output.
a_bAddSignaturePrepend the UTF-8 BOM if the output data is in UTF-8 format. If it is not UTF-8 then this value is ignored. Do not set this to true if anything has already been written to the file.
Returns
SI_Error See error definitions

◆ SetBoolValue()

template<class SI_CHAR , class SI_STRLESS , class SI_CONVERTER >
SI_Error CSimpleIniTempl< SI_CHAR, SI_STRLESS, SI_CONVERTER >::SetBoolValue ( const SI_CHAR *  a_pSection,
const SI_CHAR *  a_pKey,
bool  a_bValue,
const SI_CHAR *  a_pComment = NULL,
bool  a_bForceReplace = false 
)

Add or update a boolean value.

This will always insert when multiple keys are enabled.

Parameters
a_pSectionSection to add or update
a_pKeyKey to add or update.
a_bValueValue to set.
a_pCommentComment to be associated with the key. See the notes on SetValue() for comments.
a_bForceReplaceShould all existing values in a multi-key INI file be replaced with this entry. This option has no effect if not using multi-key files. The difference between Delete/SetBoolValue and SetBoolValue with a_bForceReplace = true, is that the load order and comment will be preserved this way.
Returns
SI_Error See error definitions
SI_UPDATED Value was updated
SI_INSERTED Value was inserted

const SI_CHAR *  a_pKey,
long  a_nValue,
const SI_CHAR *  a_pComment = NULL,
bool  a_bUseHex = false,
bool  a_bForceReplace = false 
)

Add or update a numeric value.

This will always insert when multiple keys are enabled.

Parameters
a_pSectionSection to add or update
a_pKeyKey to add or update.
a_nValueValue to set.
a_pCommentComment to be associated with the key. See the notes on SetValue() for comments.
a_bUseHexBy default the value will be written to the file in decimal format. Set this to true to write it as hexadecimal.
a_bForceReplaceShould all existing values in a multi-key INI file be replaced with this entry. This option has no effect if not using multi-key files. The difference between Delete/SetLongValue and SetLongValue with a_bForceReplace = true, is that the load order and comment will be preserved this way.
Returns

◆ SetMultiKey()

template<class SI_CHAR , class SI_STRLESS , class SI_CONVERTER >
void CSimpleIniTempl< SI_CHAR, SI_STRLESS, SI_CONVERTER >::SetMultiKey ( bool  a_bAllowMultiKey = true)
inline

Should multiple identical keys be permitted in the file.

If set to false then the last value encountered will be used as the value of the key. If set to true, then all values will be available to be queried. For example, with the following input:

[section]
test=value1
test=value2

Then with SetMultiKey(true), both of the values "value1" and "value2" will be returned for the key test. If SetMultiKey(false) is used, then the value for "test" will only be "value2". This value may be changed at any time.

Parameters
a_bAllowMultiKeyAllow multi-keys in the source?

Definition at line 510 of file SimpleIni.h.

◆ SetMultiLine()

template<class SI_CHAR , class SI_STRLESS , class SI_CONVERTER >
void CSimpleIniTempl< SI_CHAR, SI_STRLESS, SI_CONVERTER >::SetMultiLine ( bool  a_bAllowMultiLine = true)
inline

Should data values be permitted to span multiple lines in the file.

If set to false then the multi-line construct <<<TAG as a value will be returned as is instead of loading the data. This value may be changed at any time.

Parameters
a_bAllowMultiLineAllow multi-line values in the source?

Definition at line 524 of file SimpleIni.h.

◆ SetSpaces()

template<class SI_CHAR , class SI_STRLESS , class SI_CONVERTER >
void CSimpleIniTempl< SI_CHAR, SI_STRLESS, SI_CONVERTER >::SetSpaces ( bool  a_bSpaces = true)
inline

Should spaces be added around the equals sign when writing key/value pairs out.

When true, the result will be "key = value". When false, the result will be "key=value". This value may be changed at any time.

Parameters
a_bSpacesAdd spaces around the equals sign?

Definition at line 537 of file SimpleIni.h.

◆ SetUnicode()

template<class SI_CHAR , class SI_STRLESS , class SI_CONVERTER >
void CSimpleIniTempl< SI_CHAR, SI_STRLESS, SI_CONVERTER >::SetUnicode ( bool  a_bIsUtf8 = true)
inline

Set the storage format of the INI data.

This affects both the loading and saving of the INI data using all of the Load/Save API functions. This value cannot be changed after any INI data has been loaded.

If the file is not set to Unicode (UTF-8), then the data encoding is assumed to be the OS native encoding. This encoding is the system locale on Linux/Unix and the legacy MBCS encoding on Windows NT/2K/XP. If the storage format is set to Unicode then the file will be loaded as UTF-8 encoded data regardless of the native file encoding. If SI_CHAR == char then all of the char* parameters take and return UTF-8 encoded data regardless of the system locale.

Parameters
a_bIsUtf8Assume UTF-8 encoding for the source?

◆ SetValue()

template<class SI_CHAR , class SI_STRLESS , class SI_CONVERTER >
SI_Error CSimpleIniTempl< SI_CHAR, SI_STRLESS, SI_CONVERTER >::SetValue ( const SI_CHAR *  a_pSection,
const SI_CHAR *  a_pKey,
const SI_CHAR *  a_pValue,
const SI_CHAR *  a_pComment = NULL,
bool  a_bForceReplace = false 
)
inline

Add or update a section or value.

This will always insert when multiple keys are enabled.

Parameters
a_pSectionSection to add or update
a_pKeyKey to add or update. Set to NULL to create an empty section.
a_pValueValue to set. Set to NULL to create an empty section.
a_pCommentComment to be associated with the section or the key. If a_pKey is NULL then it will be associated with the section, otherwise the key. Note that a comment may be set ONLY when the section or key is first created (i.e. when this function returns the value SI_INSERTED). If you wish to create a section with a comment then you need to create the section separately to the key. The comment string must be in full comment form already (have a comment character starting every line).
a_bForceReplaceShould all existing values in a multi-key INI file be replaced with this entry. This option has no effect if not using multi-key files. The difference between Delete/SetValue and SetValue with a_bForceReplace = true, is that the load order and comment will be preserved this way.
Returns
SI_Error See error definitions
SI_UPDATED Value was updated
SI_INSERTED Value was inserted
