I have the following configuration, I know how to loop through each of the sections with config_lookup(), but I do not know how to find the name of each of the section!
downloads = {
john = {
configid = 1;
status = 1;
configname = "John's File Server";
configtype = 0;
ipaddress = "192.168.1.100";
username = "test";
password = "test";
};
jill = {
configid = 3;
status = 1;
configname = "Jill's file server";
configtype = 0;
ipaddress = "10.10.20.50";
username = "test";
password = "test";
};
};
I was wondering how to get the section name ie., jack & jill with libconfig. I know how to get the values in jack and jill, because I know the param names beforehand, but jack and jill is user configed. Shortened code goes like this-
config_t cfg;
config_setting_t *setting;
int i = 0, count = 0;
if(!config_read_file(&cfg, filename))
return false;
if((setting = config_lookup(&cfg, "downloads")) != NULL)
{
count = config_setting_length(setting);
for(i = 0; i < count; ++i)
{
// do stuff
}
}
config_destroy(&cfg);
Any idea how to do it? Thanks in advance
Ok so since Ian didnt post an answer, I am. Credit goes to Ian.
config_t cfg;
config_setting_t *setting;
int i = 0, count = 0;
if(!config_read_file(&cfg, filename))
return false;
if((setting = config_lookup(&cfg, "downloads")) != NULL)
{
count = config_setting_length(setting);
for(i = 0; i < count; ++i)
{
config_setting_t *nodes = config_setting_get_elem(setting, i);
const char *section_name = = config_setting_name(nodes); // Section name, no need to free, the library manages that;
}
}
config_destroy(&cfg);
