I have written tonnes' of cfg readers in my time, and every time i need one, i tend to write a completely new one, and im abit tired of that :O) What would be really nice, was an XML reader - but the ones ive looked at that is available, are way too big (even the small ones which normally is shown in the NG's is too big). The thing i need, which my previosly readers cannot do - is deviding sections with subsections: Ex (where a / b /c is sections - v is variables): A -B -V -V --C --V --V --V --/C -/B /A This is exactly what XML provides (i know XML is alot more - which also is my problem, since the add-ons out there tend to implement all this too ). Do any of you - either know a XML class / source that only is able to read / and get the variables + data from sections - or do any of you have any suggestions on what i should do ( i would be rather happy not to do a reader more, its soooo boring). Anyway - thanks alot.

Anyway - thanks alot. Dr. Dobb's Journal had an article w/ source code on writing a mini XML parser: Parsing XML http://www.ddj.com/articles/2001/0101/ The included parser is *way* bare bones, but it does read XML and is pretty easy to use. I successfully used it in an embedded project I was working on after I found the other available sources (such as xerces) way to large for my particular needs. Source is composed of about 4-5 .cpp files and required only minor modifications for my needs.
