Cfg Parsing

[TheDoctor]

So I'm making my level code generator, and want to make an option that parses level code from the cfg. The thing is, I'm not quite sure how. I can just barely read a simple file with a colon delimiter, but the cfg has large amounts of whitespace. I was wondering how one would do this. I'm making this in Java (I know blargh) by the way.

CURRENT OBJECTIVE: Find a line that has "Levels {" that doesn't have a semicolon anywhere in font of it.

Look at ORR's CFG parser. It'll help.

Whitespace and whatnot is ignored with a simple, "bool start_recording".

It'll keep reading the cfg till it finds something other than whitespace, if you did it right.

if(last_read_char != ' ' && last_read_char != '\t' && last_read_char != '\n')

{

          start recording = true;

}

There. That should be enough help. C++ is close enough to Java for you to be able to port that code snippet yourself.

Eh, I see what you mean, but I have to use Java Scanners to do this. I have to read up a bit more on some things, but thanks.

Edit: More of the parser code might help.
