SectionReader Class Reference

Detailed Description

In the LGF file extra sections can be placed, which contain any data in arbitrary format. Such sections can be read with this class. A reading rule can be added to the class with two different functions. With the sectionLines() function a functor can process the section line-by-line, while with the sectionStream() member the section can be read from an input stream.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

SectionReader ( std::istream &  is )

inline

Construct a section reader, which reads from the given input stream.

SectionReader ( const std::string &  fn )

inline

Construct a section reader, which reads from the given file.

SectionReader ( const char *  fn )

inline

Construct a section reader, which reads from the given file.

Member Function Documentation

SectionReader& sectionLines ( const std::string &  type, Functor  functor  )

inline

The first parameter is the type descriptor of the section, the second is a functor, which takes just one std::string parameter. At the reading process, each line of the section will be given to the functor object. However, the empty lines and the comment lines are filtered out, and the leading whitespaces are trimmed from each processed string.

For example let's see a section, which contain several integers, which should be inserted into a vector.

@numbers
12 45 23
4
23 6

The functor is implemented as a struct:

struct NumberSection {
  std::vector<int>& _data;
  NumberSection(std::vector<int>& data) : _data(data) {}
  void operator()(const std::string& line) {
    std::istringstream ls(line);
    int value;
    while (ls >> value) _data.push_back(value);
  }
};

// ...

reader.sectionLines("numbers", NumberSection(vec));

SectionReader& sectionStream ( const std::string &  type, Functor  functor  )

inline

The first parameter is the type of the section, the second is a functor, which takes an std::istream& and an int& parameter, the latter regard to the line number of stream. The functor can read the input while the section go on, and the line number should be modified accordingly.

void run ( )

inline

This function starts the batch processing.
