load .ini files?

[high6]

I wanna make a config.ini file for my program that holds settings. How do you load an ini file in c++?

You use GetPrivateProfileString, just like you would in any other language.

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>
 
 
int main()
{
   // make sure that your buffer is large enough to hold
   // all the characters... the return value of GetPrivateProfileString
   // is the number of characters read.
   // the number '32' below is supposed to be in brackets, but the
   // forum highlighting breaks it.
   char buffer[32];
 
   GetPrivateProfileString("section", "key", "default value", buffer, sizeof(buffer), "myFile.ini");
 
   std::cout << "the value key=" << buffer << std::endl; 
 
   return 0;
}
