C++ & parsing streams

[The Determinant]

Hi,

I need to write and read (parse) a stream of bytes from a file. The
data will be stored/read with C++'s read/write file functions. The
data will be tagged and store in an XML like format. Is there any C++
code that‘s available for free? I Google the internet but I'm not
finding any source code. I found only some libraries. I need the
actual C++ header and cpp (cxx) files. Can someone point me to
something?

Thanks

Re: C++ & parsing streams

You say "...XML like format..." which to me means not XML but perhaps some
proprietary or "home grown" format. So your chances of finding a specific
parser for that are slim. However, std::string and STL have some facilities
for string parsing. Also, even plain old std::getline() can chop up an
input stream into delimited chunks.

See http://www.boost.org/libs/spirit/index.html for an embedded C++ parser.
