ConfigDataWriter

ConfigDataWriter is a C++ class designed to save and load configuration data in various formats, including binary, text, CSV, and INI files. It provides a flexible interface for managing application settings and data serialization in C++ projects.

Features

• Save and load configuration data in binary format
• Save and read simple integer configuration files
• Save integer and float data in CSV format
• Save and parse INI configuration files
• Set and retrieve configuration buffers
• Tokenize and read CSV files

Usage

The main usage is demonstrated in test.cpp, which shows how to:

• Create configuration data structures
• Save and load configuration data in different formats
• Read and write CSV and INI files

Example

#include "ConfigDataWriter.h"

ConfigDataWriter config("config.cfg");
ConfigData data = { ... };
config.SaveCfgDataBinary(data);
config.LoadCfgDataBinary(data);
