Does anyone know a good C++ class to read (and possibly also write) INI files on Windows Mobile? Ideally this class sould work on Windows mobile 2003, 5 and 6 and be public domain but other alternatives may be interesting.

See this question How to read config file entries from an INI file, and this followup Help improve this INI parsing code, in which I figured out how to do the parsing myself. I can't say what I came up with is the be-all and end-all but it could be a good start.

Also, this article was mentioned Cross-platform INI configuration files.

  • Thanks! I would like to avoid reinventing the wheel, so I'm sorry I won't try to improve the parsing code. But your link with CSimpleIni, the Cross-platform INI configuration files seems to be quite promising. – Name Nov 11 '08 at 21:49

Try SimpleIni http://code.jellycan.com/simpleini/ as mentioned at CodeProject.

It is C++, single header file, template library with an MIT licence (i.e. commercial use is OK). Include it into your source file and use it. It is cross-platform, supports UTF-8 and legacy encoded files, and can read and write the INI file largely preserving comments and structure, etc. Easiest to check out the page.

It's been around for a while and is appears to be used by quite a number of people. I wrote it and continue to support it.
