[sword-devel] SWConfig questions

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Manfred,

SWConfig uses an stl multimap.  This is similar to a map, but also 
allows duplicates.

We've subclassed multimap and added back many of the nice accessors that 
map provides, like:

SWConfig config("~/.sword/InstallMgr/InstallMgr.conf");
config["General"]["PassiveFTP"]="true";

But, like you've pointed out, FTPSource has multiple entries, so you 
can't use the map accessors.  You'll need to use the multimap ones. 
Here is an example:

ConfigEntMap::iterator sourceBegin;
ConfigEntMap::iterator sourceEnd;

sourceBegin = config["Sources"].lower_bound("FTPSource");
sourceEnd = config["Source"].upper_bound("FTPSource");
while (sourceBegin != sourceEnd) {
   // do you stuff here
   sourceBegin++;
}

An example of manipulating InstallMgr.conf directly with SWConfig can be 
seen here:

http://svn.crosswire.org/biblecs/trunk/apps/InstallMgr/RemoteMntFrm.cpp

I think we've since added management functions to the InstallMgr API 
class, but I can't remember.  If we haven't, we should have by now.

http://svn.crosswire.org/sword/trunk/src/mgr/installmgr.cpp

Here's the multimap docs.

Hope this helps.
