Documentation

See .\docs\index.htm

Use with CMake

# Define the path to the ATRC configuration file
set(CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH "${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/ATRC_2.2.0/cmake")

# Find ATRC library using its config file
find_package(ATRC REQUIRED)

# Define project
project(MyProject)
add_executable(MyProject src/main.cpp)

# Include header files
target_include_directories(MyProject PRIVATE ${ATRC_INCLUDE_DIR})

Example program

#include <ATRC.h>

using namespace atrc;
int main()
{
    ATRC_FD fd = ATRC_FD("file.atrc");
    if (!fd.CheckStatus()) {
		std::cout << "File parsed unsuccesfully!" << std::endl;
		return 1;
	}
    std::cout << fd["var_name"] << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

Example resource file

#!ATRC
# define variable
%var_name%=value
# define private variable
<%priv_var>=value

# define block
[block_name]
# define key
key=value

# reference variables
reference=variable values are: %var_name%, %priv_var%
# output: "variable values are: value, value" 

# insert variables
insert=insert a variable here: %*%

# insert whitespaces
whitespace=&whitespaces&
# output: " whitespaces "

# insert reserved char
reserved=reserved characters: \%, \&, \#
# output: "reserved characters: %, &, #"

# insert variables in a sequence. These start counting from 0
insert2=insert second variable here: %*1% and first one here: %*0*

# Preprocessor tags:
# Ignore following amount of rows
#.IGNORE=<Amount_of_rows_to_skip>
#.IGNORE=1
