I using libconfig C api for parsing properties file. I got null value in first two properties.
test.properties
x = "hello";
y = "world";
z = "test" ;
config.c
char * getValueByKey(char * file_name , char * key) {
config_t cfg;
config_setting_t *setting;
const char * value;
config_init(&cfg);
if (!config_read_file(&cfg, file_name))
{
printf("\n%s:%d - %s", config_error_file(&cfg), config_error_line(&cfg), config_error_text(&cfg));
config_destroy(&cfg);
exit(1);
}
if (config_lookup_string(&cfg, key , &value)){
config_destroy(&cfg);
printf("Hello %s\n",value );
return (char *) value ;
}
else{
printf("\nNo 'filename' setting in configuration file.");
config_destroy(&cfg);
}
}
int main(){
char * x = getValueByKey("test.properties" , "x");
char * y = getValueByKey("test.properties" , "y");
char * z = getValueByKey("test.properties" , "z");
printf("Values of X : Y : Z = %s : %s : %s", x, y, z);
}
After run my programme I get only Z value.
output:
Values of X : Y : Z = : : test
I try many sample I first two properties value is null;
When you are calling config_destroy()
library will free all the memory allocated by it. So before calling config_destroy()
you need to save your result some where else.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <libconfig.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
char value[100];
char * getValueByKey(char * file_name , char * key,char* value1) {
config_t cfg;
config_setting_t *setting;
const char *value;
config_init(&cfg);
if (!config_read_file(&cfg, file_name))
{
printf("\n%s:%d - %s", config_error_file(&cfg), config_error_line(&cfg), config_error_text(&cfg));
config_destroy(&cfg);
exit(1);
}
if (config_lookup_string(&cfg, key , &value)){
strcpy(value1,value);
config_destroy(&cfg);
//printf("%s:%s\n",key,value1);
//printf("Hello %s\n",value );
return (char *) value1 ;
}
else{
printf("\nNo 'filename' setting in configuration file.");
config_destroy(&cfg);
}
}
int main(){
char * x = getValueByKey("test.properties" , "x",value);
printf("X = %s\n", x);
char * y = getValueByKey("test.properties" , "y",value);
printf("Y = %s\n", y);
char * z = getValueByKey("test.properties" , "z",value);
printf("Z = %s\n", z);
