Thanks! It's mainly good old C. But it's still useful.

It is not actually a best of doing it, it works but better way is possible.

I think you can actually optimise it.

Such as...?
As I said: "It's one way of doing it".

Of course, I know there are limitations, such as lack of Unicode support, no ATL, etc. etc. Sleepy | :zzz:

But at least a gave the guy a solution to his problem. I haven't find another solution here, just a bunch of questions and vague suggestions how to solve the problem in question.
Anyone, feel totally free to give the guy a complete solution.

True. Kakan actually gave me a solution that worked. I think i cannot expect him to give me the best optimised code at the begining itself, that too immediately.

Thanks to all

IMO, that's what this site is all about. Helping people, since noone has all the answers. Big Grin | :-D

Well I assumed you knew how to tokanise a zero seperated strings, quite basic thing to do.

I didnt say the solution is bad, All i wanted to point out that if you want to use the code for production code, then you have to optimise that code before using it.

Dude, can you optimise it?

I can well optimise it, dont have the time. Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

Since you are asking for me to optimise it , i can understand that you dont want to spend too much effort on ur work.

I have optimised and modified the code to suit my need. I never meant to say that you don't know it, but I was trying to tell you gave me some idea, but Kakan gave me the same with a proper sample.

Many thanks for your time.

yes, kakan gave you the solution after we had couple of converstation to pinpoint the exact problem.

Ah, yes of course. If there was a start you gave it and you were the first to reply too. I thanked you there i think. OMG | :OMG:

full of gurus here. I'm a bit scared. I am good at chess, not at MFC. LOL.

Did you take note of the return value...

The return value is the number of characters copied to the buffer, not including the terminating null character.

So why don't you loop through the string instead of checking for NULL. This way you will get the full settings.

Here each string is seperated with a NULL char. So while looping you can replace these NULL chars with a semicolon or some special char.

Any Difference between vc++ and MFC?

and a similar, but more simple solution:

TCHAR chpValue[32767];
int ret = GetPrivateProfileSection(_T("WorkingDirs"),chpValue,startLen,m_IniFileName);
TCHAR* pBuf = chpValue;
while (pBuf[0] != '\0') {
      CString buf(pBuf);
      // do something
      int len = buf.GetLength();
      pBuf += len+1;
}

Helly can any one please let me know any difference between MFC and VC++.
Interviewer asking me as that
1. Rating on VC++
2. Rating on MFC
3. Rating on COM
So does it mean that VC++ AND MFC are different?
Any conclusions please.

Great people does great things.

VC++ generally means that you know programming for windows OS. i.e using its SDK.
MFC - its is a Framework provided by microsoft to develop application quickly and in OOP way it is developed using VC++.
COM - Component object model is again a technology on MS world where both C/C++ can be used.

VC++ is a programming language that can create programs to run on any system(windows, UNIX, CE, palm, XBox etc), if you have the correct compiler for that system.

MFC is a tool to make programming easier, with much code being generated automatically(although I personally feel it's overly convoluted)

COM is a tool to allow use of code from other programs and other languages with relative ease. Eg with COM you can write a program in C++ or pascal(or any language that supports com) that allows you to have an Excel spreadsheet running in the middle of your program. COM & OLE are debatably the same thing, but I think they are both getting old now.
