boost-spirit

I'm a spirit beginner I'd like to parse an imperial string value into a struct using spirit. The input should accept following syntaxes: 5'3"1/2 5'1/2 3"1/2 the struct imp_constant looks like this, please note stream operator below, I'll print results as this operator does: struct imp_constant { explicit imp_constant(unsigned int feet=0 ,unsigned int inch=0 ,unsigned int fracn=0 ,unsigned int fracd=1) :feet_(feet),inches_(inch),fracn_(fracn),fracd_(fracd){} unsigned int feet_,inches_,fracn_,fracd_; }; std::ostream& operator<<(std::ostream& os, imp_constant const& cst) { if (cst.feet_) os <<

I am currently starting with boost::spirit::*. I try to parse a 128 bit string into a simple c array with corresponding size. I created a short test which does the job: boost::spirit::qi::int_parser< boost::uint8_t, 16, 2, 2 > uint8_hex; std::string src( "00112233445566778899aabbccddeeff" ); boost::uint8_t dst[ 16 ]; bool r; for( std::size_t i = 0; i < 16; ++i ) { r = boost::spirit::qi::parse( src.begin( ) + 2 * i, src.begin( ) + 2 * i + 2, uint8_hex, dst[ i ] ); } I have the feeling that this is not the smartest way to do it :) Any ideas how to define a rule so I can avoid the loop ? Update:

I am trying to parse files of the following form: // comment bla bla [sectionname] key = value key2=value2 // comment key = value [anothersection] ... using the following code. Unfortunately, it reports the last eol as an error although all eols at the end should be accepted by: (*qi::eol > -(sectionGrammar > *(+qi::eol > sectionGrammar)) > *qi::eol), Besides I really don't know how to parse comments properly without taking the eol which is required for the next key-value pair which is the reason I didn't placed in in the Skipper (only ascii::blank). The last issue I have is that I don't know
