Say I have written to a text file in this format:
key1/value1
key2/value2
akey/withavalue
anotherkey/withanothervalue
I have a linked list like:
struct Node
{
char *key;
char *value;
struct Node *next;
};
to hold the values. How would I read key1 and value1? I was thinking of putting line by line in a buffer and using strtok(buffer, '/'). Would that work? What other ways could work, maybe a bit faster or less prone to error? Please include a code sample if you can!
