Extracting `vector<string>` from a Store

[tdealtry]

Is it possible toGet() an element of a Store as a vector<string>? I see that Get() has a specific function for when you get it as a string, but there is no such specialist function for vector<string>, so it's maybe not correctly setup yet? Or maybe I just don't understand how to define the vector in the config file correctly?

What I've found is

• You should define a vector inside [], and use , as a separator
• Quotes are optional
• Given the output of Print() & Get() it seems that [Monday, Tuesday] or ["Monday", "Tuesday"] are both valid syntax

And specifically the errors

• I don't see a way of getting the first element of the vector without a prefix of [
• If you have a space, everything after the space (before the next , or ]) is ignored

void testit(ToolFramework::Store s, std::string variable) {
  std::vector<std::string> v;
  std::cout << std::endl << variable << "? " << s.Get(variable, v) << std::endl;
  for(const auto & val : v)
    std::cout << val << std::endl;
}

int main() {
  //Setup a store & fill it
  ToolFramework::Store s1;
  s1.Initialise("testconfig");

  s1.Print();

  for(int i = 0; i <= 20; i++) {
    std::stringstream ss;
    ss << "test" << i;
    testit(s1, ss.str());
  }
}

testconfig

test1 Monday
test2 [Monday]
test3 ["Monday"]
test4 [ Monday ]
test5 [ Monday]
test6 [ "Monday"]
test7 [ "Monday" ]
test8 Monday Tuesday
test9 [Monday Tuesday]
test10 [Monday, Tuesday]
test11 ["Monday", "Tuesday"]
test12 ["Monday Tuesday"]

Giving output

test1 => "Monday"
test10 => "[Monday, Tuesday]"
test11 => "["Monday", "Tuesday"]"
test12 => "["Monday Tuesday"]"
test2 => "[Monday]"
test3 => "["Monday"]"
test4 => "[ Monday ]"
test5 => "[ Monday]"
test6 => "[ "Monday"]"
test7 => "[ "Monday" ]"
test8 => "Monday Tuesday"
test9 => "[Monday Tuesday]"
