GetPrivateProfileString Reading Section With Multiple Keys

[vcstarter]

I want to know if it is possible to use GetPrivateProfileString to read a section where the keys are duplicate. I try it, but I can only retreive one key. This is my file format

[Section Name]
KeyOne = ItemOne
KeyOne = ItemTwo
KeyOne = ItemThree

For any reason, I can only retrieve item one. I want to know and how if I can format GetPrivateString in a form, where the first time it executes it will retrieve keyone from the first line, then go to the next line to read the next keyone.

No.

Put 2 red sweaters in a box, and ask a bystander to get 'the red sweater' out of the box. The first question you get is 'which red sweater'. That's why you can only retrieve 1 item.

Why are you having the same names in the first place ?

In this case, I may need to use getline from std library to retrieve the items which are duplicate. So how can I use getline in this particular case?

A better question is why do you have duplicates and how can you remove them.

I try to use getline, but getline only stop reading before delimiter. I want to start reading after '=', not before. Is there a way I can modify it.

streamFile.getline(myChar, 10, '=');

this is not an .ini file. It is an special purpose text file

Sure looks like an INI. Regardless, why not come up with unique names?

[vcstarter]

I cannot modify the file. It is given as is

Then write your own parser!
It is nor difficult: read each string, search for the '=', left part (before '=') would be the key and the rest (after the '=') - the value.

OK I will do so, this is basically what I am working on now
