Class ParseLine reads a file and splits up each line into words delimited by one or more blank space characters or by quotes. Lines may be continued in the file using a backslash resulting in up to 1024 character command lines. Words from the command line can be accessed using the getArg() or operator[] methods. The words may also be converted to numeric values with getDouble(), getHex() or getInt().

A line parser is typically used in the following manner:

     ParseLine pl("command.file");
     while (pl.getLine() >= 0) {
        std::string arg1 = pl[0];
	unsigned int hex_arg = pl.getHex(1);
        ...
     }

This class has no child classes.
