This class can be used to read any text file containing numeric data in columns such as

1   19    3.56    2
2   29    3.66    1
3   39    3.26    -1

or

1,19,3.56,2
2,29,3.66,1
3,39,3.26,-1

i.e. columns of data separated by whitespace, commas, tabs, or any other separator character

Comment lines will be ignored if the signature for the beginning of a comment is given to the constructor, e.g.

KVFileReader data_file("#"); // comment lines begin with '#'
 
KVFileReader data_file2("//"); // comment lines begin with '//'

To open the file to be read, give the full path (shell characters & environment variables can be used) to method OpenFileToRead():

auto ok = data_file.OpenFileToRead("$SOME_ENV/my_file.dat");
if( ok )
{
   [file was opened successfully]
}

Each line of the file can then be read in using one of the following methods:

ReadLine(const KVString& pattern = "")
ReadLineAndAdd(const KVString& pattern = "")
ReadLineAndCheck(Int_t nexpect, const KVString& pattern)
ReuseLineAndCheck(Int_t nexpect, const KVString& pattern)

The values of the parameters which were read, if any, can then be retrieved using

KVString GetReadPar(int pos);
Int_t GetIntReadPar(int pos);
Double_t GetDoubleReadPar(int pos);

Assuming we are reading either of the files given above, the following examples illustrate usage:

KVFileReader p;
p.OpenFileToRead("data.txt");
 
while (p.IsOK()) {
   if (p.ReadLine(" \t,") == KVFileReader::ReadStatus::OK) {
      std::cout << p.GetDoubleReadPar(0) << " " << p.GetIntReadPar(1) << " " << p.GetDoubleReadPar(2) << " " << p.GetIntReadPar(3) << std::endl;
   }
}

will give the following output:

1 19 3.56 2
2 29 3.66 1
3 39 3.26 -1

If you want to check the right number of parameters is being read:

KVFileReader p;
p.OpenFileToRead("data.txt");
 
while (p.IsOK()) {
   if (p.ReadLineAndCheck(4," \t,") == KVFileReader::ReadStatus::OK) {
      std::cout << p.GetDoubleReadPar(0) << " " << p.GetIntReadPar(1) << " " << p.GetDoubleReadPar(2) << " " << p.GetIntReadPar(3) << std::endl;
   }
}

will give the following output:

1 19 3.56 2
2 29 3.66 1
3 39 3.26 -1

And finally if you want to cumulate several lines of parameters into a single list:

KVFileReader p;
p.OpenFileToRead("data.txt");
 
while (p.ReadLineAndAdd(" \t,") == KVFileReader::ReadStatus::OK) ;
 
for(int i=0; i<p.GetNparRead(); ++i){
   std::cout << i << ":" << p.GetReadPar(i) << " ";
   if(!((i+1)%4)) std::cout << std::endl;
}

will give the following output:

0.1 1:19 2:3.56 3:2
0.2 5:29 6:3.66 7:1
0.3 9:39 10:3.26 11:-1
