can map return the address of another map

[kvineeth]

I have foll classess:

1. Class Parse_Map{
GetAlgDetails(string file, map<string,string> &algname);
};

this class has a method GetAlgDetails which will parse an xml file and store the contents in a map.

2. I will be getting the details of the xml files at runtime .There can be several of these xml files. So for each xml file I need to have a unique map name. And these map has to be available to other class members.
So If i have a main code in which I have a class Populate.

Class Populate{
map<string, ptr> maptmp;
map<string, string> alg_list;

void populate(string xmlname){
map<string, string> alg_list;
Parse_Map obj;
obj.GetAlgDetails(xmlname, alg_list);
maptm[xmlname] = &alg_list;
}
};




3. Now I want to access each of the map created by populate from another file. how can i do it?

Hi,
If u want to store a map inside another map then the declaration shuld be like this

//map<string, ptr> maptmp; instead of this
//have like this
map<string, map<string,string> > maptmp;
map<string, string>  alg_list;
 
 

After populating one map push it to the maptmp map with the name as the index.
I think this will be a better approach instead of storing the address.

Thanks
Raghuram

Is it really the map has to have an unique name or is the real requirement that you have a different Populate object for each xml file???
