PGNP: PGN Parser

PGNP is a Portable Game Notation (PGN) parser. More details about the PGN specification can be found here.

How to use it ?

PGNP can be used as a shared library in your project. You only need to include the header file and linking the .so file to your executable.

Example

Load PGN from file:

pgnp::PGN pgn;
try {
    pgn.FromFile("pgn.txt");
}
catch(...){
    // Handle exceptions
}

Load PGN from string:

pgnp::PGN pgn;
try {
    pgn.FromString("YOUR PGN CONTENT HERE");
}
catch(...){
    // Handle exceptions
}

Various API calls:

pgn.HasTag("Round"); // Check if tag exists try { pgn.STRCheck(); // Perform a Seven Tag Roster check } catch(...){ // Handle exceptions } std::vectorstd::string tags=pgn.GetTagList(); // Get a list of tags std::string tagValue=GetTagValue("Date"); // Get the value of a tag Access to moves:

pgnp::HalfMove *move=pgn.GetMoves(); // Get the tree of half moves int length=move->GetLength(); // Get the number of half moves in the move MainLine // Public members: // move->variations contains variations of the current move // move->isBlack boolean that says if current half move is for the black side // Check pgnp.hpp for more infos for other field (comments, count, etc.)
