  1. POC++ Curl, how to read return data?
    text
    copied!<p>I am trying to use curl and <a href="http://www.deanclatworthy.com/imdb" rel="nofollow">http://www.deanclatworthy.com/imdb</a> to get movie and tv show information from IMDB. I am using the simple.c example from <a href="http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/simple.html" rel="nofollow">http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/simple.html</a></p> <pre><code>cout &lt;&lt; "Type a movie name: " &lt;&lt; endl; getline(cin, searchTerm); replace(searchTerm.begin(), searchTerm.end(), ' ', '+'); CURL *curl; CURLcode res; string temp; temp = "http://www.deanclatworthy.com/imdb/?q=" + searchTerm; curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) { curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, temp.c_str()); /* Perform the request, res will get the return code */ res = curl_easy_perform(curl); /* Check for errors */ if(res != CURLE_OK) fprintf(stderr, "curl_easy_perform() failed: %s\n", curl_easy_strerror(res)); /* always cleanup */ curl_easy_cleanup(curl); } </code></pre> <p>This is my output, if i search for The Dark Knight Rises: </p> <p><strong>Type a movie name:</strong> The Dark Knight Rises <strong>{"imdbid":"tt1345836","imdburl":"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1345836/","genres":"Action,Crime,Thriller","languages":"English","country":"USA,UK","votes":"390735","stv":0,"series":0,"rating":"8.8","runtime":"165min","title":"The Dark Knight Rises","year":"2012","usascreens":4404,"ukscreens":0}</strong></p> <p>My problem is that i want the text that is returned, with the information, to be put into an array so i can get it up nice, e.g.</p> <pre><code>movieInto[14] = *array* </code></pre> <p>and then i can call the different parts of the array if i want to title, rating, year and so on. It is already formatted as an array but i cant figure out what to call to get the into. </p> <p>Hope the bright minds in here can help me out =)</p>
