Before I really read this post properly, I need more coffee,
BUT
Feel free to post the core of your C++ code so I can see what you want,
rather than getting lost in any of your potential lite-c errors.

C++ is more my native language than lite-c...

ALSO :: a block of sample text file will help,
and is this lite-c or c-script? (looks like c-script to me)

ALSO :: Cant figure out what wants to go where, the hack is confusing
things too much.
I'll be waiting on your C++ version.
