C++ :: Read A Text File And Store Contents Into 2D Array?

Aug 2, 2014

read a text file and store the file contents into a 2D array?

100 101 102 103 104 105
106 107 108 109 110 111
112 113 114 115 116 117
118 119 120 121 122 123
124 125 126 127 128 131

Here's my code:

const int ROWS = 5;
const int COLS = 6;
int array[ROWS][COLS];
ifstream inputFile;
inputFile.open("table.txt");

When i run the program and try and display the array, it doesn't work.

C++ :: Store Contents Of Text File Into Char Array?

Apr 22, 2014

I am trying to store the contents of a text file into a char array. However the function i am using ifstream member function get(); seems to stop working when fed with certain characters. Is there another solution besides the get() function that will accept all types of characters from files?

char text[1000];
for (int i = 0; i <= textlen; ++i)
{
text[i] = text_in.get();
}

C :: Transferring Contents Of One Character Array To Another Function

Feb 1, 2014

In the function *expandArrayList and *trimArrayList I need to allocate either more memory or less memory to the given array. Right now I am using malloc on a new array and then transferring the elements of the original array to the new array, freeing the original array, and then reassigning it to the new array so it's size and capacity are either bigger or smaller than the original. I feel like there has to be a simpler way to do this with either realloc or calloc, but I cant find sufficient information on either online. Would I be able to use either to make this easier and the code cleaner?

Also, these are character arrays that contain several character arrays inside them, so I was wondering what the best way to transfer the contents of one array to the other would be. I have gone between

Code:

//example
for (i=0; i<length; i++){
newarray[i] = oldarray[i];
}
and
Code: for (i=0; i<length; i++){
strcpy(newarray[i], oldarray[i]);
}

but I'm not sure which one (if either) should work.

The 'ArrayList.h' file that is included contains the structure ArrayList, as well as the function prototypes for the functions listed below.

Here is the structure in ArrayList.h:

Code:

#define DEFAULT_INIT_LEN 10
typedef struct ArrayList {
// We will store an array of strings (i.e., an array of char arrays)
char **array;

[Code] ....

Here is my code:

Code:

//included libraries
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include "ArrayList.h"
//Create arraylist

[Code]....

C :: Printing Contents Of A File - Prints One Extra Character Not Present In The File

Feb 12, 2013

I'm writing a program that stores records into a file and then these records can be printed out. A last name, first name, and score is stored to be exactly 36 characters long (using leading spaces to pad) making it easier to retrieve specific records. For example, three records stored in the file would like like this: (the underscores are simply to illustrate the distance, they are not in the file itself)

_______lastname_______firstname__90__________lname __________fname_100___________last___________first __60

When printed out, the names are formatted as follows:

lastname, firstname: 90
lname, fname: 100
last, first: 60

However, when I print them out this is what I get:

lastname, firstname: 90
lname, fname: 100$
last, first: 60H

For some reason, for any record after the first, an extra character is added to the end. These characters are not in the file, so I was thinking that the array for some reason wasn't being filled completely, (the array is initialized to size 36 and 36 characters are read from the file using fread) so it was printing out a random character assigned to the 36th array position. Except the character never changes, (always a $ for record 2, H for record 3, l for record 4 if i remember) and I've tried reducing the array size or the number of character read and it's the string that gets altered, the random character always remains. I figure the problem must be in the print_records function (appending seems to work no problem). Anyway here is my print records and appending records code.

Code: /*
- Prints a single record stored in the file pointed to by ifp.
*/
void print_record(FILE *ifp, int record) {

C++ :: Store User Input Then Display Array Contents?

Jan 10, 2015

I'm coding a hangman game. I'm trying to store user entries so i can output them to show the user what they have already entered. Problem is that it's not display anything at all.

I'm trying to store multiple characters of course, and then display all characters stored.

char guess[27]={0};
cin >> guess[26];
int hit=0;
for(int i=0; i<len; i++) {
if( guess[26] == hidden_word[i] ) {
hit++;
select_word[i] = guess[26];
if(strcmp(hidden_word,select_word) == 0) {

[code]....

EDIT: I also get the error - Stack around the variable 'guess' was corrupted. At the end of the game.

C :: Store Character Array In Reverse Order Then Display Reversed Array

Jun 14, 2013

The program should store a character array in reverse order then display the reversed array. I have also included in the code that will display the actual characters into the array as it loops through. So I know the characters are being stored, but why doesn't it display the entire string when I call it?

Code:
#include<stdio.h>
int main(){
char str[50];
char rev[50];
printf("Enter Desired Text: ");
scanf ("%[^

Is it just my compiler?

C++ :: How To Load Contents Of Text File Into Array

May 12, 2013

So I am working on a FUSE filesystem and I currently have the need to load the contents of a text file into an array.

My array initialization looks like: char array[max_entries][PATH_MAX] = {NULL}

The reason I want to pass it by reference is that I want my function to return two values essentially. One a specific char* and the other an array like I initialized. My function proto type looks like:

char* load_meta(char* list[max_entries][PATH_MAX], char* path, int mode);

How I'm trying to call the function:

someChar = load_meta(&array, path_name, 1);

Within the function I try to edit the array by deferenceing it once, like this:

strcpy(*list[i], file_entry); // This seg faults

C/C++ :: Read Contents From A File And Use As Size Of 2D Array - Error C2087 And C2133

Oct 20, 2014

Goal:
Read contents from a file and use as the size of a 2d array.

Problem:
C2087: Line 27 : "a1" : missing subscript
C2133: Line 27 : "a1" : unknown size

Code :
int rows;
int columns;
ifstream fObject("inputdata.dat");
fObject>>rows;
fObject>>columns;
char a1[rows][columns];

I am not sure why this is occurring, or if there is a better way to do it.

C :: Read From Stdin (File) Character By Character

Nov 10, 2013

I have to optimize a code for below scenario. I am reading stdin (a file redirected to stdin) character by character. How many chars are going to come is not known. After every few chars there is a seaparator. e.g $ as below

rhhrkkj$hghjhdf$ddfkrjt

While reading, if the separator arrives I'm processing the string stored before that separator and then continue reading stdin in same fashion, till EOF. I am using getc(stdin) to read chars.

Using gprof I can see most of the program time is spent inside main() , for this reading logic. Rest of the program is just some insert and search operations. I am getting time of 0.01 secs at the moment, want to reduce further.

C++ :: How To Read TXT File Character By Character

Oct 6, 2013

In my program, I'm supposed to read a text file (the name of which is given to me as a command line paramater, as long with an integer), and display the text in a specific format (each line can only be as long as the integer). However, I'm having trouble even reading the text file. I don't know the syntax. I'm only allowed to edit the function that does the formatting, and the code in that is

void typeset (int maxWidth, istream& documentIn)

I don't know how to 'read' the file, as most examples online are ifstream, or openFile or something like that. What I want to do is just read the first character of the file, and continuously keep reading characters until the end of the file.
