C/C++ :: Reading Strings From A Text File And Printing Them
Feb 26, 2015
I need a program that reads the number of lines of a file and then several (max of 20) lines of text from a .txt file so an example of the .txt file is: 2 This is the first string This is string number 2 So it first reads the 2 and then reads the two lines of text. It stores the text in an array of pointers. The code i have so far is:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<ctype.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
[Code].....
It doesnt give me any errors but all it does is keep running and doesnt print anything out kind of like its in an infinite loop although i dont see how that could be possible.

I wanted to improve the game from my last thread. I want to read and store a question in this format: Code: Who invented the BALLPOINT PEN?
A - Biro Brothers
B - Waterman Brothers
C - Bicc Brothers
D - Write Bothers
But when I use fgets() to read the string, it reads all the ' ' literally instead of outputting a real newline. Like if it read the above question, I want it to print something like this:

I have been skimming and searching but dont know how to word the search just right to find what I need to know. I have written simple stuff with the support of tutorials like weight conversion or loops counting up to a set number. Nothing amazing. The other day I found out how to input and print a string rather than a single text character which i though was bad ass. I even got it to read multiple strings on a single line and found a way to read multiple lines. I can even format it to read both integers and characters on the same line as long as I know the predefined format.
On to my question... How do I read multiple lines with both carecters and integers. for instance:
nissan 1996
toyota 1998
or more comples like
nissan gtr 1996
toyota markii 1998
I want to use
int year;
char make[10]; maybe need to use char make[10][10]; for an array i would guess.
char model[10]; optional for the extra data
but reproduce what i read in a different order. say...
1996 nissan
1998 toyota
vice the original format.
this is what I have tried.
Code: scanf("%s %s", &make,&year);
//The way I seen to read multiple lines was on here
scanf("%[^/t]", %make);
But this wont let me separate the two into two differnet definded data types. Let alone use printf to display them in reverse order.

void readpatient() {
int count = 0;
f = fopen("patient.txt","r");
while(!feof(f)) {
printf("
%d",count++);
p2=new patient();
[Code] .....
Here is what I've tried. I'm trying to read a file aND print stuff in it, but my while loop isn't ending up.. What should i do? It only prints patient name 1 time and after that it prints nothing.
removing system("pause");
results in an endless loop.

I am trying to read hex data from a file (not just hex values in text format). I was able to read it (02 EC) with "fread" into an char before but I need to change the Hex value into an integer in decimal.
I already read about strtol but I would prefer reading the hex Value into an integer.
Here is my code so far:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
int main() {
int itrack1[1];
int itrack2[1];
[Code] ....

It appears that when you enter command line arguments or use fgets() to input a string you can assign that string to another string variable using the assignment operator. But when you read from a file, you can't do that, you get a segfault. It seems the only way to get around that is to malloc the string and use the strcpy function.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
struct person {
char *names[2];
};
void readFile(struct person p){
FILE *file = fopen("names", "r");
[Code]....

I am reading a file then printing the data onto the other file. It is working, however when I check to see if each variable is being properly set after reading the file a issue arises.
Example of the file being read
Code:
Vehicle PV50CAN passed camera 1 at 05:33:26.
Vehicle W867BRO passed camera 1 at 05:33:29.
Vehicle KQ63ARU passed camera 1 at 05:33:38.
Vehicle K954ITQ passed camera 1 at 05:33:40.
Vehicle V220MXB passed camera 1 at 05:33:42.

How can I do this using c++?
never was taught file function in c++

I need to write a program that reads a paragraph from a file (i dont know its length) and i need to read it with spaces
i thought of using getline() function but there were problems:
1) how to detect End Of File
2) how to use getline while reading from file
and thought of reading one character at a time but it didnt read spaces

We are generating emails for freshman students, however, the system probably due to server overload fails to generate some emails. So I'm working on this c code( probably was a wrong choice) to search for regexp matching the generated emails and deleting from the list of students and propective emails.
I"m currently at the stage of making sure the code can find all the matching regexp from the student list file before deleting! But the code fails to read all matching regexp?
Code:
//Filename: SearchReplace.c
//Usage: This searches for lines in a file containing a particular work and deletes the lines.
//Licence: GNU P.L.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <ctype.h>
[code] .....
What I'm missing. It recognizes some regexp and fails to recognise some. Been staring for hours!

I am trying to read strings to an char array from an .exe file and then i would check some of the strings, but the problem is that the only thing that is read from the file is the first string (MZ) and an 'square' that is some incorrect character. I am using fread to read from the file. Here is my code:
FILE * pFile;
long lSize;
char * buffer;
size_t result;
pFile = fopen("my_file.exe", "rb");
if( pFile == NULL) exit(1);
fseek(pFile,0, SEEK_END);
[Code] ....
(I want to read the whole file, its not that big)...

int main() {
ifstream inFile;
ofstream outFile;
inFile.open("in.data");
outFile.open("out.data");
if (!inFile || !outFile) //to display error if input files are invalid

I'm writing a code which has to read a text from a file. In this text, there are some symbol and numbers (ex, This is $19 of....). Those symbols and numbers should be replaced with the words from the other file. i.e.
transformed file
This is just an $19 of what the $5 should obtain.
And $19 should be replaced from association file
19 example
5 program
The result:
This is just example of what the program should obtain. I'd like to save the first file content into an array of strings and the same for the text of second file.

I would like to program a simple finite element solver in c++ (I'm a relatively new programmer by the way). This is the issue, I have a text file with all the information of the model arranged in matrices; an input file would look something like this:
*nodes
1 0 0 0
2 10 15 0
3 17 2 0
4 -4 -1 0
*elements
1 1 2
2 2 3
3 3 4
*material
1 2.0e5 0.30 7.85e-9
2 7.0e4 0.21 2.11e-9
*loads
1 0 0 0
4 0 0 0
So, i want to read this text file and get each of the "*" matrices in its own array. The size of the matrices is not know.

I am trying to read lines from a .txt file like this:
// "file.txt"
This is the first line.
This is the second line.
To do this, I tried using the following code:
int main() {
std::ifstream data;
data.open("file.txt");
[Code] ....
The output I want is:
This is the first line.
This is the second line.
However, all I am getting is:
This is the first line.
I can't quite see why this isn't working. I am decently familiar with file streams in C++, so I thought I would know what I was doing, but apparently not.

the code is used to read the text and take the first 4 pieces of info but i do not know how to do it. i have already created the text file and moved it into the source. i am using visual studios 2012. In 2010 the text file would show a relative path, it doesn't in 2012
