C++ :: Input And Output Files - Names Should Be Read From Command Line

Aug 3, 2014

I am having an issue with the statement "Both the input and output files' names should be read from the command line." I don't understand what this means or what I need to do.

C++ :: Command Prompt Will Not Disappear After Input Names?

Nov 12, 2014

Here is a code snippet which is a bit annoying.

Code:
cout << "Put in the names of people, press q to exit" << '
';
while((cin >> people_inp) && (people_inp != "q")){
Person *p = newPerson(people_inp);

[Code] ....

The problem of this code is when you put in the names(via cin) and press enter command prompt will disappear. What should I do so that Command prompt will not disappear after I input some names? I mean it disappears without you pressing a key.

C/C++ :: Calling Files From Command Line?

Apr 23, 2015

In the following program I have one input .txt file of random words.

Example:

DOOR FLAG APPLE
CAR

I need to create output .txt file which will invert and print every word in the next row.

Example:

ROOD
GALF
ELPPA
RAC

When I run the program with command line arguments:

program.exe FILEINPUT.TXT FILEOUTPUT.TXT

I get the output same as input.

Here is the program:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<string.h>
void form(char **a,char **b,int n,char* (*t)(char *));
void invert_words(char *);
void form(char **a,char **b,int n,char* (*t)(char *)) {

C/C++ :: Program That Can Merge Files From Command Line In Li

Sep 22, 2014

I have written a C++ program that is supposed to open two text files (prog2a.dat and prog2b.dat) and write the contents of a specified range of lines to an output file (outfile.dat). I wrote a program that based on the example we were given (to take lines 5-15 from the first file and lines 4-12 of the second file and merge them into the output file) works perfectly. However, after asking my professor for some clarification on another part of the assignment, I found out I have not done this correctly. I have the code written so that it will always output the range of lines I mentioned earlier, but the program is actually supposed to allow the user to merge the files from the command line using whatever range they want by typing in the following command:

prog2 in1 5-15 in2 4-12 outfile

But I'm not sure how to tweak my current program to allow this to be done.

Here is the code that I have written, keep in mind that this works properly for the way it is written, but not how it is supposed to work for the purposes of the command line (hopefully that makes sense):

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;
int main() {
// Create output file
std::ofstream outFile("outfile.dat", ios::out);

[Code] .....

Is there any simple way to make this work as I described using the command line? Also, I am supposed to break this up into three files, a header file, the program file, and a test file (the test file contains main() and should close the 3 open files and display any error messages), but I'm getting really confused as to what should go in the header file. I know the header file should contain class definitions and constructors, but don't really know how to make that work for this specific program?

C :: How To Test Program That Opens Files In Command Line

Mar 10, 2014

The below program is supposed to display the contents of all files listed in the command line. When I try to run the program I get the fatal error "Debug Assertion Failed" Expression: file != NULL. I've done some researching on the matter and I gather it might be because I don't have any files listed in the command line?

How to enter files in the command line! I opened the Command Window in Windows XP and tried typing in "C> argc" and "% argc" (argc being the name of the file containing the below program) without any luck.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main (int argc, char * argv[]) {
int ch; // int to hold EOF
int count;
FILE *fp;
for(count = 1; count <= argc; count++) // agrc loop

Aug 15, 2013

I want to be able to write a program where I can record user input but combine it with command line arguments. For example I do a simple getline(); and the user types test how to combine it so it could be like test /q and it gives a different output depending on what additional input was added. Can this be done with lots of different inputs?

C++ :: Voter Program - Input Names And Votes / Output Who Won The Vote

Apr 27, 2013

In my class we were supposed to write a program from the book that inputted the names and votes and the program is supposed to spit out who won the vote. I did this then while i was reading the assignment from the instructor I noticed he wanted the information inputted from a TXT file instead of manually inputting it. I cannot seem to get it to work....

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
#define N 5
char names[N][20];
float votes[N];

[Code] ....

here is the txt file

C++ :: Write A Program That Will Read Names From Input File

Apr 24, 2014

I have a lab with the following instructions:

Manually create an input text file called Lab22BInput.txt with the following data:

Dove
Doe
Alston
Zebra
Egg

Write a program that will read the names from the input file. Print out each of the names read to the screen. The program should go through the list of names and determine which comes 1st in the alphabet. The program should determine how many letters are in this name. Print out the name that comes first in the alphabet and the length of the name.

I have created the input file, and the data correctly outputs to the screen when I run the program. However, I do not know what kind of logic to use to sort them alphabetically and determine the amounts of characters.

So far I have the following:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
string str1, str2, str3, str4, str5;

[Code]...

C++ :: Merging Input And Output Files

May 2, 2014

Write a program that opens two text files (input1.txt and input2.txt) for input and one for output (output.txt). The program should merge the two input files in the output files. While doing the merge, it will read one line from input1.txt and one line from input2.txt and write those in the output file one after other. Then it will read the next line from input1.txt and next line from input2.txt and write them one after other in the output file.

This is my code:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main() {
ofstream myproject;
myproject.open("input1.txt");

[Code] .....

I need to:

1. how to get the second line in the input1.txt file and so on.
2. After the writing in output.txt, count the number of lines in output.txt.
3. write the number of times term ‘line’ appears in output.txt file.

C++ :: Opening And Reading Files With Input / Output?

Oct 15, 2014

I'm in a CIS 143 class which is Introduction to Programming using C++. We've been assigned a lab with little to no detail on how to do the things listed.

The purpose of this lab is to practice the file input and output concepts. For this lab you may assume that the input files exist and contain appropriate data inside of them.

Four separate text files* which contain the following lines, different for each file.

(*: This isn't on the lab, but don't worry about what the name, age, id, and major are. those can be random and I can just change them what they need to be)

Name
Age
Student ID Number
Major

Your program should ask the user which of the four input files they would like to open, and then read the contents from the file. Once the contents have been read in, it should output to both the screen and a file named "output.txt" the four values were read in, arranged as follows:

"Hello <name>! You are a <age> years old <major> student, and your ID number is <ID number>"

Now I am by no means saying "Do it for me". I just need to know how to have a user type file1, file2, file3, or file4, and then have the program open that file, then have the output.txt file arrange the wording into the sentence above.

This is what I have so far and I don't think it is anywhere near correct:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main() {
ifstream inFile;
string file1;
string file2;

[code]....

C :: Why Not The First Line At The Standard Input Read

Mar 21, 2013

Here's my code, it's for a poker hand evaluator

input:
'ad 2d 3d 4d 5d...
...4s 5s 6s 7s 8s'

I think it should go through all the 10 crads and disply the name of each card, but it seems to only do it for the second hand

Code:
include <stdio.h>
#include <ctype.h>
int main( void ) {
char inputtedhand[64];
int z=0, counter=0;
int index;
int i=0,m=0,n=0;

C :: Use Fgets And Sscanf To Read A Line Of Input

May 21, 2014

I'm new to C/C++. I am attemping to use fgets and sscanf to read a line of input, and confirm it is a positive number.My code works great, except for the case of a negative number. When I enter a negative number, my while loop seems to run infinitely, with stdin providng the same input over and over again.

Here's the code snippet:

Code:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#define TEXT_LEN 64
void foo() {
char* inStr = (char*)malloc(sizeof(char)*TEXT_LEN);
memset(inStr, 0, TEXT_LEN);
}

C++ :: Get Last Line Displayed By Another Command Line Window

Apr 14, 2013

I write a program which now works perfectly well. However, I want to make it run at the right time automatically, instead of waiting for a user to start it when needed.

The basic problem is, that in a WinPE environment an exe is running. Unfortunately it would need critical input, which must be inputted perfectly. So, I wrote a program which gets the data and sends it to the other app, by bringing it to the front and presses the keys needed using SendInput().

However, this program should wait for it's cue, then get on the inputting part. It's cue should be the point where the program waits for the first user input with this displayed on the last line:

Text:

My question is: how to listen and check whether the last line displayed is "Text:"?

I've tried with AttachConsole(), but for some reason it opens a new console window. I checked and the PID I'm using is the console window's, so I don't know why that happens.

The few lines I'm trying with:

HWND hwnd = FindWindow(NULL, "Administrator: Command Prompt");
SetForegroundWindow(hwnd);
SetFocus(hwnd);
DWORD process_id;
GetWindowThreadProcessId(hwnd, &process_id);

[Code] ...

Please don't criticize the first line. I know it can be ambiguous, but I modified it, When actually using it, the exe name will be in the title, so it will be unique.

C++ :: Command To Get A Line From The User

char * s;
char * l = fgets(s, 300*5, stdin);
int i = 0;
int j;
int n;

The aim is to have the function return the number of arguments made after assigning each of the arguments to a c string stored in an array of five pointers. This is how I declare this:

int main(void)
int n;
char s0[300];
char s1[300];
char s2[300];
char s3[300];

C++ :: Using File From Command Line

Apr 13, 2013

I'm trying to read in a file specified in the command line but I'm having some trouble. The command line entry specifies the inputfile preceded by '<' and the output file preceded by '>' like so

./program -v < input_file.cmd > output_file.cmd

This is what I've got so far.

int main(int argc,char* argv[]){
string strv="-v";
string input="<";
string output=">";
string str;
string input_file;
const char* in=input_file.c_str();

[Code] .....

This compiles ok, but when i run it using :

./program -v < test1.cmd

I get a segfault, if i cout argc it returns '2' where i would expect for this command line entry, I 'd get 4.

I'm not yet outputting to file, just to the screen so im not specifying an output file yet.
