C++ :: Opening User Input File Name?

Jun 17, 2013

why this is looping in an error message. I am inputting the entire file name when I run the program and it just keeps falling into my "if(!inputfile)" statement. Let me know if there is anything I'm just not seeing.

#include "File.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>

C++ :: Error Opening File In Input

Nov 8, 2014

ofstream infile;
infile.open("Input.txt");
if(infile.fail()) {
cout << "Error Opening File in Input" << endl;
system("pause");
exit(1);
}

So I'm trying to see if it fails, but if i change "Input" name would the computer just create a new file name of it for example if i change "Input" to "asdf" the computer is just going to create "asdf" how do i fix it.

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;

C :: User Input To File

Mar 18, 2013

I'm creating a program that should create a structure of a list of people entered by the user; the only problem I'm having is with the %c. When I have it, the loop only occurs once; if I put a %s, the loop occurs up to 25 times, but it doesn't write to the text file. Here is the code:

Code:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<string.h>

C/C++ :: Prompt User To Input File Name To Open

Aug 31, 2014

I'm trying to develop a programme which, amongst other things, prompts the user to enter the filename which is to be opened. This is what my code looks like currently:

char filename[20];
FILE *myfile;

printf("Enter the full file name you would like to open:");
scanf("%s", filename);

[Code] .....

However, this only ever returns File Not Found - the file is stored in the same directory as the program, and I have tried looking up this issue online, to no avail ....

C++ :: Correct Answer From File - Cin Getting Wrong User Input

May 31, 2014

So I'm writing a program that will read a text file and it will do certain "functions" the text file will be like a game, and the program will be able to run many different games. The problem i'm having is in one of the "functions" i believe it's the one meant to get a correct choice from a file and a user input and put them into strings, it gets the wrong input. I know this because i tested both strings the "function" writes too. it gets the correct file answer but the user input is always "c" for some reason.

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <stdlib.h>
using namespace std;
int progfiles() {

[Code] ....

This is the code, most likely the section that is surrounded with "///" contains the problematic "functions." This is the command Line output...investigate why they're dieing or continue on your journey?(i-investigate/c-continue) got input and answer

i
c
i
Press any key to continue . . .

The got input and answer are tests to make sure it got both, the first 'i' is my input, the 'c' is what it says my input is, and the 'i' is the correct answer from the file. this is the part of the file that the program reads to get that output

"1 Do you want to go investigate why they're dieing or continue on your journey?(i-investigate/c-continue) 2 8 i 7 3 4 You continue on picking up speed to get to the egg first.. and.. Oh No, You accidentally bumped into the walls! 2 12 5 1 You go over, and as you realize the walls are acidic and that's why the other sperm are dieing.. 2 6"

C :: Opening File - Read / Write

Aug 5, 2013

this is my read/write functions based the read from the last post! then went nuts with it! used the %19s%*s on the write to the file, solved all the probs on the read side! but any refining on this would be great. This is another program that i started with the forums, and started going my own direction!

Code:

void WriteAccount(int account,char *a[])
{
FILE *fptr;
char Memo[20];
char buff[20];
double Amount;
struct tm *sTm;
}

[code]....

the a[] is a string array with bank account names, and Account is the number on the menu based list.

C Sharp :: Opening A File By Using The Extension?

Apr 24, 2013

The code below is used to return a file path.

 private string BrowseJournalFile(string startRelativePath)
        {
            string str = "Journal files (*.log)|*.log|All files (*.*)|*.*";
            return PathTools.BrowseFile(startRelativePath, str, this.RootPath);    
        }

So once I click browse I get something like "E:New Files" But there is this .log file in this folder which I want to automatically store in this path.

Right now I have to click on this .log file and then select open. Is there a way I can directly load the file.I have been trying to use the FileStream but no luck.
