C++ :: Reading From A File With Characters And Numbers
Apr 17, 2014
I need to open a file that has multiple lines that look something like this, " black box 100.01 33.5 78.93". What this shows is the coordinates of the black box. Lines will have different objects with different coordinates. I need to create a loop that will read this file and tell me when a black box is found by displaying a message. I don't need to know how to create this file. I don't need to display the entire file but rather have it search for black boxes.

I think it comes from having to align the data in the output file. How to start this is to use a function to read in all the characters using a while loop. Then read in all the digits in a separate function. When it comes to outputting the data in the correct format I'm lost, so for now if I could figure out the functions that would be awesome. A final note we have not gotten to using strings so the I'm trying to use getc, fgetc, and ungetc.
Write a program to compute average grades for a course. The course records are in a single file and are organized according to the following format: Each line contains a students first name, then one space, then the students last name, then one space, then some number of quiz scores that, if they exist, are separated by one space. Each student will have zero to ten scores, and each score is an integer not greater than 100. Your program will read data from this file and write its output to a second file. The data in the output file will be the same as the data in the input file except that there will be one additional number at the end of each line: the average of the students ten quiz scores.
The output file must be formatted such that first and last names appear together in a left justified column that is 20 characters wide. Each quiz score should be listed in a right justified column that is 4 characters wide, and the average should appear in its own right justified column that is 10 characters wide.
Note that if a student has fewer than 10 scores, the average is still the sum of the quiz scores divided by 10; these students are assumed to have missed one or more of the quizzes. The output file should contain a line (or lines) at the beginning of the file providing appropriate column headings. Use formatting statements to make the layout clean and easy to read.

Simple program to convert files to XML files. However I am trying to narrow down why my code is not working. I am reading a line that looks like "2001 Joe Dirt Los Angeles", then the next few lines are followed by text and the the fifth line looks like "---End of Description---".
So here is the file
2001 Joe Dirt Los Angeles
Home is where you make it
Best movie ever(but not really)
But seriously
---End of Description---
Here is example code to test the process
string line;
while(dataFile >> line) {
getline(dataFile, line);
cout << line << endl;
}
My returning output is
[space]Joe Dirt Los Angeles
[space]Home is where you make it
[space]Best movie ever(but not really)
[space]But seriously
My test code is skipping the date on the first line but replacing it with a space. Then it is skipping my fifth line which reads "---End of Description---". Now if I take the code out of the while loop and hard code in five lines of output (x5 getline(dataFile,line); cout << line << endl;) then my code works as expected. I get all of the information. Date and the fifth line.
It looks like when I am testing for the EOF it is also taking in the numeric value at the beginning of the first line. However, that does not explain why it is dropping that fifth line.

I have some files for input that look like this:
Carlitos, Gauleses , Terra das Vagabundas, SN., 350, 12, 5.83
EMPIRE STATE, Gauleses , EMPIRE STATE, FÊNIX™, 298, 12, 7.00
bigorna, Gauleses , Aldeia d bigorna, DDT@D, 318, 12, 10.44
akemif, Romanos , Aldeia Akemif, DDT@D, 19, 12, 13.04
Black Mason, Gauleses , Kindorim, DDT@D, 424, 12, 15.03

I get this data from a site and I copy paste them to create a .txt file for input (I do this my self, no program involved).
When the program runs it ends up like this on netbeans:
0 [main] program 2336 open_stackdumpfile: Dumping stack trace to program.exe.stackdump
When I type the input file my self it works fine. When I copy the data from the site that the problem occurs, it looks like those strange characters are causing the problem (notice the ????? are some drawings on text).

but when i run it, and give the path of file in the cmd, this appears
stack around the variable 'file_name' was corrupted
given that i put the path in cmd as shown

I need to read Unicode characters from a file. The only thing I need to do from them is to extract their Unicode number.
For example if file has u I need to extract its corresponding Unicode number.

So I am supposed to create a program that reads a file and replaces "<" with "<" , ">" with ">" , "&" with "&" , and " " " with """.........
The program takes a file "test.txt" and reads it, replaces the characters above with the corresponding strings, and then writes the output to "scrubbed.txt".
A sample input would be: <something>
and the output would be: <something>
for some reason I am getting garbage In my new file. What am I doing wrong with the code?
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<stdio.h>
#include<ctype.h>
#include<string.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv){
char *inFileName = NULL;
char *outFileName = NULL;
FILE *instream = fopen("test.txt", "r");
FILE *outstream = fopen("scrubbed.txt", "w");

So the plan is to create a word search by reading in characters from a file into an array. This is my code so far, nowhere near finished but have encountered a problem already:
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#define ROWS 20
#define COLUMNS 20
int main()
{
[Code]...
My question is to do with the section highlighted in red... I can't really see why it is not printing out my array (wordsearch), it's probably very basic but I have no C experience so am not too confident in what I'm doing.

I currently have a .csv file that should only contain numerical values however there are errors in some columns that mean there is text included. I am wondering what the best way of going about removing these characters would be.
I am looking at using : str.erase(std::remove(str.begin(), str.end(), 'xxxxxxx'), str.end());
For this I will need to read my data into a string and then remove the alphabet from that string. I am currently doing this like so (I use the '?' as a delimiter because I know there are none in my file).
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <algorithm>
using namespace std;
string Weather_test;
char chars[] =
[Code] ....
The problem with this is I don't know what to do around the chars[!eof] part.

My code is working all except one part I'm just completely stuck on and it's probably something simple. There are 14 numbers in the file. The way I have the code now it will tell me there are 14 which is correct but it displays my low number as 0 and it should be 6. If I change if(infile) to if(infile >> num) it will read the correct low number as 6 except now it says there's only 13 numbers and it's not reading the first number in the file which is 23 so it skews the whole program.
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
/*This program pulls numbers from a file and displays various information such as the sum of the numbers, average, highest and lowest. */
using namespace std;
int main() {
ifstream inFile;//Declare the variables including the input file stream.

This is supposed to read a series of 16 bit binary numbers as short ints in the array memory. However, it only appears to be reading the first number.
Code:
short int memory[256];
void readFile(){
//read input file into int memory[]
FILE *ifp;
ifp = fopen("proj1a.dat", "r"); //input file

I am reading certain int's at a time from one int number stored in a file. I'll explain. I am working on an ezpass project and basically I have to store an int in a file, and from that file, write a program that separates numbers into information.
For example:
the number 204601324 is stored in a file. I know how to open a file from terminal, but the issue is reading the individual numbers. The first number is weight class (2). My program has to display that number as the Variable "weightClass." how do I get it to do that? In addition, miles allowed is the number "0460." How do I get that number to display as the variable "oMiles?"

I am trying to read numbers stored in a txt file to populate an integer array. The problem is that the numbers read from a file have to be treated as strings and then I am not able to put them in an integer array.
I tried the stoi function to convert the string in 'box' into an integer but I am getting an error.
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main() {
int amount=10;
int k[amount];

How do I get c++ to read a file containing six numbers - a1, b1, a2, b2, a3, and b3 - that are constants for the following equations:
clubangle(degrees) = a1 + b1*0.85*clubnumber
clublength(inches) = a2 + b2*1.05*clubnumber
clubspeed(yards/s) = 1.1 * (a3 + b3 * swingnumber) * (clublength(inches)/40)^2;

I am attempting to read in a file that has 4128 sets of 21 numbers separated by commas and write it into an array. I now know that in order to use fseek, I have to make my array a character array, but I need my function to read in decimals (ex: 0.172635). I'm reading in
0.102598,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0.307 793,0.000000,0.410391,0.102598,0.000000,0.102598,0 .102598,0.000000,0.000000,0.102598,0.102598,0.8207 83,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000
and keep getting numbers like 48 49 50.
Code:
void CSread(char filename[100], char array[22], char array2[22], unsigned int arraysize)
{
char genename[32];
double temp = 0;
FILE *CSfile;
CSfile = fopen(filename, "r");
");

This program is suppose to read a matrix file , and the first getline is suppose to get the file header but it appears that 'line' doesn't take in any value other than empty thus causing all the problem , I tried to put cin.getline() in front of it to take away the /n created by the cin before it , but it doesn't work . When I debug the program when the arrow points to the string line , this error appears
line<Error reading characters of string.>std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::allocator<char> >
I tried to initialize string line=NULL too , doesn't work either.

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.

I need to convert characters in a input file to numbers in output file and display both the characters and numbers in a console window.Only 7 numbers can be displayed, the rest needs to be dropped.The input file contains the following data, with one number per line:
CALL HOME
GET LOAN
Hi THERE
BYE FOR NOW
For example, once the first number in the input file has been processed, the console window should display the following: CALL HOME 225 5466.
The output file should now also contain the number:
225 5466
Currently my console is displaying the following:
Enter the input file name.
infile.txt
Enter the output file name.
