C++ :: Reading Information Out Of File?

Apr 12, 2014

I need to read some infos out of a .txt-file.

The problem is that i dont know how to do because 'getline' won't work i think.

the file looks like this:

*******************
Inventory of MyInventory
*******************
Some info
More info
-------------------
000 Toys 6.25
a short description
126/44 Cards 2.25
some text
*******************
Inventory of MyInventory2
*******************
Some info
More info
-------------------
000 Toys 6.25
a short description
126/44 Cards 2.25
some text

So what I need to know:

- the name of the Inventory (MyInventory, MyInventory2...)

- the numbers in each row (000,126/44...)

- the name what it is (Toys,Cards...)

- the price (6.25,2.25...)

- and the description(problem here is, that there are not the same amount of words for each description)

I tried it with 'getline' but this is not working because the lines are so different each time.

C :: Reading From File Certain Information

Jul 31, 2013

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//FUNCTION: vDelEditStudents()
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

void vDelEditStudents() {
FILE *file = fopen("C:UserForCtxtgiro.txt", "rb");
Student StdStruct;
fseek(file, -sizeof(StdStruct) , SEEK_END);
fread(&StdStruct, sizeof(StdStruct), 1, file);

[Code] ....

The problem is that ... Even though it is reading from a a file, it is not reading a one struct. In this piece of code I'm trying to read the last struct, which should be k... The struct itself is here

Code:

typedef struct {
char StudentName[30];
uint16 StdAge;
uint16 StdNumb;

}Student;

And here is my input and output:

INPUT:
4
1 g 1 2
1 h 3 4
1 j 5 6
1 k 7 8

C++ :: Reading Tab-delimited File - Information Of A Graph

Jan 10, 2013

I have a network data file that looks like this:

2476
112
213
321
426
531
634
7312
843
945
...
...
...

The first row has two values - number of nodes (24) and number of links (76). Then it has all the link details (76 rows of data). I want to read this data. I have written out the following function:

First the structure definitions:

typedef struct {
int arcno;
int tail;
int head;
} arc_data;
typedef struct {
int forwardStarPoint;
int reverseStarPoint;

[Code] .....

The code is able to read the first line of data (i.e. it displays the numNodes and numArcs as 24 and 76). But then I get a lot of errors like this one

`Access violation writing location 0xCCCCCCD8`.

The program then crashes.

C++ :: Reading Information Off The Web?

Sep 9, 2013

I am building a program that will read from a particular web page. I have written it so that it will parse the page correctly, but I can only do it for a downloaded page right now. I would like for it to work simply with the URL.

I have seen things about "screen scraping", though I don't quite understand what it does - I think it's more for just parsing it, which I can already do.

If it is possible to automatically download that file, that is fine as well.

If it matters at all, the pages I am reading from are stories on Fanfiction.net.

C/C++ :: Receiving Information From A File?

Nov 13, 2014

I want to receive an information from a file. For instance, you created a file name "sample.txt" via fstream and stored a bunch of people's name, address, phone number in that "sample.txt".

Now, I want to see what's stored in this file. Suppose, I wanted some particular guys address, phone number by just typing is his/her name.

How to relate the name with address and phone number of particular people? I just started the file creating so I wanted to know about it.

#include<iostream>
#include<conio.h>
#include<fstream>
#include<string>
using namespace std;
int main() {
ofstream outputData;

C :: Add More Student Information To The Specific Txt File?

Mar 12, 2013

I'm trying to add more student information to the specific txt file. I did struct my student information and separated it with an array with max size of 200.

The inside of my current file looks like

Toshi
Aka
Nonal
Donald

The first one represent student[0] and next one is student[1] and so on till student[199]. Right now, only 4 space is occupied, which means the array has information till student[3] but not from student[4] (I guess it has null condition).

What I want to do is, I want to add a new student information to student[4] and till student[199] once at each time.

So, my prompt will look like
Would like to add a new student? Y/N
(if yes goes to below statement and exit if NO)
Hi. Please enter the information of new student. ___________
Student added. Please press any key to continue.

If the key is pressed, it goes back to my initial prompt and continues till I press N.

I sure I'm not using for loop to do this thing, because I'm adding student name one by one.

However, the array is already occupied by other student name till student[3] so, I want to add a new student information to student[4] (I don't want to overwrite the current information). And if student[4] is occupied, then [5] and so on.

C++ :: Parse A Text File That Contains Information

Jul 31, 2014

I am trying to parse a text file that contains information and i cant seem to get started. For example, the text file looks like this:

idx=929392, pl= 12, name= someperson
age=19
state=ma
status=n/a

idx=929393, pl= 12, name= someperson2
age=20
state=ma
status=n/a

idx=929394, pl= 12, name= someperson3
age=21
state=ma
status=n/a

I want to parse the name and age into another text file like this format:

someperson 19
someperson 20
someperson 21

possibly include other attributes next to the age like idx?

C :: Read Data File And Emit Various Bits Of Information

Mar 31, 2014

For my intro to c programming class, our homework requires us to read a data file and emit various bits of information. the data file looks like this

#Domain: the URL
#Alexa: some kind ranking, small numbers are better
#Rank: another sort of ranking, big numbers are better

#Domain Alexa Rank Site Name
#------------ ----- ------- ---------
amazon.com 13 1177136 Amazon.com
google.com 1 4533883 Google
youtube.com 3 3637788 YouTube

I've started and am able to get the correct number of lines, and the alexa number, but I keep getting some errors and am just unsure where to correct my code. This is what it looks like;

Code:
// Lexi Anderson
//CS 156
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {

[Code] .....

and once compiled, I get errors.

C :: Take Personality Information From User And Store It In Text File

May 17, 2014

I was trying to make a program in C that could take Personality Information from the user and store it in a text file. Then, when asked, could compare the results to other entries in the so called "data-base" and tell which is the best match. I tried a whole lot but couldn't think of a proper way.

(Stings and File IO are not my strong points)

I am using Code Blocks 10.05 and the standard GCC compiler.

C++ :: Read From A File And Store Information In Separate Variables?

Dec 8, 2014

So I have to read from a file, and store the information in separate variables. My problem is that for some of the information I need multiple words, and for others I don't, so I cant simply store 1 word into a variable and store the next in another in so on. To demonstrate what I mean let me give an example.

Dog Cat Blue Bird Snake White Horse

I am able to store "Dog","Cat","Blue","Bird"...etc in variables but I don't know how to make it so I can store "Dog" in one variable, "Cat" in a second variable. and "Blue Bird" in a third variable. "Snake" would be the 4th and "White Horse" would be the fifth. How can I read a file and manipulate the pointer to grab what I need?

C++ :: Taking Data From Files And Output Information To Another File

Apr 2, 2014

Whenever I run my program, It should be taking this string of information:

Shampoo 10 8.75 87.50
Pen 3 2.50 7.50
Headphones 5 20.99 104.95
MacAir 1 879.23 879.23

Raspberries 6 4.99 29.94
Oranges 5 2.79 13.95
Apples 3 3.85 11.55

From one file and outputting it to another, the finished product should look like:

Shampoo 10 8.75 87.50
Pen 3 2.50 7.50
Headphones 5 20.99 104.95
MacAir 1 879.23 879.23

cheapest item = Pen
most expensive item = MacAir
total cost = 1079.18
shopper = Mary Kay

Raspberries 6 4.99 29.94
Oranges 5 2.79 13.95
Apples 3 3.85 11.55

cheapest item = Oranges
most expensive item = Raspberries
total cost = 55.44
shopper = Winnie B. The Pooh

When I run my code however, it doesn't get past shampoo and will continue to add shampoo to the total cost infinitely. How can I change the code to produce the proper information?

CODE:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <float.h>
#include <sstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
ifstream input_file;
ofstream output_file;
