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?

Suppose i have a text file with ":" as delimiter, how to i find the average value of each column? For e.g. First column will be (3+2+5)/3 and second column will be (61+87)/2 for the third column.
Sample text file
================
3:290:61:100:
2:50:
5:346:87:
I have tried using getline in while loop, but it seemed more complicated because i think it requires much more than that.

I have this project for school where I basically need to write a program that will take any text file and convert it into html code.
string line;
int lineCount = 0;
while (!inFile.eof()) {
getline(inFile, line);
cout << line << endl;
lineCount++;
}
cout << lineCount - 1 << " lines of text read in this file." << endl;
I have this block of code to print each line of the text file into the terminal window and count the number of lines printed. But I don't know how to make it change a single character or set of characters to something else. For example, if a line of text begins with the number "1", I want to be able to change it to "<h1>".

I'm trying to make a program where it reads a text file which contains "blocks" of questions like:
Type: multiple_choice
Question
Num_options: number of options
a) option1
b) option2
c) option3
d) option4
Letter of answer
and
Type: short_answer
Question
Answer text
what I'm trying to do is use parse those blocks and have it get handled by the classes, MultipleChoice and ShortAnswer.
I'm planning on using getline as a virtual function and have an if statement like
"if (string == "multiple choice)
** then get it handled by the MultipleChoice class "

So when I create the EF and use generate model from the database, I included the sensitive info into the connection string. Now I want to get the user to input password, userID, schema name, host into the connection string. I use Oracle as my database, so there is a need to put the schema name in it also.... How do I accomplish this task? Been trying to get it work but unsuccessful so far...

Perhaps my original wording on this was confusing so I will ask a different way.
if I have a text file called
data.txt
and it has the following in it.
12345
67890
12345
67890
how would i read this information into an array called
int data[4][5]
This is in C.

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.

how I can read information from a text file into an array so afterwards I can display the array and it will show the contents of the text file?
the information inside my text files consist of names and numbers like so: "Collins,Bills 80" should I separate the numbers and names into two separate text files one for names and one for numbers?
My code so far is this:
#include <iostream> //for cin and cout
#include <fstream> //for input/output files
#include <conio.h> //for getch
[Code]....

Write a program that reads the telephone.dat file and displays its contents on the console. The program should allow the user to add new entries to the file.
I have saved the file into a resource file within visual studio and I am trying to run the code to where the file will be shown when I run the program. I know that the program is running and the file is there because if i misspell the filename it will give me the error message. I don't know how to make the contents of the file display.
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main() {
string input;
fstream dataFile;

I have a text file which contains many sentences. I am trying to extract only the numerical values from the string that conatins characters,numbers and white spaces from the file. I want to seperate the characters and numbers into different parts.
for example: the file contains sentances as given below.
I have to go to school for 10min.
You will come here in 15min.
He stayed here for 20min.
from the above sentances, I want to seperate " I have to go to school for " and "10" and put them into two different variables and also 10 should be in integer format.

I am working on a program where I am reading in a text file to be parsed to load data objects into their appropriate classes. I have a class to load in this file and to parse its contents. I am at the point where I would like to include the ability to have both C and C++ style comments in this text file. My current class has a constructor that takes in const std::string for its file name. Upon construction I have a while loop that calls a member function getNextLine() as long as this is true this loader class object then calls parseGui(). All of this works correctly so far. Within the function getNextLine() looks like this:
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// getNextLine()
// Returns True If It Got A Line Of Text (Could Be Blank If It Is All Commented Out Or
// If It Truly Was A Blank Line). False Is Returned When There Is No More Data In The File
bool GuiLoader::getNextLine() {
if ( !_file.readLine( _strLine ) ) {
return false;
[Code] ....
As you can see this getNextLine() method reads in a single line of text and saves it into its member variable which is a std::string. It increments the line number, then a utility function trims out leading and ending white spaces. The next part is where this class calls a member function to remove comments. It is in here where I need to parse the string to look for comments either "//" C++ style line comments or "/* ... */" C style block comments that can span multiple lines. I have tried many different ways to go about doing this, and I am stuck on the C style comments. A note to consider is this: the way this code is designed is reading in a line of text from the file into a string variable and in doing so it is not logical for me to read in the complete file and do a pre-parse scan or analyzer.
This is what I have so far, however there are still cases that this code will fail on
// ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// removeComments()
void GuiLoader::removeComments() {
const unsigned tokenLength = 1;
static std::string::size_type indexA;
static std::string::size_type indexB;
const std::string commentStartingToken( "/" );
const std::string blockCommentStartingQualifier( "*" );
[Code] .....
An example of where this code will fail is when it encounters a single '/' any where on a line of text as it goes into an infinite loop. I am not sure on how to go about skipping this lonely '/' and advanced the index to look for a possible next '/' that belongs to a '//' or a '/*'. I know that this is sort of trivial, but for some reason or another I am having writers block.

I'm using the Split method to parse line in a csv file. The following code works if there are no commas in the text of my data.
string csvLine;
string[] splitLine;
csvLine = "Jim Borland,1234,Never dreams in code";
splitLine = csvLine.Split(',');
But if I have commas in the some of the text as below I get then wrong output. So I need split on a commas which are not enclosed in double quotes.
string csvLine;
string[] splitLine;
csvLine = ""Jim,C,Borland",1234,"Never dreams in code"";
splitLine = csvLine.Split(',');
The output I want is:
Jim,C,Borland
1234
Never dreams in code
I found this :
If your strings are all well-formed it is possible with the following regular expression:
String[] res = str.split(",(?=([^"]|"[^"]*")*$)");
The expression ensures that a split occurs only at commas which are followed by an even (or zero) number of quotes ... and thus not inside such quotes).
Nevertheless, it may be easier to use a simple non-regex parser.
But the .split gives me an error and .Split doesn't work either.

I have a text file with the following format
//MAIN OBJECT
Object = ControlNetwork
Created = 2013-01-28T12:26:17
//FIRST CONTROL POINT OBJECT
Object = ControlPoint
PointId = 1
[Code] ....
I want to get the X and Y coordinates of the each control points from 2 images.
For example, from the above file i want to retrieve such information:
-PointID=1 and point coordinates are 802,725(from image1) and 480,708 (from image2)
-PointID=2 and point coordinates are 317,130(from image1) and 128,116 (from image2)
There can be millions of points in such a text file. So what is the best way to parse these files?

In the assignment we are forbidden to use fscanf(). I have been trying to get this to work, but I've started to realize that I do not have a complete understanding of what strtok() actually does. I'm getting this warning when debugging: "assignment makes integer from pointer without cast."
This warning happens when assigning str to goal and assist, and I think it is because they are, when dereferenced, integers. The code below correctly assigns the name into the correct spot, but leaves nonsense data in the goal and assist arrays.
ex:-7880, -7888 file example: NAME GOALS ASSISTS JOHN 1 2
Code:
void readLinesFromFile( FILE* Ptr, int* goal, int* assist, char** name, int lines ){/*
* Reads lines from files and populates the arrays with the corresponding info.
*/
int index;
char hold[ MAX_LINE ] = { 0 };
char* str = NULL;
[Code] .....
From what I understand about strtok(), it returns a string, and takes in a character array and a key value that tells it when to stop. In the online examples I've seen, they use NULL in the first field. I'm not sure why.

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//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

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.

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() {

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.
