C++ :: Reading A File And Storing It In A String
Feb 7, 2013
I know how to do this in c++ with fstream and std::string and getline and so on and so forth. Im writing my code solely in c however. I can't get g++ installed so figured it was a good excuse to learn c instead of using the equivalent c++ abstracts.
My problem is, I'm making a game in c that I have made in c++ but have ran into an issue with my map. I want to read in my map from a file which just looks like this:
Name of Town
* * * * * * *
* * * * * * *
* * * * * * *
etc...
so i tried using fscanf to first read in the name of the town (stored in a char*) then read in the characters (in this case '*')(not including white spaces becuase i can just print those) into another char*. what is the better way to do this?

Is something like this possible and if not how can I make this work?
fscanf(in, "%d %d %d", &i, &x, &arr[i+x]);

I am working on a small c++ project where i read from a csv file with information in this format:
string,string,int
string,string,int
string,string,int
And all of the above information is one person. As is "John,Peter,23" is first name, last name, age. When there are multiple people in a csv file how can i parse through and separate the information in a string and int for later use?

how to read a csv file where the data is seperated with commas so the csv file looks like:
programming,03,60,141,01,W,2015
programming,03,60,141,30,W,2015
Algebra,03,62,102,02,S,2013
Religion,08,98,938,20,F,2014
So i need the name of the course in one variable, the course code (ex 0360-141-01 for line 1) in another variable and the term (ie W2015 for line1). So i got the name done but cant figure out the course code since i need more than one value that is seperated by a comma. my code is:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
typedef struct CourseInfo {
int courseID;

I've created a class that is supposed to store first name, last name, date of birth, date of death, and a fact about a person (all variables within the class). Im trying to fill these variables with a read function. it reads a .txt file like this
Firstname Lastname 1987 1988 this guy did this
The problem is, I don't know how to handle the last variable. the variable needs to hold the entire "this guy did this" sentence. i made it a string, just because i was clueless, and as expected, it only holds "this"
this is my .h:
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class Person {
public:
Person();
Person(const Person & person);
[Code] ....
Here is the read function in the .cpp:
bool Person::Read(ifstream & input) {
return (input >> fname >> lname >> dob >> dod >> fact);
}

I am trying to read and store a txt file with format below:
2.5;abc;2,4000
2.5;bef;3,2000
2.5;ref;3,1000
I try the fscanf( pFile, "%d;%s;%d,%d", buffer,buffer2,buffer3,buffer4 ); to store 2.5 to buffer, abc to buffer2, 2 to buffer 3 and 4000 to buffer 4 on first line.
However, it doesn't work. How can I achieve this? I want to read the 2nd line and so on.
Code:
char buffer[100]="";
char buffer2[100]="";
char buffer3[100]="";
char buffer4[100]="";
FILE * pFile=NULL;
pFile = fopen("C: est est.txt", "r");

Im tasked with reading a data file, this is an example snippet
list of trophy winners
year facup leaguecup 1stdiv 2ndiv
1960/61 Tottenham Hotspur Aston Villa Tottenham Hotspur Ipswich Town
1961/62 Tottenham Hotspur Norwich City Ipswich Town Liverpool
1962/63 Manchester Utd Birmingham City Everton Stoke City
The file starts in 1892 and is up to 2011/12, there is data missing for some years due to the wars etc,
once ive read the file, i need to store the data, for me to re-use.
There are a lot of useful link regarding reading data in, but they tend to be with very small files with say 10 lines of numbers.

My main issue is that when I store just one value into a simple integer variable, it gives me a big negative number.
My goal is to store a file that reads like this into arrays:
2014 1 23
2012 2 15
2013 1 25
etc
Where I would have the first column in an array, the second in another and the third in third array since I am not allowed to use multidimensional.

I am trying to read a file use the data line by line to create into an object. The current file I have is like this and the code reading the file will be found below.
1223 Fake1 Name1 60 70 80 24 89 add1 Male
1224 Fake2 Name2 61 70 81 80 24 add2 Male
1225 Fake3 Name3 63 70 82 80 89 add3 Male
1226 Fake4 Name4 63 70 83 80 88 add4 Male
The problem I am having is that I need to put delimiters in the file so that a person can have more than one name and also the address can now hold multiple strings until the delimiter.
I would like to change my file to this;
1223 : Fake1 Name1 : 60 : 70 : 80 : 24 :89 : This will be address1 : Male
1224 : Fake2 Name2 : 61 : 70 : 81 : 80 :24 : This will be address2 : Male
1225 : Fake3 Name3 : 63 : 70 : 82 : 80 :89 : This will be address3 : Male
1226 : Fake4 Name4 : 63 : 70 : 83 : 80 :88 : This will be address4 : Male
How can I update the code below so that it can use the delimiters to create an object?
void loadFile(Person people[], int* i) {
ifstream infile("people2.txt");
if ( !infile.is_open()) {
// The file could not be opened
cout << "Error";

I'm trying to read in lines for a file and storing it in an array. This is what I have so far. Am I allocating the memory correctly?
Code:
typedef struct {
/* declartion of variables */
} App
typedef struct {

How do I access the array content? I'm suppose to strtok the contents from the lines stored in the array and use it again.

So I'm reading a file line by line and storing it backwards into a list. So if the file has has this format...
1
2
3
4
The code should store each line in a list as such...
4, 3, 2 ,1
Instead the code will store the last variable in all nodes. So the final list will look like this...
4, 4, 4, 4
Here is my code...
struct node *head = NULL;
int i;
while(read(in, &i, sizeof(int)) != 0) {
struct node *temp = malloc(sizeof(*temp));
temp->line = &i;
temp->next = head;
head = temp;
}

Program background: Ticket Sales Details You will sell tickets in advance and at the door. Prices for buying in advance and at the door will be given. Also, the total number of tickets sold in advance will be given. Each guest will have a unique number. If there are n tickets sold in advance, then these guests will be numbered 0 through n-1. As the event starts, requests to buy tickets at the door may be made and these guests will be numbered sequentially, starting at the lowest unassigned number. The maximum number of guests will be 1000. The first line of the file contains the following three values, separated by spaces: Cost of the presales tickets (in dollars), Cost of the tickets at the door (in dollars), and the number of presale tickets. The first two values will be positive real numbers to two decimal places and the last will be a positive integer.
The second line of the file will contain one positive integer representing the number of auction items followed by a positive real value to two decimal places (at most) representing the minimum bid increment, in dollars. The first value is guaranteed to be 1000 or less and the second will be in between 1 and 50, inclusive.
The third line of the file will contain all the prices of the auction items, in dollars, separated by spaces, in order. Thus, the first price is the price of item 0, the next price is the price of item 1, and so on. These values will be real numbers represented to up to 2 decimal places.
The fourth line of the file will contain the three following positive integers pertaining to the raffle: the number of raffle tickets available, the cost of a raffle ticket in dollars, and the number of raffle prizes. (It's strange to have raffle tickets that don't cost a whole number of dollars.)
The fifth line of the file will contain each of the values of the raffle items, in dollars, separated by spaces, in order. Thus, the first price is the price if item 0, the next price is the price of item 1, and so on. These values will be real numbers with upto 2 decimal places.
The sixth line of the file will contain ten positive integers representing the number of each of the drinks 0 through 9, in order, that are in stock.
The seventh line of the file will contain ten positive real numbers with upto 2 decimal places representing the price of each of the drinks 0 through 9, in order.
The eighth line of the file will contain a single positive integer, numEvents, representing the number of events that occur at the charity ball. These events are split into two groups: actions by guests at the ball and awards given (raffle, auction, person, totalrevenue). All of the actions precede all of the awards. You will produce exactly one line of output for each event described. Here are the formats of each event that could occur:
If a patron buys a ticket at the door, a command will be on a line by itself:
BUY TICKET k
where k is a positive integer indicating the number of tickets bought at the door. These guests will be numbered as previously mentioned. You are guaranteed that the total number of tickets bought, including presales, will not exceed 1000. This is what I have so far and I cannot figure out why it wont calculate the total revenue. I am not completely sure if it is even accessing the if statement in main.
Code:
#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#define N 1000

I am reading data from a text file into a program. I am well aware of the subtle distinctions in the mode of data input/entry when using the stream extraction operator, the get() function, and the getline() function.
My problem is that all of them do not read and/or store the newline character alongside the data read!
Any function that reads and stores data and the terminating newline character together??

I am doing SerialPort communication program where i am opening the port and reading data from port and storing in one document.
I debug my program and check that my read function is reading the data properly but when checking the document i find only unicode.
Suppose I am sending 1,2,3,4 to port i able to read same but my document showes þÿÿ þÿÿ þÿÿ þÿÿ
//My Read Function which read data from serial port
tInt serialport::Read(tVoid* pvBuffer, tInt nBufferSize) {
tInt nBytesRead = 0;
[Code] ....
Why I am getting unicode instead of 1,2,3,4 in my document ....

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");

I am creating a to-do list application and to store the tasks on the list, I am trying to create a linked list. the code for it so far is as follows:
public class Node //Class for nodes which make up a linked list {
//Declaring the data to be stored in each node and next variable to point to the next node
public string title;
public string description;
public string priority;
public string finish;
public string complete;
[Code] ....
The problem with this arises when I try to create a new node from another class like so:
createForm create = new createForm(); //Creates an object reference to createForm
create.ShowDialog(); //Shows the createTask form for creating a new task
//Declares variables and stores the return value of methods in createForm
string _title = create.getTitle;
[Code] ....
The variables _title etc.. all store values from text boxes as string. However, the code creating the object says the the variables cannot be implicitly converted from type 'string' to 'int'. Why this error is happening??

I am trying to use C# with C++, two different applications that work together.
In C# it is easy to get a byte array out of a string, by just using Encoding.Default.GetBytes(of-this-string);
I can pass bytes to my C++ program by just writing in the embedded resources. But this won't allow strings, as far as I know it can only be a byte array. C++ reads the embedded resources a LPBYTE.
So I try to send the string or message in byteform.
However the problem in C++ is that there is no Encoding.Default.GetString(xxx)
Would there be any other ways to send a message/sentence in bytearrayform and request it in C++ back to the original string?

Im trying to make a c++ program for a school project, and i need to store the information into binary files, but I'm having some problems trying to store a class with string members, for example:
class whatever{
protected:
string name;
public:
(List of functions)
}
But if I do that, my code just dont work when I write and read a binary file, but if I change the string to char array, for example:
class whatever{
protected:
char name[20];
public:
(List of functions)
}
It works good, so I wanted to know if there's some way to store a class wiht strings in binary files, or what am I doing wrong?

I have to read the information about logic gates from a file. The file format is shown below:
Code:
gateOne = NAND(inpA, inpB)
gate2=NAND(1,2)
3 = NAND(23,25,26)
As, it can be seen from the above structure that whitespaces are not same everytime. So, to deal with this situation, i am using boost library to remove all whitespaces from the line which is being read and then try to find the name of gate and its input. My code is given below which is able to correctly find the gate names and its first input...but my code is not able to find the second, third and so on input names.
Code:
//C
#include <stdio.h>
//C++
#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <cstring>
#include <boost/algorithm/string/erase.hpp>
