C++ :: Reading Data Character By Character From Text File
Jul 25, 2012
Double values are stored in text file. 23.5 36.8 34.2 ... My teacher told me to read them character by character and then make words, like i have to read "2" "3" "." "5" and now have to make it or treat it as word and then using atoi(). I have to convert it into double. but i dont know how to do this....
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 have to optimize a code for below scenario. I am reading stdin (a file redirected to stdin) character by character. How many chars are going to come is not known. After every few chars there is a seaparator. e.g $ as below
rhhrkkj$hghjhdf$ddfkrjt
While reading, if the separator arrives I'm processing the string stored before that separator and then continue reading stdin in same fashion, till EOF. I am using getc(stdin) to read chars.
Using gprof I can see most of the program time is spent inside main() , for this reading logic. Rest of the program is just some insert and search operations. I am getting time of 0.01 secs at the moment, want to reduce further.
In my program, I'm supposed to read a text file (the name of which is given to me as a command line paramater, as long with an integer), and display the text in a specific format (each line can only be as long as the integer). However, I'm having trouble even reading the text file. I don't know the syntax. I'm only allowed to edit the function that does the formatting, and the code in that is
void typeset (int maxWidth, istream& documentIn)
I don't know how to 'read' the file, as most examples online are ifstream, or openFile or something like that. What I want to do is just read the first character of the file, and continuously keep reading characters until the end of the file.
What I have to do is write a small program in C++ to parse the symbols that are used on 5 different lines of text in each position until position 30 is reached on each line. The goal of the parsing program is to interpret the symbols (characters), if there are any per each position, on the 5 lines of text in order to output the actual data that the group of symbols represents.
My question for is this: Is there anything special from a C++ environment that should go in to something like this outside of using standard stuff like the math associated with the search algorithm that has to happen here? The symbols are located in a file, so I know I have to include "iostream" and a few other headers. But outside of header inclusions and the code necessary to iterate and streamline the search and interpretation process, am I missing anything special that I couldn't otherwise find through simple google searches?
I'm facing a problem regarding data entry in file.I'm making arrays which terminates when I press enter key but problem is that character at 0 index is not in file while rest of the indexes are there .. In other words,while writing on file my first character of any array got missed and did'nt present in the file ..
I'm trying to read a file that is in byte format then append it onto another file. I'm doing this with unsigned char variable types because they're always one byte. Since the format is simply using bytes, they don't care about the character representation. However, when I read the characters in then put them out again, the '/n' character is always preceded by the '/r' character. In hexadecimal this looks like 0D0A. I have no control of this, and it seems as if it's being done automatically by the ofstream.put() function.
So, is there a way to take away this appending of characters and simply writing the raw data to the file?
So I wrote a program to turn a binary file's data into an unsigned character array for inclusion in an executable. It works just super.
I'm wondering how I can write a program that will perform this operation on every file in a directory and all it's sub-directories so that I can I can include everything I need all at ounce.
I am trying to record some information in a file and allow user to delete a record. I am facing this message in Autos section of MVS (Error reading character of string). Here is the code:
int removeRecord(string name, int &row)//remove a record { const string data="database.txt"; fstream records; records.open(data.c_str()); const string cpData="temp.txt";
[code].....
If I delete the any row (except last roe) it works but then add a copy of last record (sometimes fully sometimes partially) at the end of the file!! if i delete the last record it does not do anything.
So I'm trying to create a function that replaces any instance of a character in a string with another. So first I tried the replace() string member function:
#include "NewString.h" using namespace ...; int main()
[Code].....
Instead of replacing the the l's with y's it outputted a long string of y's. Also, NewString is derived from the string class (it's for the assignment). the header and whole implementation file, already tested.
I've also tried, instead, to use a for loop in ReplaceChar() but I need to overload the == operator and I don't know how I should exactly:
I want the == operator to test if the value in the char array is equal to target but I'm not sure how to pass in the position. I'm guessing the this pointer in ReplaceChar() is not the same as the one dereferenced in ==() because target is never replaced by entry in the string.
i am trying to read a string using fgets and storing in an array i want to prevent fgets from storing the new line character on the array using the shortest means possible..
read some information from a text file. The program I'm working on is like a simple betting program.
What I need to read are:
match_code - team1 - team2 - odd1 - odd0 - odd2 139 Atletico Madrid - Real Madrid 2.853.40 2.35
But the spaces between datas are not known. We only know that both team names may contain more than one word and there is one space, exactly one dash and one more space (" – ") between team names.
Also match_code is an int and odds are double values.
Code to write data(Double type e.g 12345.67891) in text file like pattern given below. Remember to put tab between each column.
----------------------------------------------------- Column1 Column2 Column3 Value 1 Value 2 Value 3 Value 4 Value 5 Value 6 Value 7 Value 8 Value 9 ----------------------------------------------------
I am working with a new text adventure. The way i want to construct it is by having a class for all living things. in the class you have basic things as: health, gold, vector for inventory holding "struct item". etc...
There is also a class called world, wich navigates through the world.
World class contains of: player location, and a map containing info about the room etc...
Here comes the problem. I want there to be characters to be placed out in different maps, so basically i want the world class to hold objects from Character.
How to do it. In world class i made a map...
std::map<int,"content">
content is a struct i made above in world class:
struct content{ std::string name; // location name std::string info; // info about location std::vector<Character>characters; std::vector<item>items; };
To sum it up, i have a std::map<int,content>map the int stands for location id. Content holds more info about the room and what's in it
btw the classes are in different files and that means i have to include "Character.h" in the world file so i can set up the vector of characters.
I'm new in programming, and trying to write a code in C. The requirement is following - to write a text, and to find frequency of 1 chosen character in it. The main thing is that program should check user input (for example, I want to check if user entered "char" --> then correct, or if entered "int" --> not correct). But the program still doesn't check. So I have:
Code: #include <stdio.h> int main(){ char c[1000], ch; char i, count=0; printf("Enter a text: "); gets(c);
I'm writing a program that stores records into a file and then these records can be printed out. A last name, first name, and score is stored to be exactly 36 characters long (using leading spaces to pad) making it easier to retrieve specific records. For example, three records stored in the file would like like this: (the underscores are simply to illustrate the distance, they are not in the file itself)
When printed out, the names are formatted as follows:
lastname, firstname: 90 lname, fname: 100 last, first: 60
However, when I print them out this is what I get:
lastname, firstname: 90 lname, fname: 100$ last, first: 60H
For some reason, for any record after the first, an extra character is added to the end. These characters are not in the file, so I was thinking that the array for some reason wasn't being filled completely, (the array is initialized to size 36 and 36 characters are read from the file using fread) so it was printing out a random character assigned to the 36th array position. Except the character never changes, (always a $ for record 2, H for record 3, l for record 4 if i remember) and I've tried reducing the array size or the number of character read and it's the string that gets altered, the random character always remains. I figure the problem must be in the print_records function (appending seems to work no problem). Anyway here is my print records and appending records code.
Code: /* - Prints a single record stored in the file pointed to by ifp. */ void print_record(FILE *ifp, int record) {
