C++ :: Transfer Contents From Text File Into A String
Apr 9, 2014
I'm making a program in which it will read an input from a text file and then count the numbers of spaces , characters , words . Here is what i think it would work : First i will transfer the contents from the input.txt into a string , after that i will create 3 strings which contain each of these : spaces , characters , words . Then comparing each of the contents of the intput.txt_string to the other 3 strings .
#include<iostream>
#include<fstream>
#include<string.h>
using namespace std;
[code]....
and of course it doesnt seem to work...

So I am working on a FUSE filesystem and I currently have the need to load the contents of a text file into an array.
My array initialization looks like: char array[max_entries][PATH_MAX] = {NULL}
The reason I want to pass it by reference is that I want my function to return two values essentially. One a specific char* and the other an array like I initialized. My function proto type looks like:
char* load_meta(char* list[max_entries][PATH_MAX], char* path, int mode);
How I'm trying to call the function:
someChar = load_meta(&array, path_name, 1);
Within the function I try to edit the array by deferenceing it once, like this:
strcpy(*list[i], file_entry); // This seg faults

I've created a text file with the numbers from 1-450. After writing code to retrieve and print out the contents in the text file, the compiler only printed out the numbers 124-450. Is there a reason why this is happening?

I want the user to enter the word and I want to check if it exists in a text file or not. I tried
int flag=0;
char word[50], input[50];
cout<<"Enter word to search for";
gets(input);
[Code] ....
But it does not seem to be working. Should I make changes to it or is there another way?

Here's my code:
const int ROWS = 5;
const int COLS = 6;
int array[ROWS][COLS];
ifstream inputFile;
inputFile.open("table.txt");
[code]....
When i run the program and try and display the array, it doesn't work.

I am trying to store the contents of a text file into a char array. However the function i am using ifstream member function get(); seems to stop working when fed with certain characters. Is there another solution besides the get() function that will accept all types of characters from files?
char text[1000];
for (int i = 0; i <= textlen; ++i)
{
text[i] = text_in.get();
}

I am trying to code a function which will read a file on system and return its content back as string. Code is below.
Code:
char * readtxt(){
FILE * fptr;
char c;
static char txt[30];
[Code]....
I suppose txt variable is pointer. But I need to return the file content as string so the function structure should look like
Code:
returnType function(){
return "File Contents as String";
}

Here's the code I'm writing:
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
char* getTeamCode(char* team);
[Code]....
Why the placement of the code on line 21 above matters.
It grabs the correct string just fine. If I write a printf just below it, it prints the string it should correctly. However, if I do a printf of the string OSUteamCode below the fopen call on line 23, it prints blank.
So the first thing I did was move it below the fopen line. It worked, finding and outputting the first game in "game.csv" just fine, but not the other 11. Debugging with printf shows that the contents of OSUteamCode again disappear after the fopen call in the addLineCSV function.
I'm not understanding why that happens. The only thing I can figure is there's something going on with the file I/O commands that I just don't understand, but I can't find anything online that explains what that might be.

I wrote a program to write text contents to file stream through fputs, the file stream address was changed in the middle of writing text content to the stream (11% text content have been put into the file stream), that cause the file stream pointer can be evaluated problem and raise exception on stream validation code in fputs library function, my question is what things could go wrong to make file stream pointer changed its address to something else or a NULL pointer if the file stream have not been flushed and closed.

I have to make a server-client file transfer using UDP . I have created a basic server which receives message sent by client . That's all. Now comes the major part :-
1. The message sent by client is the name of file
.2. Now the server checks whether there exists this file or not .
3. If there exists it sends the file to the client and it also keeps the count of the number of requests of file made by the client . Here is the Server Code
Code:
#include<sys/socket.h>
#include<arpa/inet.h>
#include<stdio.h>
#include<unistd.h>
#include<fcntl.h>
#include<sys/types.h>
#include<string.h>
}
[code]...
The server reads the data from file and writes into it and send to the client , On the other end client receive the data and make duplicate of this file and write into it. But on compiling it gives error in reading the file.

I have a program here that writes employee information into a text file called employee.txt. I don't have a problem writing into the text file.
I'm supposed to enter the employees ID and search for it. Then pull up all they're info.
This is what I have.
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main(){
ifstream inFile;
ofstream outFile;

This is the text file

I'm trying to make a program that will read in names and grades from a text file and print them in the console. However whenever I try to use the OpenFile.get function I get an error saying that there is "no instance of overloaded function"
getting this error resolved before I can.
my code so far (I know it's missing a lot, but that's not what I'm worried about right now.)
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

I need to read from a text file and search for a string that appears in the file and then count how many times it appears. My count just prints zero though. Do you see what I did wrong in my code for this to happen?
#include <stdio.h>

For the last part of this problem, if player 2 loses the game of hangman, I need to display the letters they did get right. In order to do that, I believe that I need to traverse vector v for the elements that exist in the string hiddenword, and then print those characters that match.
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>
using namespace std;
int letterFill (char, string, string&);

I'm working on a program that can load all words from a dictionary "English2.txt" (it's attached to the post), then put every word into a 2-dimensional matrix (every line is reserved for one word) and display them. After loading every word into a matrix, when I try to display first 8 words with printf, I can't do it without '' at the end of a line. Otherwise only the 8th word is displayed... What's more, when I try to read the length of the first word with strlen, it says, that it has 4 characters (in fact there are only 3 and it's the word "AAA"). What could be the reason for that?
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdint.h>
int main()
{
FILE *fp;
char buffer[32];
[Code]...

I'm trying to read all content from a text file into a string. This is the code I'm using for it (I know there are other, maybe better ways to do it but I'd like to stick to this for now):
char* buffer;
std::string data;
FILE* fp = fopen("textfile.txt", "rb");
if (!fp) {
printf("Can't open file");
[Code] ....
So my problem is that I get an exception when I try to free the memory -> 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x51366199
I even get the exception when I try to free it immediately after calloc() but why this is.
And if I use buffer = (char*)malloc(lSize); I don't get any exceptions.
So, why this fails and what I'm doing wrong.

I have two puzzling issues I am dealing with.
Issue 1: I am using a stringstream object in a block of my program that needs to be visited repeatedly depending on a user's selection from a menu. I want the contents of this stringstream object to be cleared any time control gets to this part of the program. I have tried the clear and flush functions to no avail.
Issue 2: I am reading data from a source text file that would be regularly changed during the course of program run. After the program run is over, I am supposed to save the results(which is basically the source text file AND all updates) in a destination file. This destination file would then serve as the source file when next the program is run. In other words, I want a scenario where my results overwrite the original contents of the source file; implying that my source and destination files are now one, pretty much. How can I do this?

I am trying to print a specific line from a textfile
e.g
I have a text file called info.txt and inside it contains the id,item name, price, quantity
Code:
1,shirt,100,10
2,pants,50,9
3,pen,20,8
I know how to find a specific word at the line in the file but how do I find and print out the specific line e.g(print out just the entire contents of line 2)?
Code:
string temDescription;
ofstream fout;
int curLine = 0;

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)
_______lastname_______firstname__90__________lname __________fname_100___________last___________first __60
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) {
