I guess I am pretty rusty at the moment
No sorry, make that VERY rusty...
I'm having a problem with this program:
Given an input file that contains:
this is my loverly file
its very interesting innit!
hello?
I only get:
this is my loverly file
its very interesting innit!
The last word is being missed?
Heres the code:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
const char *inputFile = "c:\\testFile.txt";
int main() {
ifstream in(inputFile,ios::in);
if(!in) {
cout << "error: could not get input file";
return 1;
}
char ch;
char token[100];
unsigned int index=0;
while(in.get(ch)) {
//get tokens
if(ch == ' ') {
//got a token
token[index] = '\0';
cout << ' ' << token;
token[0] = '\0';
index = 0;
} else {
token[index] = ch;
index++;
}
}
cout << "\n\npress a key to exit...";
while(!kbhit()) ;
return 0;
}
I can't exactly remember how to store the token using a pointer, its very embarassing I know
I tried a test like this:
char *ptr = new char[100];
for(char ch='a'; ch<'f'; ch++) {
*ptr = ch;
ptr++;
}
*ptr = '\0';
but when I try to print it:
i get garbage... im doing something very wrong i know!
my cheeks are burning !
anyway, hope someone can help me out?
Thx
PS: reminder to myself to sit down and go over some "fundamentals" this weekend... hehe!
