Hi,
I am trying to find a way of manipulating input from a txt file.
The following is a portion of the code,
void DisplayPointsTable()
{
char FileName[13];
char ch;
clrscr();
cout << "\nPlease type name of file to load... ";
cin >> FileName;
ifstream FileIn;
FileIn.open(FileName);
clrscr();
if(!FileIn)
{
cerr << "\nThis file could not be found." << endl;
exit(1);
}
cout << endl;
while (!FileIn.eof())
{
FileIn.get(ch);
cout << ch;
}
FileIn.close();
}
-----------------------------------
This reads in a txt file from disk and outputs the contents to the screen
fine, what I would like to do is read the input into an array for example
and then output the data to screen in different positions.
For example.
The txt file on disk looks like this.
3 4 John
4 5 Bill
4 6 House
I would like to do this
John 3 4
Bill 4 5
House 4 6
As I said I can read the data in from a file and display it to screen in
its original format, but for the life of me I can't work out how to do
the above. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Cheers
