File processing examples
File writing
Simple example
- simple-file-write.cpp
// This program writes data to a file. #include <iostream> #include <fstream> using namespace std; int main() { ofstream outfile; // instantiate file pointer object outfile.open("public_radio.txt"); // associate file with file pointer object cout << "Writing to the file ... "; outfile << "KCMP\t" << 89.3 << endl; outfile << "KNOW\t" << 91.1 << endl; outfile << "KSJN\t" << 99.5 << endl; outfile.close(); // close the file! cout << "Done!" << endl; return 0; }
Checking for opening errors
- simple-file-write2.cpp
// This program writes data to a file. // Shows error checking. #include <iostream> #include <fstream> using namespace std; int main() { ofstream outfile; // instantiate file pointer object outfile.open("public_radio.txt"); // associate file with file pointer object if (!outfile) { cout << "Error opening file." << endl; return 1; // exit program with an error code } cout << "Writing to the file ... "; outfile << "KCMP\t" << 89.3 << endl; outfile << "KNOW\t" << 91.1 << endl; outfile << "KSJN\t" << 99.5 << endl; outfile.close(); // close the file! cout << "Done!" << endl; return 0; }
Using filenames
- simple-file-write3.cpp
// This program writes data to a file. // Converting string to c_str. #include <iostream> #include <fstream> #include <cstring> using namespace std; int main() { ofstream outfile; // instantiate file pointer object string filename; // used to store filename to save file // get filename from user cout << "Enter the filename to store the file in\n" << "> "; cin >> filename; outfile.open(filename); // associate file with file pointer object //outfile.open(filename.c_str()); // convert filename to C-string in pre-C++11 if (!outfile) { cout << "Error opening file." << endl; return 1; // exit program with an error code } cout << "Writing to the file ... "; outfile << "KCMP\t" << 89.3 << endl; outfile << "KNOW\t" << 91.1 << endl; outfile << "KSJN\t" << 99.5 << endl; outfile.close(); // close the file! cout << "Done!" << endl; return 0; }
File reading
Simple example
- simple-file-read.cpp
// This program reads a number from a file. #include <iostream> #include <fstream> #include <string> using namespace std; int main() { string filename = "some_numbers.txt"; int num1; ifstream infile; // instantiate file pointer object infile.open(filename); // associate file with file pointer object if (!infile) { cout << "Error opening file." << endl; return 1; // exit program with error code } cout << "Reading from file ... "; infile >> num1; infile.close(); // close the file! cout << "Done!" << endl; cout << "The first number in the file is " << num1 << "." << endl; return 0; }
Reading multiple tokens
- simple-file-read2.cpp
// This program reads two numbers from a file. #include <iostream> #include <fstream> #include <string> using namespace std; int main() { string filename = "some_numbers.txt"; int num1, num2; ifstream infile; // instantiate file pointer object infile.open(filename); // associate file with file pointer object if (!infile) { cout << "Error opening file." << endl; return 1; // exit program with error code } cout << "Reading from file ... "; infile >> num1 >> num2; infile.close(); // close the file! cout << "Done!" << endl; cout << "The first two numbers in the file are:" << endl << num1 << endl << num2 << endl << endl; return 0; }
Read all tokens in a file
- simple-file-read3.cpp
// This program reads all the numbers from a file. #include <iostream> #include <fstream> #include <string> using namespace std; int main() { const string filename = "some_numbers.txt"; int num1; ifstream infile; // instantiate file pointer object infile.open(filename); // associate file with file pointer object if (!infile) { cout << "Error opening file." << endl; return 1; // exit program with error code } cout << "Reading from file ... " << endl; while (infile >> num1) { cout << num1 << endl; } infile.close(); // close the file! cout << "Done!" << endl; return 0; }
