C++ fstream and arrays

Re: C++ fstream and arrays

I would do some preprocessing on the text file before inputting it in the program. It would make it much easier. Just do a mass search and replace into a format such as:

Username,1,2,3,4,5,6,7

Then, you can use std::getline(stream, number, ',') to get each part one after the other.

That makes sense. This is why I was saying the username part wasn't an issue because we can change the format. Didn't realize you could add those parameters to getline to make it that easy though. Thank you. I'll give it a try when I get done eating and showering.

I would write in a better* programming language and use regexes with capture groups to parse each line and spit out the individual elements for you

*better for non robotic beings

your regex would be something like
(\w+) \[(\d+),(\d+),(\d+),(\d+),(\d+)\]\[(\d+)\]\[(\d+)\]
(make sure to double all backslashes if your language doesn't have a way to specify to ignore them, like @" in C# and r" in python)
then you can search a line for that regex, take the match and use the contents of each match (first match will be username, second match onwards will be da numbers)

C++11 supports regexes as well if you want to go that route. http://solarianprogrammer.com/2011/1...egex-tutorial/ here is a tutorial for that.

C++11 is looking sexier every day :O
