How do I check to see if an ifstream object has reached end of file?
How do I check to see if an ifstream object has reached the end of file?
I expected there to be an "atEnd()" function or something, but no such thing exists in the ifstream class, it seems, so how does one check to see if its reached the end of the file yet?
You can use eof().
However, normally input loops are controlled with the input statement itself. The eof bit may not be set until only after an attempt to read more input has failed.
Code:while (getline(fin, line)) while (fin >> word)
I might be wrong.
Quoted more than 1000 times (I hope).Thank you, anon. You sure know how to recognize different types of trees from quite a long way away.
Thanks.
I think eof should work fine in my case.
