textfile 2

Part 1

I need to write a program called Encrypt.cpp, which opens a text file. The name of this file is provided by the user. The program reads every character from this input file, adds 2 to the ASCII value of it, and prints the resulting character into a new file called output.dat.

Part 2

I then need to write a program called Decrypt.cpp, which opens a file containing encrypted data created using the scheme used in question 2. The decrypt program deciphers the text and displays it on the screen.

Thanks

That's great! I need to write a game server for my MUD.

That's nice, we all have *things to do*. Perhaps you could start by doing your own homework, posting specific questions, and above all, limiting posts on the same subject to a single thread.

Thank you.

Here's a little snippet.

Code:

char c;
FILE *ifp, *ofp;

/*...some code here...*/

ifp = fopen("myfile.txt", "r");
ofp = fopen("output.dat", "w");

/*...some more code...*/

c = getc(ifp);
c += 2;
fprintf(ofp, "%c", c);

/*...some more code...*/

fclose(ofp);
fclose(ifp);

/*The End*/

How about instead of showing us a snippet and waiting for us to do it for you, you actually try and do it yourself or ask some questions.

You're confusing me bud Are your referring to me or to that newbie C++ programmer?

Rez, I think RoD thought you were the same people. I don't think you should have given him all that code though, lol

I was trying to give the little guy an idea

thanks guys for you input. Just trying to learn something new. Professor gave us a challenge and I didn't have a clue how to begin or what I was doing. Still really a newbie. He gives us these challenges all the time.

Rez, your code is C, with this being a C++ forum, I expect davidnj732 is writing C++, so I'm afriad your examples won't help.

davidnj732: Start with a tutorial or two. Post code when you get stuck.

Well... I can't think of any other File I/O technique. Is there such a thing as an "entirely-different-from-C-that-is-unique-to-C++" File I/O routine?

Hey pretty neat!

Code:

:startover
open a file
read 1 charater
convert it to acsii number
add 2 to it
convert it to a character
if youve reached EOF goto done
else jump startover
:done
write to file

thats to encrypt it, if ya need more pseudo code to decrypt it, jsut ask, noone will (they shouldnt anyways) be writing code for you.
