Thread: Question on lesson 10

Hello,

Recently, I read the tutorial on C++ File I/O and tried out the source code example given in the tutorial. I used VC++ 6.0.

The output for the source code is supposed to be ‘ This text will now be inside of example.txt’. However, the output on my pc is only ‘This’.

It seems that spaces prevent the entire string from being displayed because when I used ‘Thistextwillnowbeinsideofexample.txt’, the whole string is displayed on screen.



I think the code related to my question is this:



B_file>>str;

Cout<<str;



May I know what went wrong or is the code wrong?



Please reply….thank you!

Use fgets, or whatever the crazy C++ equivalent is. B_file>>str; only reads the first word into the string.

Code:

char str[512];
fgets(str, 512, B_File);

Code:

#include <string>
...
std::string str;
getline(file,str,'\n');
