I have a problem with a data table please help.
Problem: I have this 2 .dat files called LFILE & RFILE. LFILE contains some names in an M number of rows.
RFILE contains numerical values that match the names in LFILE, also in M rows. I am to write a function to combine these 2 file’s data and write a new file called LRFILE to the disk. LRFILE must present the above names and matching values in a clean table (height -M rows). I wrote this code but it doesn’t produce the correct result. Help!
Code:
//**********
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
void main()
{
char* f1name = "LFILE.dat";
char* f2name = "RFILE.dat";
char* f3name = "LRFILE.dat";
ifstream tfile1(f1name, std::ios::in );
ifstream tfile2(f2name, std::ios::in );
ofstream ofile(f3name, std::ios::out);
vector <string> f1dat;
vector <string> f2dat;
char f1str[100];
char f2str[100];
// read
while(!tfile1.eof()){
tfile1.getline(f1str,50, '-');
tfile2.getline(f2str,10, '.');
ofile.write(f1str, 50);
ofile.write(f2str, 10);
}
}
