Thread: file system

Code:

void main()
{
	ifstream fin_noindex("noindex.txt");
	ifstream fin_f1("file1.txt");

	string s;

	if(fin_noindex.is_open() && fin_f1.is_open())
	{
		while(fin_f1.good())
		{
			fin_f1 >> s;
			
			cout << s << endl;
		}
	}
}

what's wrong with it ?

Well,

Code:

void main()

is one thing. main always returns an int.

As to what else is wrong... It would be helpful to know what problems you are having with it.

assignment1.obj - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)

i received the error above .. i compiled using Ms Visual C++ ... i have no idea it means what ...

but i did use

Code:

using namespace std;

i thought

Code:

#include <iostream>
using std::cout;
using std::endl;

#include <fstream>
using std::ifstream;

#include <string>
using std::string;

should be included in the "using namespace std;"

it is, but that method is considered a little bit better than "using namespace std"

how come ? shouldnt "using namespace std" better ? it saves more lines

yes but everything isnt about lines "using namespace std" will include absolutely everything there is in the namespace and I doubt you will use everything, therefore people more often use "using std::something" or "std::something".
