another string parsing problem

ok, here is the deal: I have a txt file, as below:

Code:

---

a
b
c
d
e
f
a.o: a b
b.o: b c d
e.o: e f
something: a.o b.o e.o

---

and I have to parse through it, and seperate it omitting the ':' and keeping track of some extra stuff. For example a through f, are basic files, but a.o, b.o, e.o, and somehting are targets, and I need to know that.

anyways, the first thing I had to do is count all the basic files and targets, and then read them into a map, that was relatively simple:

Code:

---

void ReadFile::readIntoMap( MyMap &mapName, string fileName )
{
        ifstream inStream3;       
        inStream3.open( fileName.c_str() ); //open user chosen file

        //declaring variables
        int i=0;        //counter
        int vertex=0;  //place for all the vertices
        string temp;        //temp place holder

        /*********************************
        TESTING
        ********************************/
        cout << endl << "these are the veritces/values in the map: " << endl;

        while( !inStream3.eof() && inStream3.good() )
        {
                getline( inStream3, temp );
                if( temp.length() == 1 )
                        mapName.insert( temp, vertex );
                else{
                        i=temp.find( ':', 0 );
                        if ( i>0 )
                                temp.resize( i, ' ' );
                        else{
                                i = temp.find( ' ', 0 );
                                temp.resize( i, ' ' );
                        }
                        mapName.insert( temp, vertex );
                }
                vertex++;
                if( vertex > lines )
                        break;
        }               

        inStream3.close();
}

---

but now I can not just "chop" off the temp (temp.resize( i, ' ' );) because I need the "stuff" that follows it...any ideas?

Use substr()

lol...yeah I actually just used it...I'm close to figuring it out

ok, can you guys look at this dumb problem, fscking vc++ spits these errors out...maybe I'm just too tired.... the worst thing is, that it was working fine a fe wminutes ago.

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <map>
using namespace std;

#include "llist.h"
#include "readfile.h"
#include "mymap.h"
//#include "readfile.cpp"

int main()
{
        ReadFile read;
        string temp = "test.txt";
        read.openFileCountElements( temp );

        cout << read.lines  << endl;

        MyMap one;

        read.readIntoMap( one, temp );

        MyList *mainArray;
        mainArray = new MyList[read.lines];

        MyList adjList;
        read.readIntoList( one, temp, mainArray, adjList );

        return 0;
}

Code:

---

\main.cpp(12) : error C2601: 'main' : local function definitions are illegal
\main.cpp(33) : fatal error C1004: unexpected end of file found
Error executing cl.exe.

why is readfile.cpp commented off?

so that you would ask :P

actually its not supposed to be there...thats not the problem

all behold...I started a new project...copied the files EXACTLY as they were before....and it worked

...........................

that was the FIRST thing i told u to do :P

Kids.

yeah but it didn't work the first time....

I'm the man just accept it.
