Thread: read lines

this is the part i was trying to implement unsuccesfully:

Code:

string t;
int lineCount=0;

while(getline(file_op, t, '\n'))
++lineCount;

cout << "The number of lines in the file is " <<
lineCount << endl;

i got it ...thanx =)

Here's what I whipped up:

Code:

//#include "stdafx.h"
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

void countLines( istream& in, int& lines )
{
  char val = '\0';
  lines = 0;

  while ( in.get( val ) ) {
    if ( val == '\n' || val == '\r' )
      lines++;
  }
}

int main( int argc, char* argv[] )
{
  fstream file_op( "andop.txt", ios::in );

  int lines;
  countLines( file_op, lines );

  cout << "Lines: " << lines << endl;
  return 0;
}

Oh.. were you trying to write to outfile.txt your results?
I see you got it.. post it!

oh well i got the part for reading the number of lines... I just modified the small code I typed...however i couldnt display it properly on the output file...but I just thought it was enough bugging you guys...jeje
