Thread: Input from file instead of cin!!!

Hello I'm here again for help.
Is anyone able to tell me quite specifically what this code does??
Any help is appreciated!!

Code:

void printMimeStructure(MimeEntity* pMe, int tabcount = 0)
{
	Header& h = pMe->header();                   
	for(int c = tabcount; c > 0; --c)            
		cout << "    ";							
	cout << h.from() << endl;

	MimeEntityList& parts = pMe->body().parts(); 

	// cycle on sub entities list and print info of every item
	MimeEntityList::iterator mbit = parts.begin(), meit = parts.end();
	for(; mbit != meit; ++mbit)
		printMimeStructure(*mbit, 1 + tabcount);
}

I think that it parses a mail file and print the FROM, am I right??
Cause I'm trying to pass to this function a file, that I open in main(), using this:

Code:

//my posted code
        ifstream is;
	is.open ("text.txt", ios::in );

	is.seekg (0, ios::end);
	len= is.tellg();
	is.seekg (0, ios::beg);

	buff= new char [len];

	is.read (buff,len);

	istreambuf_iterator<char> test1(is), test2;
	int VarTest = imTestP | imTestE;
	MimeEntity me(test1, test2, VarTest );
        printMimeStructure(&me);

But it doesn't parse anything!
In fact instead of printing the From field it prints '/'.
Something wrong in my posted code??

I've done as you told me, but the funny things is:
1) Start without Debugging;
2) VS2k5 opens the DOS window;
3) I can see only the flashing _ of DOS and nothing else;
4) after some seconds the system is slowing down and it freezes, have to restart!!

I think that the problem is here:

Code:

	MimeEntity me(bit,eit);							// parse and load message
        printMimeStructure(&me);						// print msg structure

Infact if I comment out these lines, I can see the:
"Press any key to continue . . ."
nothing else but the program exits instead of doing an infinite loop!

Well, since we don't have the code of MimeEntity, how should we know?

You are right, but I can't post here or ask you an entire source (not only one function).
I thought that it could be easy fix with only some infos.

Btw I'll try to degub, as you suggested. Thank you!
