Read space from the file

I'm trying to read a file and convert them into ASCII value. This code can read and print all the symbol except the space. Guess when i read the file, it miss out the space already. Anybody know how to read the space in the file?

Code:

int main ()
{
	char ch;
	ifstream infile;
	infile.open("testing.txt");
	
	while(infile >> ch) 
	{
		int asciiValue = (int)ch; 
		cout << asciiValue << " ";
	}

	infile.close( );
	return 0;
}

The >> is text oriented, i.e., it reads until it finds a space or a newline character. Look for the read function, it might be handy.

Or getline(), which reads a whole line of text.

The only problem with getline() in a case like this is that after it reads all the data, it will drop the newline character, and he might want to display the ascii value of that as well. If not, then he is good to go with getline().

Code:

#include <string>   //for std::string
#include <algorithm>  //for std::for_each

struct print_as_int
{
    void operator() (const char & ch) { std::cout << (static_cast<int>(ch)) << ' '; }
};

int main ()
{
	char ch;
	ifstream infile;
	infile.open("testing.txt");
	
        std::string buf;
	while(std::getline(infile, buf)) 
	{
		std::for_each(buf.begin(), buf.end(), print_as_int());
	}

	infile.close( );
	return 0;
}

*edit* Ah, DavidP makes a good point. *edit*

Code:

// . . . .
print_as_int func_ob; 
std::for_each(buf.begin(), buf.end(), func_ob);
func_ob('\n');
//. . . . .

Except for one extra '\n' at the end, I think that's the idea.

i need to extract each individual character/ symbol because later part i need to count them.

My method is to extract each individual character and convert them into ascii value, so that I can use the ascii value to count each individual character occurred how many times.

If I use the getline, I only can convert them into ascii value all at a time but cannot count each individual character.

Well, counting occurrences is one of the beauties of std::map.

Code:

std::map<char, unsigned long int> table;
char ch;
while(infile.get(ch))   ++(table[ch]);

std::cout << "s occurred " << table['s'] << " times." << std::endl;

Thanks for your help guys.

I found a easlier way but there still got a small problem.

My testing.txt file contain "0 1 a b A B".
My output is "48 32 49 23 97 32 98 32 65 32 66 -1"

anybody know what is the "-1"???
how do i take away the "-1?"

Code:

while(!infile.eof()) 
{
	ch = infile.get();
	int asciiValue = (int)ch; 
	cout << asciiValue << " ";
}

> while(!infile.eof())
See the FAQ on why using EOF or eof() in a loop is bad - for the very reason you're describing.

Perhaps
while ( infile.get(ch) )

Thanks salem.

My problem had been sloved=)
