Thread: Short & Sweet for a beginner

Part A of my assignment was to read a file from disk and write all of the integers to the output file on one line. The input file was 4 lines long. My integers are all on one line with the following code, however, you don't know where one integer end and the other begins. What am I doing wrong or is there no other way?

Code:

#include<iostream>

#include<fstream>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

//Declare and open files


ifstream inFile;

ofstream outFile;


//Declare variables

char inChar;


inFile.open ("K:\\DATFILE1.TXT");

outFile.open ("K:\\ANSWERS.TXT");



if ( !inFile )

{

cout<< "**Can't open input file**" <<endl;

return 1;

}


inFile >> inChar;
while (inFile)

{

	outFile << inChar;
	inFile >> inChar;

inFile.close();

return 0;

}

You're reading in characters. That might work if all the integers are one digit, but if not, you'll want to read in integers instead. Change the inChar variable to be an int.

Then, to put a space or any other character between the integers in the output file, just output a space or any other character. Put the single character in single quotes.

Ok, I tried that and it wouldn't compile..

I got this error

fatal error C1075: end of file found before the left brace '{'

*** Never mind, I figured that part out.

Got it! Thank you. Now I can move forward with the next 7 steps... UGHHH!! LOL

I did indent on the program itself, I was playing around with it on word and copied and pasted from there. Sorry for the confusion.
