CD-ROM Read

Tronic · 04-17-2004, 02:48 PM

Anyone have any good guides on CD-ROM reading? I have a new interest in this..and I have no idea where to turn too. What i'm looking for is to read a text file on a disc and display it on the screen in a console window..that sort of a thing. Any idea how this can be done? If so please state your source/anything else interesting you want to note about CD-ROM reading, thank you for your assistance

It is very much appreciated.

Just open the file as you would any other, specifying its full path.

Eg, assuming your CD is drive F
fp = fopen("f:\\myfile.txt", "r");

Could you explain your code please?

I'm new to fopen.

Thank you for your reply by the way

I appreciate it.

Before I explain in detail, what language are you intending to write this in? My sample was C, but no point in telling about it if you're not writing in the same language.

Anyway, whatever language, just open the file as you would any other, giving the full path name to it.

Thank you

And it was C++.

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

int main(void)
{
  ifstream fs("f:\\myfile.txt");
  string st;
  
  while (getline (fs, st, '\n'))
  {
    cout <<st <<endl;
  }
  
  fs.close();
  return(0);
}
