Remove newline char at the end

Im reading from a file with getline (file,line1); and i have a null character after every end of line.
But i would like to append some string to it so i dont want the null character.

How can we remove newline char in c++?

Code:

---

while(file.good())
{
      getline (file,line1);
      str = "hello";
      str += line1;
      str += "world";
      cout << str << endl;
 }

A null character and a newline character are two different things. Anyway, the solution is the same as what I just talked about recently in another thread: use getline() to control the loop.

Thank you Laserlight, i will search for your thread.

By the way i resolved it with erase().

I found your example, thanks.

Actually to control the loop like this isnt enough for me cause i will still have newline char at the end of every line and when i append something it wont get printed on the same line.

Erase() will remove them only it will remove the last character from the last line too because there is no more newline char there.

So im wondering how could i check if its the last line already?

Code:

---

while(getline (file,line1))
{
        if( not last line)
        line1.erase(line1.length()-1);
}

---

This is what I mean:

Code:

---

while (getline(file, line1))
{
    str = "hello";
    str += line1;
    str += "world";
    cout << str << endl;
}

Yes its not working that way.

"world" is going to come always in the beginning of the phrase because of the newline char i guess.

For a moment I thought that I could have got it wrong, but a quick test shows that I am right.

Post the smallest and simplest compilable program that demonstrates this effect using what I suggested. If by "i guess" you mean that you are guessing that this is what will happen, then you have guessed wrong. std::getline() extracts the delimiter but does not add it to the string.

"hello" will get overwritten by "world" all the time.

Code:

---

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main ()
{
    string line, str;
    ifstream file;
    file.open("Dico.txt", ios::binary );
    while(getline (file,line))
    {

      str = "hello ";
      str += line;
      str += " world";
      cout << str << endl;
    }
    return 0;
}

I put three lines in Dico.txt.

Since you are working with text, do not open the file in binary mode.

Thank you very much and Happy Holidays! :)
