Ok i have to output a translation into a file called decodeOut. I am having troubles doing this. Here is what I have wrote and it doesnt work. trans is what I want to put into decodeIn.
ofstream outfs("decodeOut", ios::out);
trans= fs.put();
Am i missing something or do i just have the worng syntax or what. any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot, Kyle
That is not supposed to be the face there it is supposed to be
: : o without the spaces in it.
HI,
We need some more info, what is trans? is this is an object?
trans is a bunch of charechters. What it is doing is decoding a message and calling it trans. Then that has to be put in to the file.
Thanks for nay help, Kyle
Well, is trans a string variable, a file with characters, a char pointer, etc?
Here's a quick decode example from an encoded file to a decoded file. Decoding is just subtracting one from the character, which had one added when encoded. The decoding and writing to a file is one operation here.
fs.put may be reading in one character at a time, but you may be trying to give it a string. You may need a loop or different variable type for trans.Code:while (fileIn2.get(ch)) // Decrypt data
fileOut2.put(ch - 1);
It is decoding the charechters one at a time. So i want it to enter one charechter at a time into decodeOut. The problem is that the way I have it set up the only charechter that shows up in decodeOut is the last charechter. So for some reason it overwrites the previous charechter. Any Idea on what could cause this?
Thanks again, Kyle
Maybe:
ofstream outfs("decodeOut", ios::out);
outfs.put(trans);
Well, looks like you need to output to a file or array or something. The problem is that trans is overwritten each time. If trans is a file object, use the file syntax. See my example above, or swoopy's.Quote:
