    Extract numbers as integers from a string array

    Here is my main()
    Code:
    void main()
    {
    	ifstream inFile;
    	char buffer[80];
    	int year, month, day;
    
    	inFile.open("birthday.txt",ios::in|ios::nocreate);
    
    	if(inFile.fail())
    	{
    		cout << "birthday.txt could not be opened";
    		exit(1);
    	}
    	
    	inFile.getline(buffer,80,'\n');
    	
    }
    Now what is in buffer is 2002 3 20 a date
    I want to put 2002 into year an integer variable and month and day as well.

    Thanks DarthC

    Code:
    #include <strstream>
    #include <fstream>
    #include <iostream>
    #include <cstdlib>
    
    void main()
    {
            std::ifstream inFile;
            char buffer[80];
            int year, month, day;
    
            inFile.open("birthday.txt",ios::in|ios::nocreate);
    
            if(inFile.fail())
            {
                    std::cout << "birthday.txt could not be opened";
                    exit(1);
            }
    
            inFile.getline(buffer,80,'\n');
    
    	std::istrstream inStream(buffer);
    	inStream >> year >> month >> day;
    	std::cout << year << " " << month <<  " " << day << std::endl;
    }
    Prove you can code in C++ or C# at TopCoder, referrer rrenaud

    Or you could skip the strstream. If the date is in the format you've specified write directly into the variables-

    inFile >> year >> month >> day;

    instead of using getline().
