We have been given a project where we have to make a c++ code generator through a give text file.
I'm attaching a file, please look at it and give some idea on how can this be done. I will be really grateful. Looking for a prompt response. Thank you.

This is what i've come up with yet, and I know it is incorrect because if you change the parameters in the sample input, the output goes all wrong.
Code:#include <fstream.h> void main () { char CLASS[50]; ifstream fin; fin.open("sample_input.txt"); fin.getline(CLASS, 20, '\n'); ofstream fout; fout.open("code.txt"); fout<<"#include <iostream>"<<"\n"; fout<<"using namespace std;"<<"\n"; fout<<CLASS<<endl; fout<<"{"<<endl; fin.seekg(27); fin.getline(CLASS, 50, ')'); fout<<CLASS<<":"<<endl; fin.seekg(51); fin.getline(CLASS, 10, ')'); fout<<CLASS; fin.seekg(40); fin.getline(CLASS, 20, '('); fout<<CLASS<<";"<<endl; fin.seekg(51); fin.getline(CLASS, 20, ')'); fout<<CLASS; fin.seekg(60); fin.getline(CLASS, 10, '('); fout<<CLASS<<";"<<endl; fin.seekg(83); fin.getline(CLASS, 10, ')'); fout<<CLASS; fin.seekg(78); fin.getline(CLASS, 10, '('); fout<<CLASS<<";"<<endl; cout<<fin.tellg(); fin.close(); fout.close(); }
I love it! No longer are teachers simply teaching bad design techniques from the start; they are teaching people how to automatically produce code with bad design techniques.
GENIUS!
To the original poster, first write the program yourself from the template, then figure out the steps you took to get there, and finally, you need to automate those steps.
Out of curiosity, are you supposed to use memory allocation, or just ........ away all semblance of good design?

This project is much like an Code Generator for a UML Diagram; C++ is possible but not really the best Language to process text files.
