i am working to make a translating software from an Urdu sentence into Hindi and vice versa, i am using visual c++ 2010 software with c++ language. i have written an Urdu sentence in a text file.
now i want to get a single character one by one from that file so that i can work on it to convert it into its equivalent Hindi character. when i use get() function to get a single character from input file and write this single character on output file, i get some unknown ugly looking character placed in output file. kindly help me with proper code. my code is as follows
Code:
#include<iostream>
#include<fstream>
#include<cwchar>
#include<cstdlib>
using namespace std;
void main()
{
wchar_t arry[50];
wifstream inputfile("input.dat",ios::in);
wofstream outputfile("output.dat");
if(!inputfile)
{
cerr<<"File not open"<<endl;
exit(1);
}
int i=0;
while (!inputfile.eof()) // i am using this while just to
// make sure copy-paste operation of
// written urdu text from one file to
// another. get() function used
// in this way works well but when i
// try to pick only one character from
// file, it does not work.
{
arry[i] = inputfile.get();
outputfile<<arry[i];
i++;
}
inputfile.close();
outputfile.close();
cout<<"Hello world"<<endl;
}
