Thread: reading files

I am reading a file then printing the data onto the other file. It is working, however when I check to see if each variable is being properly set after reading the file a issue arrises.

Example of the file being read

Code:

Vehicle PV50CAN passed camera 1 at 05:33:26.
Vehicle W867BRO passed camera 1 at 05:33:29.
Vehicle KQ63ARU passed camera 1 at 05:33:38.
Vehicle K954ITQ passed camera 1 at 05:33:40.
Vehicle V220MXB passed camera 1 at 05:33:42.
Vehicle Q762YIV passed camera 1 at 05:34:10.
Vehicle O858FGA passed camera 1 at 05:34:10.
Vehicle V445ECN passed camera 1 at 05:35:14.
Vehicle V646ADL passed camera 1 at 05:35:15.

Example of the output

Code:

 PV50CAN  1 05:33:26.
 W867BRO  1 05:33:29.
 KQ63ARU  1 05:33:38.
 K954ITQ  1 05:33:40.
 V220MXB  1 05:33:42.
 Q762YIV  1 05:34:10.
 O858FGA  1 05:34:10.
 V445ECN  1 05:35:14.
 V646ADL  1 05:35:15.
 C840BAK  1 05:35:16.

[/code]

In the console I am getting:

PV5
05:33:26.\
1
3ARU
K95
05:33:40.\
1
2YIV
O85
05:34:10.\
1
6ADL
C840
05:35:16.\
1
RKG



I read the file and send the information I need to the output file. I then read it doing the following

Code:

std::ifstream readSortedFile;
    std::string plates;
    std::string camera;
    std::string time;

    readSortedFile.open("outFile.txt",std::ios::in);
    
    while(readSortedFile>>plates>>camera>>time){

I then check the values that is being places in the variables.

Code:

//std::cout<<plates<<"\n";
        std::cout<<camera<<"\n";
        //std::cout<<time<<"\n";
        vehicle.setLicensePlate(plates);
        vehicle.setCamera(camera);
        vehicle.setTime(time);
//  std::cout<<vehicle.getCamera()<<"\n";

I check each one and they are all getting the same values. I need each variable to to be set properly. Not all of them having identical information.

Whole Code

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include "Calculate.h"
#include "Vehicle.h"
#include <fstream>


Calculate::Calculate(){
    
}

void Calculate::readFile(){
    std::ifstream reader;
    std::ofstream writer;
    writer.open("outFile.txt");
    reader.open("carSpeeds.txt",std::ios::in);
    std::cout << "Reading from the file" << std::endl;
    
    while (reader>>line) {
        
        if (line=="Vehicle"||line=="Speed"||line=="limit"||line=="is"
            ||line=="passed"||line=="camera"||line=="at"||line==".\\") {
            
            //erase the string if it matches
            line=" "; //create a space so there is not a mega string
        }
        
        //write string to outfile
        writer<<line<<std::endl;
    }
    reader.close();
    writer.close();
    
    //read file after it has been sorted and all unnessary strings have been removed
    std::ifstream readSortedFile;
    std::string plates;
    std::string camera;
    std::string time;

    readSortedFile.open("outFile.txt",std::ios::in);
    
    while(readSortedFile>>plates>>camera>>time){
        
        //std::cout<<plates<<"\n";
        std::cout<<camera<<"\n";
        //std::cout<<time<<"\n";
        vehicle.setLicensePlate(plates);
        vehicle.setCamera(camera);
        vehicle.setTime(time);
    
      //  std::cout<<vehicle.getCamera()<<"\n";
    }
}
void Calculate::calculateSpeed(){
    

}
