Thread: Creating dimensions of a 'block' from a file

Can't figure this out...it's pretty simple really, all I want to do is have a struct of "blocks" with x, y, top, bottom and whatnot. It supposed to read from a txt file which has '.' characters wich represent space, and '*' characters, which represent the block. For example, This block would start at 2 and end at 5:

..***.

(just trust me). it would actaully be 20 and 50 since I'm doing everything in 10's. I have the code written, and everything is all happy, but for some reason I'm having some little...*ehem*...uninitialized problem (at least that's what it seems to be):

Code:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <fstream.h>

const int numBlocks = 2;

struct BLOCK
{
	BLOCK::BLOCK()
	{
		x = 0;
		y = 0;
		w = 0;
		h = 10;
		left = 0;
		right = 0;
		bottom = y;
		top = bottom - h;
	}

	double x, y;
	double w, h;
	double left, right;
	double top, bottom;
};
	

int main()
{
	int i = 0;
	int k = 0;

	BLOCK block[numBlocks];


	ifstream inFile;

	char ch[11][11];
	int r, c;
	bool end = false;
	int numstars = 0;

	
	inFile.open("level.txt", ios::nocreate);

	if (!inFile.fail())
	{
		i = 0;

		for (r = 0; r <= 10; r++)
		{
			for (c = 0; c <= 10; c++)
			{
				inFile>>ch[r][c];

				if (!inFile.eof()) 
					block[i].y = (r * 10) + 10; 
		
				if (ch[r][c] == '.')
				{
				
					if (end == true)
					{
						block[i].right = block[i].left + (numstars * 10);
						numstars = 0;
						i++; //this is causing the problem!
					}
			
					if (end == false)
						block[i].left += 10;
			
					end = false;

					if (c > 0 && c % 10 == 0)
						block[i].left = 0;	
					
				
				}

				else if(ch[r][c] == '*')
				{
					numstars++;
					end = true;
					
				
				}
			
			}

		}

	}

	inFile.close();

	for (k = 0; k < numBlocks; k++)
	{
		block[k].bottom = block[k].y;
		block[k].top = block[k].bottom - block[k].h;
		block[k].x = block[k].left;
		
		/*output*/

		cout<<"block["<<k<<"].bottom = "<<block[i].bottom<<endl;
		cout<<"block["<<k<<"].top = "<<block[i].top<<endl;
		cout<<"block["<<k<<"].left = "<<block[i].left<<endl;
		cout<<"block["<<k<<"].right = "<<block[i].right<<endl;

		cout<<endl<<endl;

	}

		
	return 0;
}

When i increases, it doesn't work at all (all the ouput is just what was set in the constructor). If you comment out:

Code:

i++;

it will work, but will only do one block. The rest is pretty self explanatory I think. By the way, you always need to have one '.' as the last character just because of how it works.

Thanks in advance.
