How read this file into array without comma?
Hello all:
My program need to read files with numbers as:
1,171.11
1,159.36
1,154.05
Because these numbers can not be calculated in C/C++, I need to store then in the arrays as:
1171.11
1159.36
1154.05
that is without commas.
How read numbers in a file into program arrays taking away commas?
Could you help me?
For more info on using strings (which are arrays):Code:#include <iostream> #include <string> using namespace std; int main() { string example; example = "123,456.00"; int pos; pos = example.find(',',0); //Searches for "," in string starting at position 0 /* If the string does not have the char in it, then there is nothing to delete This only deletes if the 'not found' value is not present */ if ( pos != string::npos) { example.erase(pos,1); //Erases from string, starting at position pos (returned by search) } cout << example; return 0; }

This will only find the first occurrence of the comma, so if you might have more than one comma (such as 123,456,789.00) you can just put it in a loop.

This isn't perhaps the prettiest example but it serves your purpose. Be careful of the EOF. Best to avoid using it if you can.
Code:#include <fstream> #include <iostream> #include <string> using namespace std; int main() { /* list.txt ----------------- 1,171.11 1,159.36 1,154.05 */ fstream file_pointer; file_pointer.open("list.txt",ios::in); do { char array[81]; char barray[81]; file_pointer>>array; int size = strlen(array); int count=0; int i; for( i=0; i<size; i++) { if (array[i]!=',') { barray[count]=array[i]; count++; } } barray[i-1]='\0';//get rid of the junk which may be present float f; f=atof(barray); //convert to float cout<<f;//you can now perform standard maths on the number //cout<<f*2; cin.get(); count=0; }while(file_pointer.peek()!=EOF); file_pointer.close(); }
Man...whatever happened to the days of giving the OP some advice and letting him/her figure it out?
If I did your homework for you, then you might pass your class without learning how to write a program like this. Then you might graduate and get your degree without learning how to write a program like this. You might become a professional programmer without knowing how to write a program like this. Someday you might work on a project with me without knowing how to write a program like this. Then I would have to do you serious bodily harm. - Jack Klein
Re:How read this file into array without comma?
Hello Enahs and Treenef:
Thank you for your passionate responses to write the program for me. Could you go a step forward to modify your program with following requirements.
Suppose the file named file.txt contains numbers:
1,111.11
2,222.22
3,333.33
After reading these numbers and then write them into a new file named file_new.txt, the numbers in new file changed to:
1111.11
2222.22
3333.33
It means that the numbers in file.txt with commas, but in file_new.txt without commas.
Could you help again?

Get off your lazy arse and do some bloody work yourself
Just how much of a spoon-feed do you need?????
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
oh come on, he will make a good IT manager some day!
Ok now you're just being lazy. Go look at the string functions on msdn.
Solved
Now Everything has been solved. Thanks anyway.
