Can you tell me why it won't print my array to the screen? Compared to examples in my book, it should work. I don't get it.
if ((Prefix == "AA") && (Description == "MC"))
{
DocsBelongMCDR_Out << Prefix << DocAreaCode2 << Description << endl; // test output
string arrayDocAreaCode2[3];
int i;
for (i=0; i<3; i++)
{
cout << arrayDocAreaCode2[i];
}
}
like always it would help if we would see more code...
but i'll try to work with what we have....
the first thing that comes to my mind might be that the "if" statement never gets executed perhaps BOTH of these conditions don't evalute as "true"
the first couple lines don't mean anything to me...
the way you want to display an array is fine, i am very certain that the problem exists somewhere else....perhaps prior to you entering the "if" statement
ps. more code would be helpfull

Here is the complete test file. Thanks in advance.
#include <fstream> // For file i/o
#include <iomanip> // For cout manipulation
#include <iostream> // For cout
#include <stdlib.h> // For exit
#include <string> // For elements of type char
#include <stdio.h>
using namespace std;
int main ()
{
ifstream Code_Detail;
ofstream DocsBelongMCDR_Out;
string line;
string Prefix, DocAreaCode2, Description; // Strings for Code_Detail
Code_Detail.open ("Code_Detail.txt");
if (Code_Detail.fail ())
{
cout << "Cannot Open File: " << endl;
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
DocsBelongMCDR_Out.open ("DocsBelongMCDR_Out.txt");
if (DocsBelongMCDR_Out.fail ())
{
cout << "Cannot Create File: " << endl;
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
while (Code_Detail.good ())
{
getline(Code_Detail, line);
Prefix=line.substr(0,2);
DocAreaCode2=line.substr(2,2);
Description=line.substr(4,10);
if ((Prefix == "AA") && (Description == "MC"))
{
DocsBelongMCDR_Out << Prefix << DocAreaCode2 << Description << endl; // test output
string arrayDocAreaCode2[3];
int i;
for (i=0; i<3; i++)
{
cout << arrayDocAreaCode2[i];
}
}
}
Code_Detail.close ();
DocsBelongMCDR_Out.close ();
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
as a matter of fact i just answered this post under another name.... maybe that will help you...
and another thing......
in your last "if" statement you are comparing (Description) if it equals to "MC" unfortunatelly "MC" contains two (2) characters and Description doesn't so they would never equal unless you just would get lucky.... line.substr(4,10); starts at the fourth character and takes ten (10)....
try line.substr(4,2); ............
hope that helps,
