Thread: ofstream

Ehem, that makes sense, thanks CornedBee!

If i use EOF as the delimiting character for istream::getline , will it read the whole file at once?

getline(TheFile,str,EOF)

If yes , will it still swallow the '\n' character?
Or anyway is it possible to do what i want with istream::getline (namely to detect the end of line in some way )
or shall i look for another method?
Cheers

Ok i understand.
So maybe i have to go about it something like that:

Code:

while (!eof())
 {getline(TheFile,str,)}

Thanks Cornedbee, you gave me the final solution!

I let alone getline() and i rewrite the whole program with read()

Code:

int main () {
  int length;
  char * str;
  
  cout << "Enter file name : ";
  string   FileName;
  cin >>   FileName;
  ifstream TheFile(FileName.c_str());
  ofstream TheCopy;
  TheCopy.open ("Your_Uppercased_Copy.srt",ios::app);
  
  // get length of file:
  TheFile.seekg (0, ios::end);
  length = TheFile.tellg();
  TheFile.seekg (0, ios::beg);

  // allocate memory:
  str = new char [length];

  // read data as a block:
  TheFile.read (str,length);
  TheFile.close();
  str[0] = static_cast<char>( toupper(str[0]));
   for(int i = 0; str[i]; i++)
          if (str[i] == '.'|| str[i] == '!'|| str[i] == '?')
              str[i+1] = static_cast<char>( toupper(str[i+1]));
   for(int j = 0; str[j]; j++)
          if (str[j] == '.'|| str[j] == '!'|| str[j] == '?')
          if (str[j+1] == '\n') 
              str[j+2] = static_cast<char>( toupper(str[j+2]));
   for(int k = 0; str[k]; k++)
          if (str[k] == '.'|| str[k] == '!'|| str[k] == '?')
          if (str[k+1] == ' ') 
              str[k+2] = static_cast<char>( toupper(str[k+2]));
          
              TheCopy.write (str,length);
  TheCopy.close();
  delete[] str;
  return 0;
}

Ok thanks, but if i add "ios::binary" it doesnt work.

ifstream TheFile(FileName.c_str(), ios::binary)
