major problemz!!

Hi~

I am using the fstream modes to open and read files. I want to read characters from the files and assign them to different variables so I can store them and display them later. Is there any way to do this?? I need this really urgent ..I tried many ways and I keep getting gerenal protection error ..!! Please helP~

~secyw~

You could try to store the characters into an array. That would be the way I would do it.

Post your code.

Ok Adrian, What does "Med venlig hilsen" mean? I asume it is Jerman??

>>> Ok Adrian, What does "Med venlig hilsen" mean?

Roughly, "With friendly greetings".

>>> I asume it is Jerman??

You mean German? No. Look at my "Location:" line over to the left!

FYI:

"Mit freundlichen Gruessen" or short "mfg" is the german term for it ;)

Hi~
THis is my code and it keeps ..stating ..general protection error.

#include <fstream.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <io.h> // Header file that includes the 'EOF' function

void main ()
{
ifstream new_name; // Declares input stream

new_name.open ("c:/files/names.txt", ios::in); // Opens the textfile

if (!new_name) // Checks to see if file is in the disk
{
cout << "Error opening file.\n"; // Displays information on to the screen
exit(1); // Exits the program
}

char *name [100]; // Declares the variable as type char with maximum of 80 characters
char *lname [100];
int age [20];
int a =0;

while (new_name)
{

new_name >> name [a] >> lname [a] >> age [a];
new_name.ignore(131,'\n'); /* skip up to and including the first newline
character it encounters or to skip 133 characters (maximum amount of characters in 1 line)*/
a++;
eof(1); // Ends the loop when it is at end of file
}

new_name.close(); // Closes the file
}

This doesn't crash, but I'm not sure it is doing what you want, you don't seem to be doing anything with the results...

Jerman oh my I can not believe I messed that up! I must have been tired! I usualy work 10.5 hours a night(8:15pm - 6:45am) and then sit at my computer for another hour before I go to bed. My bad. And I didn't even notice Denmark. Thanks for telling me though.
