I have to read a file (for a string) and the file is available only at the compilation time, not in the run time.
Is there any possibility to read the file during compilation and initialize a variable with the value read from the file.
I have tried different methods, but doesn't work for me. Can anybody please tell me how can i do this?
Thanks in advance.
What compiler/IDE do you use?
Some have pre and post build options that you can use to run a program to do what you need.
I'm working on REDHAT LINUX, GNU Compiler.Quote:

You can probably write a program that does a text search in the file and places it in the source code, then run that before the build starts.
