unknown errors (to me at least)
I am a relative newcomer to C++. I have some history in BASIC (:) I like goto loops!), but the C++ syntax is new to me.
The program I am trying to create is a simple game modifier that changes a value in the game's user.ini file so that a new action will be bound to a certain key.
What I want it to do is open and run through the user.ini file, copying every line exactly until it finds the line that begins with "X=" (with X being the letter the user picked.) where I want to make it "X=playvehiclehorn 1" then continue on copying the rest of the lines of the program and stop when it reaches the end. I don't want the program to overwrite the file it reads from, just to make a copy in the same directory as the program is run, so the user can manually add it.
I am using Bloodshed Dev C++. The compiler is throwing some errors at me I have never seen before. It is giving me errors on lines that don't have any code and past the end of the program. I have used all these commands before, maybe not in the same program, so I should be able to make it work. But no one can honestly say the error messages in Bloodshed help a novice very much ;) . Thanks in advance!
here is my code:
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
char peeker = 'z', def = 'y', newkey = 'H', custkey = 'z', gettest = 'z', peeker2 = 'z', done = 'n';
string filename, linein;
ifstream infile;
ofstream outfile;
while (def != 'y' || def != 'n')
{
cout << "Is your program installed in the default directory?" << endl << "c:\UT2004 (y/n): ";
cin >> def;
}
if (def == 'n')
{
cout << "Enter the location of your user.ini file" << endl << "Example: c:\ut2004\system\user.ini" << endl << ": ";
cin.ignore(400, '\n');
getline(cin, filename);
infile.open(filename.c_str() );
}
*29* else
infile.open("c:\ut2004\system\user.ini");
if (!infile)
{
system("pause");
return 1;
}
outfile.open("user.ini");
cout << "Do you want to use the 'H' key? (y/n): ";
while (custkey != 'y' || custkey != 'n')
cin >> custkey;
if (custkey == 'n')
{
cout << "Enter your new key to bind to the horn. It must be a CAPITAL letter." << endl << "Ex: H : ";
cin >> newkey;
while (newkey < 'A' || newkey > 'Z')
{
cout << " Invalid key, enter another: ";
cin >> newkey;
}
while (!infile.eof())
{
peeker = infile.peek();
if (peeker == newkey && done == 'n')
{
infile.get(gettest);
peeker2 = infile.peek();
if (peeker2 == '=')
{
outfile << newkey << "=" << "playvehiclehorn 1" << endl;
done = 'y';
infile.ignore(100, '\n');
}
else
{
infile.putback(gettest);
getline(infile, linein);
outfile << linein << endl;
}
}
else
*79* {
getline(infile, linein);
outfile << linein << endl;
}
}
infile.close();
outfile.close();
system("pause");
return 0;
*90* }
lines with errors are marked with: *linenumber*
here are my error messages
