Good Afternoon,
A quick question?
is it possible to this
if not could you guys show me a way of doing something similar?Code:string File_Name[1] = {"Test.txt"};
ifstream inFile(File_Name[0]);

ifstream inFile(File_Name[0]);
You need to put .c_str() after File_Name[0] (one element arrays are basically useless, why are you using one?), which will return the char* which the std::ifstream constructor expects, rather than an std::string.
No that doesn't work. Ifstream doesn't have a constructor that takes a string as parameter.
This would work
I changed File_Name to a single string because an array with only one element doesn't make much sense.Code:string File_Name = "Test.txt";
ifstream inFile(File_Name.c_str());

Basically I have a folder that contains reports for the whole month, and every single day is a separate file.
What I need to do is find a way to read every single file but one thing the file name will change every day!
So I'm trying to figure it out since I'm pretty new with C++
this is what I have so far which I barely started last night
Code:#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
void Option_1();
int main()
{
char selection;
do
{
system("cls");
cout << "\n\n1 - Option " << endl;
cout << "2 - Quit" << endl;
cout << "\n Choice: ";
selection = cin.get();
switch( selection)
{
case '\n':
break;
case '1': Option_1();
break;
case '2':
break;
default: cout << '\a';
}
}
while( selection != '2' );
return 0;
}
void Option_1()
{
string line, last;
string myfiles[2] = {"FVT20060301.txt", "FVT20060401.txt"};
ifstream inFile( myfiles[0].c_str() );
while(getline(inFile, line))
{
if (line != "")
{
last = line;
}
}
cout << last;
inFile.close();
system("pause");
}
I will ask for the file name and store it in a array to be able to open an specific file within my directory
IF I WANT TO ADD A PATH COULD I DO THIS?
ifstream inFile( "Billing_Reports\myfiles[0].c_str()" );
shure you can add a path. But not this way.
try
KurtCode:string myfile = "FVT20060301.txt";
myfile = "Billing_Reports\\myfiles\\" + myfile;
ifstream inFile(myfile.c_str());
