C++ File Read Manipulation

Background: Not too new to C++, never learned professionally, sparatic hobbie.

I am trying to create a game that requires reading of a file, but in entire line of code.
I can do it by switching it:

Code:

---

char name[256];
        cout << "Enter Game File: ";
        cin.getline (name, 256);
        ifstream ifs(name);
        string line;
        while(getline(ifs,line))
        {
                cout << line << endl;
        }
        return 0;

---

But the file i am trying to access has values that i need to be able to use, but it is now in bool form. I could use the

Code:

---

main()
{
    string line;
    while( getline(cin, line) )
        cout << line << '\n';
}

---

but this is not practical because i need more manipulation...

is there a way to use the first example and parse the bool values back to integers?

the file would look something like

[file.txt]
string of words
string of words
2
string of words
8 (or some value in the form of an integer)

Sorry if my english is not well.

Thank you in advance

Thank you! I forgot about the code tags

You can make a stringstream out of the line you have read: http://www.cplusplus.com/ref/iostream/stringstream/

Code:

---

stringstream s(string_line);
int n;

if(s >> n)
{
      // Successful conversion, not a string of
      // words (probably, I don't know what those
      // words are).
}

You referred to boolean values. You can do the same sort of thing with them, but if it's actually written as "true"/"false", then you should set the boolalpha flag. http://www.cplusplus.com/ref/iostrea...ratorgtgt.html I don't know whether boolalpha or noboolalpha is the default.

If you want to turn a string, say "1234", into the integer 1234, then you can use the atoi function.

For example, try this:

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>

int main(int, char**){
    std::string s = "123";
    std::cout << "As a string: " << s << std::endl;
    int x = atoi(s.c_str());
    std::cout << "As an int: " << x << std::endl;
    x += 10;
    std::cout << "With 10 added: " << x << std::endl;
}

i have the files for a runescape private server if those may help....like using the autosave code from it...stuf like that
