C++ I/O Examples
</div>
<h2>Reading From Files</h2>
<p>Assume that we have a file named <em>data.txt</em> that
contains this text:</p>
<pre class="example-data">
Fry: One Jillion dollars.
[Everyone gasps.]
Auctioneer: Sir, that's not a number.
[Everyone gasps.]
</pre>
<p>We could use this code to read data from the file, word by word:</p>
<pre class="prettyprint">
ifstream fin("data.txt");
string s;
while( fin >> s ) {
cout << "Read from file: " << s << endl;
}
</pre>
<p>When used in this manner, we'll get space-delimited bits of text
from the file:</p>
<pre class="example-output">
Read from file: Fry:
Read from file: One
Read from file: Jillion
Read from file: dollars.
Read from file: [Everyone
Read from file: gasps.]
Read from file: Auctioneer:
Read from file: Sir,
Read from file: that's
Read from file: not
Read from file: a
Read from file: number.
Read from file: [Everyone
Read from file: gasps.]
</pre>
<p>Note that in the previous example, all of the whitespace that
separated words (including newlines) was lost. If we were
interested in preserving whitespace, we could read the file in
line-by-line using the <a href="getline.html">I/O getline() function</a>.</p>
<pre class="prettyprint">
ifstream fin("data.txt");
const int LINE_LENGTH = 100;
char str[LINE_LENGTH];
while( fin.getline(str,LINE_LENGTH) ) {
cout << "Read from file: " << str << endl;
}
</pre>
<p>Reading line-by-line produces the following output:</p>
<pre class="example-output">
Read from file: Fry: One Jillion dollars.
Read from file: [Everyone gasps.]
Read from file: Auctioneer: Sir, that's not a number.
Read from file: [Everyone gasps.]
</pre>
<p>If you want to avoid reading into character arrays, you can use
the <a href="../cppstring/getline.html">C++ string getline()</a> function
to read lines into <a href="../cppstring/index-2.html">strings</a>:</p>
<pre class="prettyprint">
ifstream fin("data.txt");
string s;
while( getline(fin,s) ) {
cout << "Read from file: " << s << endl;
}
</pre>
<h2>Checking For Errors</h2>
<p>Simply evaluating an I/O object in a boolean context will return
false if any errors have occurred:</p>
<pre class="prettyprint">
string filename = "data.txt";
ifstream fin( filename.c_str() );
if( !fin ) {
cout << "Error opening " << filename << " for input" << endl;
exit(-1);
}
</pre>
