Question

Hi guys im trying to read this .txt file my problem is that i cant figure out how to read the file variable by variable excluding the commas

Donald Duck, 123456789, TRUE, 19, FALSE, 10.95
Mickey Mouse, 258866445, TRUE, 15, FALSE, 9.55
Goofy, 112222445, FALSE, 0, FALSE, 0
Pluto, 558844115, TRUE, 19, TRUE, 11.75
And i have the following code
#pragma once
#include <fstream>
#include "Model.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

Model::Model()
{
}

Model::~Model()
{
}

void Model::readStudentData()
{
string name;
int IDnumber;
string isWorking;
int hoursWorked;
string isTA;
int payRate;

ifstream file;
file.open("Programming Assignment 4 StudentEmployee Data.txt");
if (file.fail())
{
cout << "file not found!";
}
while (!file.eof())
{
file >> name;
cout << name << endl;

}

}

This prints out everything in the data file including the commas, so my problem is that i want to take each variable seperately and store it into an object of student employee and store it into an array. can anyone help me read the data so that it reads variable by variable not including the commas?

Explanation / Answer

#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <sstream>
using namespace std;

void readStudentData() {
   string name;
   int IDnumber;
   string isWorking;
   int hoursWorked;
   string isTA;
   int payRate;

   ifstream file;
   file.open("D://ravi//Cheg//ProgrammingAssignment4StudentEmployeeData.txt");
   if (file.fail()) {
       cout << "file not found!";
   }

   string line;
   string word = "";
   char delim = ',';
   int i;


   while (!file.eof()) {
       if (!getline(file, line))
           break;

       istringstream ss(line);

       i = 0;
       while (ss) {
           word = "";
           if (!getline(ss, word, ','))
               break;
           cout << word << " ";
           if (i == 0)
               name = word;
           if (i == 1)
               istringstream(word) >> IDnumber;
           if (i == 2)
               isWorking = word;
           if (i == 3)
               istringstream(word) >> hoursWorked;
           if (i == 4)
               isTA = word;
           if (i == 5)
               istringstream(word) >> payRate;
           i++;
       }
       cout << endl;

       cout << "Details: name: " << name << " IDnumber: " << IDnumber<< " isWorking: " << isWorking << " hoursWorked:" << hoursWorked<< " isTA:" << isTA<< " payRate:" <<payRate<<endl;

   }
}

int main()

{
   readStudentData();
}
