Question

Write a program that asks the user for the name of a file.

The program should display the contents of the file on the screen.

If the file's contents won't fit on a single screen, the program should display 24 lines of output at a time, and then pause.

Each time the program pauses it should wait for the user to strike a key before the next 24 lines are displayed.

Explanation / Answer

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <stdio.h>
using namespace std;

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
   ifstream in_stream;
  
   string Filename;
   cout << "Enter the name of the file: ";
   cin >> Filename;
  
   //open the file
   in_stream.open(Filename.c_str());
  
   string data;
  
   //count the no of lines read and printed
   int count=0;
  
   //loop till end of the file
   while(!in_stream.eof())
   {
       //read the file data
       count++;
       getline(in_stream,data);
      
       //if no of lines printed are more than 24 then ask for a key
       if(count > 24)
       {
           cout << "Press any key to continue displaying the rest of the lines: ";
           fflush(stdin);
           getchar();
           count=0;
           cout << data << endl;
       }
       else
       {
           cout << data << endl;
       }
