Question

Help with this vector in c++ please!

I am given a config file and a metadata file. (See screenshot, as my program right now just reads them line by line and prints them)

I need to separate the string into 2 parts, a string and a float so that I can multiply the cycle times by the number of cycles. For example. 0(Hard Drive)6; from the meta data file needs to multiply "Hard drive cycle time (msec): 15" to output: "0(Hard Drive) 6 - 90 ms"

I know how use getline to read the whole line, but I don't know how to read in separate pieces of the same line to be manipulated differently.

below is my code and current output.

#include <iostream>

#include <vector>

#include <fstream>

#include <string>

using namespace std;

//Can we use #include <map>??? no.

int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) {

ifstream file("config.txt"); //read config file

ifstream metaf("metadata.txt"); //read meta data

string myline;

vector <string> configArray;

vector <string> metaArray;

if (!file)

{

cout << "Error Opening Config File ";

system("pause");

return -1;

}

  

while (getline(file, myline))

{

configArray.push_back(myline);

}

  

if (!metaf)

{

cout << "Error Opening Config File ";

system("Pause");

return -1;

}

  

while (getline(metaf, myline))

{

metaArray.push_back(myline);

}

  

  

cout << configArray[0] << endl;

cout << metaArray[0] << endl;

}

** I am also curious why my vector isn't printing properly. It has to be [0] or [1] in the config vector. [0] prints the first half, and [1] prints the second half. Shouldn't there be many more elements than just 0 and 1? **

Explanation / Answer

The code is fixed

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;
//Can we use #include <map>??? no.

int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) {
ifstream file("config.txt"); //read config file
ifstream metaf("metadata.txt"); //read meta data
string myline;
vector <string> configArray;
vector <string> metaArray;

if (!file)
{
cout << "Error Opening Config File ";
system("pause");
return -1;
}
  
while (getline(file, myline))
{
configArray.push_back(myline);
}
  
if (!metaf)
{
cout << "Error Opening Config File ";
system("Pause");
return -1;
}
  
while (getline(metaf, myline))
{
metaArray.push_back(myline);
}
  
  
cout << configArray[0] << endl;
cout << metaArray[0] << endl;
}
