Reading a character from a file...
Author
How do you read one individual character from a file? I'm trying to load the file into a two-dimensional array, but i don't know how to get the character. is there a simple function?
I'm using C++.
#include <fstream>using namespace std;{fstream input( "myfile.txt", ios::in );char tile;while( tilesInFile( ) ) { input >> tile; useTile( tile ); }}Also, google for fstream.
A C alternative to ToohrVyk's post:
#include <stdio.h>FILE *fp = fopen( "somefile.txt", "r" );char c = getc( fp );// use c as you want
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
ifstream input;
int main()
{
input.open("file.txt");
char array[4][4];
input >> array[0][0];
input.close();
return 0;
}
evillive2: you leaked your file handle. Don't forget to close it.
OP: if using evillive2's method with a C++ compiler, you must include <cstdio> instead of <stdio.h>.
