I have a misfortune though. At some point in the game the player can enter his name. So, from that point on I want the texts to have the player's name.
The thing is, to have a much simpler code and more freedom in creating the game, I read the texts from external texts files. That means I read each line of the file and then print it on the screen.
So what I thought is create a sequence of characters that I can read and replace them in the program.
So I came up with the "/NAME/" sequence. So, the player enters his name, "Nick" for example. The program should replace the "/NAME/" sequence with "Nick" and present the rest of the text normally.
So I wrote this code:
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdio>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
#include <sstream>
using namespace std;
int main (){
string line;
char name[20];
fstream file;
file.open("Rebels_after_start.txt");
cin >> name;
while(file.good()){
getline(file,line);
line.replace(line.find("/N"),line.find("E/"), name ,6);
//line.replace(19,1,1,'s'); Even with this line it crashes
cout << line << '\n';
}
file.close();
}
But the program keeps getting an out_of_range instance from the replace function. I've tried all iterations of string.replace and nothing works. Even if I replace a character with a character the program crashes.
Any help please?
