Hello ALl im new just wanted to ask a quick question thanks. so im writing a program that reads in data from a ".txt" file and im supposed to use it to do computations so I figured i should write the values into an array(or 2D array) so i wrote the code below: So this works except that my file "example.txt." looks like this 5.5 2.1 2.7 4.3 but when i write it into my array and executes it appears as 5.52.12.74.3 one big value is there a better way to write it into my array so ill be able to reference one value at a time? or a different way i should go about with this problem? thanks. Ive read a few issues similar to mine on forums and got helped up too this far just not as far as my problem Code: #include "stdafx.h" #include<iostream> #include <fstream> #include <iomanip> #include <string> #include <conio.h> #define newline '\n' using namespace std; float result = 0; int main() { // Read Data File into a 2-D Array ifstream inFile ("example.txt"); inFile.precision(2); inFile.setf(ios::fixed, ios::showpoint); // Declare Variables to Store Array Information int parcel [3] [3]; float dis [3]; int id [3]; int A=0; int B=0; int c=0; // Text File ifstream inStream; inStream.open("example.txt"); if (inStream.fail()) { cout<< "Can't open file!\n"; system("pause"); } else { while (!inStream.eof()) { // write into Array for (int i = 0; i <2; i++) { inStream >> dis[i]; result =dis[i]; cout << result;"\n"; } } // Close File inStream.close(); system("pause"); } } -------------------------------
You probably get a compiler warning at the line Code: cout << result;"\n"; You shouldn't ignore it. As a semicolon is a statement separator let me rewrite that slightly: Code: cout << result; "\n"; which is exactly the same. Can you see the problem now?
Thanks for the tip but i changed it and the output and problem remains the same...i need to find a way to separate the output.
