  1. Programming with Data Files Chapter 4

  2. cout cin C++ Program Output Screen Keyboard input Standard Input Output

  3. File Input / Output features Output Screen Keyboard input cout cin C++ Program ifstream infile; ofstream outfile;

  4. Programmer Defined File Streams • To define your own file streams • for input use ifstream class • for output use ofstream class • ifstream and ofstream are defined in package fstream

  5. File Operations • Open, close, << and >> operators • eof() operation on an input file object returns a true or false (Boolean) • get() reads a single character from an input file and put(char) writes a single character into an output file.

  6. Defining File Streams • Include fstream • declare file stream variable (object) • ifstream fin; • ofstream fout; • use open() to initialize file stream variable • use input file stream variable as you would use cin and use output file stream variable as you would use cout • use close() to close the file when finished with it

  7. #include <fstream> #include <cmath> using namespace std; int main() { //Create three columns of data for plotting. double x; ifstream xdata; //declare input stream ofstream plotdata; //declare output stream xdata.open("data1");//xdata uses file data1 if( xdata.fail() ) //check for error { cout << "error opening input file" << endl; return 0; } //end if fail plotdata.open("plot1");//plotdata uses file plot1 xdata >> x; //input x from file while(!xdata.eof())//while not end of file { if( x>0 ) //write to plot file plotdata<<x<<" "<<exp(x)<<" "<<log(x)<<endl; xdata >> x; //get next data point } //end while xdata.close(); plotdata.close(); return 0; } //end main

  8. Reading Data Files • Specified number of records • for loop • Trailer or Sentinel Signal • while loop • Data records only (no specified number of records, no sentinel value) • while loop

  9. Example - Specified Number of Records … int main() { fstream fin(“data”); double x; int num_data_points; … fin >> num_data_points; for(int i=0; i<num_data_points; i++) { fin >> x; … } …

  10. Example - Sentinel Signal const double sentinelValue = -99; … int main() { fstream fin(“data”); double x; … fin >> x; while(x != sentinelValue) { … fin >> x; } …

  11. Example - No Specified Number of Records, no Sentinel Signal … int main() { fstream fin(“data”); double x; … fin >> x; while( !fin.eof() ) { … fin >> x; } …

  12. Summary • We looked at • Standard Input and Output • File Input and output features • Programmer Defined Files • File operations • Reading multiple data sets from input file
