I want to do some find and erase operations that i find in the string
class, upon the entire text contents of a file.
I made a function that will take a string (designed to hold the entire
file contents)
my problem now is how can i grab all the file contents in one swoop and
put it in a string for editing?
I hate to go through the file and copy line by line:
string s = file.getline()
while(!file.eof )
{
s += file.getline();
}
That seems aweful inefficient...
isnt there some way to initialize the string with the contents of the
file?
like:
string s(file.some data buffer)?
If I copy the contents from a file to a string and then later from a
string to a stringstream and finally from a stringstream to individual
variables I am essentially copying the file 4 times, that could stink
for large files... 14 4436 cp***@austin.rr .com wrote: I want to do some find and erase operations that i find in the string class, upon the entire text contents of a file.

Couldn't you define the string to be of the size of the whole file and
then do
file.read(s.dat a(), s.size());
(or something like that) ??

Oh... Right... Well, then you're probably stuck with using 'getline'.
Have you tried giving it a different separator from '\n'? Like 0 or
something else non-existent? It should read the whole file in one
swoop...

Yea, i can always get the whole file and put it in some char array
somewhere and then copy it over to a string, but my question is more
about the efficiency of doing that. I would like to skip the copy step
somehow and get directly into the string instead of having to copy from
some temporary char buffer. cp***@austin.rr .com wrote: I want to do some find and erase operations that i find in the string class, upon the entire text contents of a file.

Use an istreambuf_iter ator. See Item 29 (p. 126) of Scott Meyers' "Effective
STL" for an example.

If you question efficiency, you have to come up with hard numbers to
show that the ways available to you are inefficient somehow. For now
'std::getline' is it, and supposedly it does it as fast as possible
when 'std::string' is involved.

There is no need for mathematical analysis...just comapre these two:
Proposal 1
{
Get x amount of data from file using getline and put it into a
char buffer
Copy x amount of data from char buffer to string
}
Proposal 2
{
Get x amount of data from file and put it into a string
}
getline requires you do this
{
char bufffer[512];
file.getline(bu ffer, 512);
string mystring("buffe r);
}
See the differance? the question is if proposal 2 is possible or not.
I'll check into what Paul said.

Ah nm. I finally found something useful on google now that I know to
search for istreambuf. the following code does the trick.
std::istreambuf _iterator<char> dataBegin(input File);
std::istreambuf _iterator<char> dataEnd;
std::string fileData(dataBe gin, dataEnd); This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

ifstream::getline won't include \r

I'm pretty much a newbie C++ user, and I've run into a problem.
I'm trying to read in a large text file, and then do manipulations on

really like to read it into a vector of strings. Here's how I'm doing
the read into the char array:
