Hi,
I've had a introductory C++ course in the spring and haven't programmed in
C++ for a couple of months now (but I have been programmed in C since
january). So I decided to do my conversion utility in C++, before I forget
everything. But it doesn't compile:
------------
cat export_tex.C
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
/*************************************************
* *
* This program takes data from some .vtk *
* input-files and exports them to .tex-format *
* *
*************************************************/
int main()
{
/* will contain LaTeX preamble etc */
string LaTeX_header = "test, bla.bla... \n\begin{document}\n";
string LaTeX_tail = "\end{document\n}";
string current_data_type;
char* valid_data_types[3] = {"Temperature", "Rho*cp", "Cell_energy"};
string read_line;
unsigned int filenumber; /* current data file number */
unsigned int number_of_lines; /* tells how many data lines follows */
/************************************************** **********
* conversion loop - continue as long as data-files exists *
************************************************** **********/
for(unsigned int i=0; i<999; i++)
{
ifstream infile("file", i, ".vtk"); /* file[filenumber].vtk */
if( infile )
{
infile >read_line;
/* ??? if read_line == one of the "valid_data_types" ...
then begin conversion... Else: read a new line */
/* valid lines beginn with:
"SCALARS" + spc + |current_data_type| + spc */
/* test: cout read_line; */
/* tex_file[filenumber].tex */
ofstream outfile("tex_file", i, ".tex");
/**********************************
* do the actual conversion here *
**********************************/
outfile << LaTeX_header;
/*
for(unsigned int linenumber=1; linenumber<number_of_lines;
linenumber++)
{
infile >something;
outfile << converted_something;
}
*/
outfile << LaTeX_tail;
}
if( ! infile ) /* can't open file? Then finish */
break;
}
cout << filenumber+1 << " number of .tex files written" << endl << endl;
return 0;
}
------------
As you see it's probably very much C-style and not very good C++-style, as I
did my bachelor project in C (and this conversion utility is a continuation
of my bs.c project).
First step: How can I make this compile? Suggestions are most welcome...
I get a lot of strange things when I try to compile... Such as:
/usr/include/c++/4.1.0/i586-suse-linux/bits/c++config.h:43: error: expected
constructor, destructor, or type conversion before ‘namespace’
/usr/include/c++/4.1.0/i586-suse-linux/bits/c++config.h:47: error:

Hi,
Well this seems to come from the compiler itself, this means there is
something wrong with it. Just a wild guess; you might try to include the
'#include' s in a different order. If that doesn't work install another
version of g++.

Hi,
Wait a minute, your file ends with .cc or not? Make sure you compile it with
g++ and not gcc.

cat export_tex.C
....
First step: How can I make this compile? Suggestions are most welcome...
It's complaining about the word "using," which is C++ specific.
My guess - change the filename to .CC or .cc or .cpp or something like
that. At least a couple of compilers I've used have a heuristic that
checks filename and compiles in C mode or C++ mode depending. And be
sure you're using the C++ version of the compiler (g++ instead of gcc).
I tried compiling in VS, and it complains, but not about that.

In other words, your three argument constructor isn't valid, AFAIK.

Is this C or C++? Sometimes compilers trigger on the filename suffix, so see
if that fixes it.
(However, your compiler's forum is the best place for subsequent questions
on how to drive it...)
I get a lot of strange things when I try to compile... Such as:
/usr/include/c++/4.1.0/i586-suse-linux/bits/c++config.h:43: error:
expected
constructor, destructor, or type conversion before 'namespace'
A 'config.h' is often the very first header file of any translation unit,
because (again, off-topically) many compilers rely on install scripts that
build config.h with their platform-specific details.
However, your compiler can't understand its first C++ line. Maybe the
compiler is in C mode, and then maybe the error message incorrectly
specifies C things.
Alternately, maybe your compiler is old and doesn't understand namespaces,
which are new. Try these:
$ which c++
That might show a path with a version other than 4.1
$ ls -l `which c++`
That might show a link to path with a version other than 4.1
$ c++ -v
And that might show version info other than 4.1.
And, naturally, you might be calling some wrapper other than c++, such as
g++. Check your makefile.

Damn... I wanted the loop to process these file names:
file000.vtk
file001.vtk
file002.vtk
file003.vtk
.....
.....
So that explains the "file" + the counter in the loop, "i", + extension. How
to do this, then? And my original suggestion also didn't take into account
that the numbers should always take up 3 characters. Here's my
C-implementation (this is how I make the output filenames in C):
--- for-loop --
if(*filecounter >999)
{
printf("Error! Too many results have been written.\n\n");
quit_program(__FILE__, __LINE__);
}
sprintf(fname, "file_%03d.vtk", *file_counter);

How to this in C++? - In an "elegant" way, ofcourse...

I must compare the beginning of each line with the word "SCALARS". Once I
find that word in the beginning of a line, I must see if it's one of the 3
char *valid_data_types[3].
-snip-

That's a start, anyway.
You're right, thanks... The number of lines is something I'll have to
extract from inside the data-file and I haven't exactly figured out how to
do that yet...
I can now compile my program. I had a stupid "x" in the top of the file and
after I removed the ifstream infile("file", i, ".vtk") line (and also for
the ofstream) I got something usable:
Complete program follows:

unsigned int filenumber; /* current data file number */
unsigned int number_of_lines; /* tells how many data lines follows */
/************************************************** **********

}
if( ! infile ) /* can't open file? Then finish */
break;
}
cout << filenumber+1 << " number of .tex files written" << endl << endl;
return 0;
}
------------------------
Suggestions are welcome... I probably should make a file-class and then have
a smaller main-function with a loop that just increments the file-counter
and calls some function in that class... or something...
I still have a few problems to solve...

I've read that .c is C and .C is C++ on unix... And it didn't make any
difference to use .cpp, but now I use .cpp even though it isn't necessary.

[ GCC Docs ]
For any given input file, the file name suffix determines what kind of
compilation is done:
file.c
C source code which must be preprocessed.
[ use gcc ]
file.cc
file.cp
file.cxx
file.cpp
file.c++
file.C
C++ source code which must be preprocessed. Note that in .cxx, the last
two
letters must both be literally x. Likewise, .C refers to a literal
capital C.

One way is to use 'stringstream' (header <sstream>), then put it in a
std::string.
#include <string>
#include <sstream // for std::ostringstream
#include <iomanip // for std::setfill(), std::setw()
int fnumb(5); // you will use the 'int' in your for loop.
std::ostringstream Oss;
Oss << "file" <<std::setfill( '0' )<<std::setw( 3 )<< fnumb << ".vtk";
std::string Filename;
Filename = Oss.str();
// or just: std::string Filename( Oss.str() );
std::cout<<" Filename ="<<Filename<<std::endl;
// --- output ---
// Filename =file005.vtk
ifstream infile( Filename.c_str() ); /* file[filenumber].vtk */
>> if( infile ){

std::string read_line;
std::getline( infile, read_line );

>I must compare the beginning of each line with the word "SCALARS". Once I

char *valid_data_types[3].
std::string FindThis( "SCALARS" );
if( read_line.find( FindThis ) != std::string::npos ){
/* "SCALARS" is in read_line */
std::string FindThis1( valid_data_types[0] ); // may need 'adjusting'
(*)
if( read_line.find( FindThis1 ) != std::string::npos ){
/* valid_data_types[0] is in read_line */
}
}
Read-up on std::string and std::streams, then you'll have much power at your
command! <G>
Hope that helps. This ain't homework is it?

Nope. No teacher gives me any homework that extends my bs.c. project because
I'm not a software/electrical engineer or something like that. I'm a
mechanical engineer (studying to get my masters degree) so the only thing
the teachers want is Matlab programming. This is just so I don't forget all
I learned about c++.
I took your suggestions and implemented some of it and rewrote everything...
It's much more C++'ish, but I can't compile it...

Good. We don't like to do the homework for someone, but rather, guide a

I like to play with code, so I usually leave the homework to the guys higher

I'll check out your code in a little bit. I just wanted to mention the below:

This will put all those things in 'ctype' in the 'std::' namespace. You won't
have to change any of your code because you are using 'using namespace std;'.
(otherwise you would use 'std::isspace()'.)

It just 'initialises' the string 'FindThis' to the text to search for.
std::string FindThis( "Hi." ); // initialization
// accomplishes the same thing as:
std::string FindThis;
FindThis = "Hi."; // assignment
>I can't remember that, although I learned something about that... Do you

For a std::string or my class 'Filer'?
For 'Filer', you NEVER want to do this:
std::vector<std::string*MyPointer = new Filer("somefile.txt");
If 'std::vector' had a virtual destructor, you might get away with it (for
simplicity here, just think that an vector::iterator is a pointer. So, don't
do that either.). It can cause a memory leak due to 'slicing' (corrections by
experts are welcome.<G>).
Filer *MyPointer = new Filer("somefile.txt");
....should/*might* work, but, that's not what I intended. I keep the class
simple for simple use.

>Hmm... The above code... Perhaps it's a stupid question, but what does it

It demonstrates searching through a file ("Filer.h") for a certain text
('FindThis'). Then it 'inserts' a line into the vector (class 'Filer' is
derived from a std::vector, so, it acts like a vector.). Then it adds a line
"-- This is a copy --" to the end (using 'push_back()').
Then it writes the vector out to a file "CopyFiler.txt". You can open that
file in any text editor to verify that the original file and the new file are
different.
Does that 'splain enough?

Yes, there are many "SCALARS" entries, see output below...

You were comparing two strings for equality.
Actually this is okay, because I was lucky and figured out that the user
could just choose from this vector<stringmenu, like below:
-------
./a.out
Deleting old data files...
*******************************************
From initial data file: number_of_lines = 905
1: SCALARS Temperature double 1
2: SCALARS Porosities double 1
3: SCALARS RhoCp double 1
4: SCALARS Cell_energy double 1
5: SCALARS Residuals double 1
6: SCALARS Solidification_time double 1
7: SCALARS h0 double 1
8: SCALARS hx double 1
9: SCALARS hy double 1
10: SCALARS rx double 1
11: SCALARS ry double 1
12: SCALARS area_porosity_X double 1
13: SCALARS area_porosity_Y double 1
14: SCALARS HTC_interface_length double 1
Which datatype (number) should be converted ? 4
SCALARS Cell_energy double 1
SCALARS Cell_energy double 1
SCALARS Cell_energy double 1
SCALARS Cell_energy double 1
SCALARS Cell_energy double 1
5 number of .TeX files written
-------
So I was lucky because all the "SCALARS" lines (shown above) are in all the
input files so I can just compare two strings for equality and when they're
equal, I know that this is the data-type I want to export and I should then
consider the numbers immediately below that line/location...
But I agree, that wasn't clear because I didn't told that so nobody could
know that...

It demonstrates searching through a file ("Filer.h") for a certain text
('FindThis'). Then it 'inserts' a line into the vector (class 'Filer' is
derived from a std::vector, so, it acts like a vector.). Then it adds a line
"-- This is a copy --" to the end (using 'push_back()').
Ok, I notice that...
Then it writes the vector out to a file "CopyFiler.txt". You can open that
file in any text editor to verify that the original file and the new file are
different.
Yep, I saw that...
Does that 'splain enough?
Great, thanks... I think it does although I'll have to sit and spend
some time on it later today in the afternoon, hopefully...

I like to give credit where it's due. I forgot to mention that the heart of
'Filer.h' came from Andrew Koenig who said he learned it from Walter Brown:
ifstream file("levels\\level1.txt");
for ( string line; getline( file, line ); ) {
// whatever
}
I thought it was such a slick little piece of code that I have replaced
almost all of my 'while(readfile)' loops with it.
Of course, you pick the proper tool for the job, not make the job fit the
tool. <G>

BTW, 'unsigned int' is usually typedefed to 'size_t', so you could use that

Just thought I'd throw in a little tip here. I noticed you used the arg
'ifstream &infile'.
If you change that to 'istream &' (toss the 'f'), you can pass different
streams to it:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>
void MyFunc( std::istream &in ){
std::string temp;
in >temp; // or, std::getline( in, temp );
std::cout << temp <<std::endl;
return;
}
int main(){
// let user input something
MyFunc( std::cin ); // [1]
// use a 'set' stringstream for testing
std::istringstream MyTest( "I am what I am x 25." );
MyFunc( MyTest );
// send it a file to read
std::ifstream MyFile( "somefile.txt" );
MyFunc( MyFile );
return 0;
} // main()
[1] - I run in a GUI (wxWidgets), so, I'm not *positive* about this use. I
have tested 'std::cout' on an 'ostream&', which worked (output to dbg
debugger in IDE environ.).
Also, you mentioned you wanted to learn more about 'try/catch'. Besides many
good books, a good, free, download is Bruce Eckel's 'Thinking in C++' (vol 1
& 2). Volume 2 has a chapter on 'exceptions'. It should be enough to get you
going.

it...

C-coding project...
It looks like I'm done for now... I better stay in this group for a while
and see what else I can learn here. I appreciate your help. Now, I gotta
look at your Filer.h and TestFiler.cpp program/files... I'll be back once I
tried it more, in a few hours...

Yep, I got the download book. The only thing holding me back is the lack of
time to do so much about it... I got a lot of books I would like to read,
if I had more time. I'm also trying to get through "Accelerated C++", but
it's going really slow... This week I've got vacation, so that also
explains why in the first place I tried to program this conversion utility
in C++... Normally I would have plenty of stuff to read or do (not much
related to programming)...

Ok, now I understand the code. It basically loads everything into memory in
a vector<string>, so it can access any given line and insert lines/do
vector manipulations... But it's a bit complicated. I'm not that used to
all this inheritance and the like (although I wish I were), but it looks

You can write some nice C++ programs without ever knowing inheritance, but...
" Wow, if I had a sledge hammer instead of this machinists ballpeen hammer, I
could have knocked down that brick wall in one day instead of eight
months!!".
The more tools you have, the easier the job.
I guess you know now that you can not just sit down at your desk and declare,
"I'm going to learn C++ today!". I almost got discouraged when I read in an
NG an 'major mentor' said something like "there is no such thing as an C++
expert" (his meaning - we are all constantly learning the language). Don't
chase the rainbow looking for the pot of gold, just pick up the diamonds
along the way.
So, read when you can - books, this NG (and other C++/programming NGs
(alt.comp.lang.learn.c-c++ is another good one)), FAQs.
And code, code, and code some more! <G>
BTW - meant to ask you if you run (GNU/Linux) in a GUI. If you want an
*simple* IDE, you might take a look at:
MinGWStudio http://www.parinyasoft.com/
[ there is a Linux version, a little hard to find the link on their page, but
it's there.]
If you want full-blown, more bells-n-whistles than you need, there's
'Kdevelop'.

For your gdb prob (in other post): try the gnu NGs - gnu.g++.help,
gnu.gdb.bug, gnu.gcc.help, etc. They might have some ideas. Be sure to tell
them what version of GCC, gdb you are using.

So, you could be trying to put "\n" into a type double var.
Damn... Ok, nobody said it was easy.
""" */
Not saying that *is* your problem ( only that it *could be*).
Hmm... I can't remember what the problem was, but actually I think it
was that I had to read a whole text-line more, before trying to use
"infile >read_value"...
My current code (which works) seems just to have a getline( infile,
readline) + string comparison with readline.substr( 0, readline.find('
') ), just to make sure the program reads the data that is expected...
(if not: quit with error). And after that infile >readvalue works...
If you do find yourself in that situation, there is a little thing
'*.ignore()' that can help 'skip over' stuff stuck in the buffer.
[ A little test snippet: ]
{
std::istringstream in("15 This is a string\n 09 12345");
int num1(0);
in >num1;
in.ignore(1); // skip 1 char
Great... But I also wanted my program to compile on linux as well as on
windows, so in Windows I think it would have to skip 2 char's (0D+0A).
So that is a ugly problem... I remember I thought pretty long about what
to do, so the best thing would be to use a
"read-string-command/function" that also reads the newline character -
that would work in windows+linux. And my program seems to do so, so I
think getline( inefile, readline ) also reads the newline... Else it
must be the infile >read_value, that ignores the newline?
-snip-
If you only used standard C++ (seems like you did), it will also compile/run
for MinGW(on windows), on a Mac, or any compiler that is standard compliant
(or mostly compliant (as many are<G>) ).
Yep, it works great, at least it seems like it does so :-)

gnu.gdb.bug, gnu.gcc.help, etc. They might have some ideas. Be sure to tell

Yep... I'll just fiddle a bit more around with it... I think the culprit
is that some IDE's depend on having a makefile or else they don't know
what to do...

My wording was a little flakey. Rather than stuffing my other hoof in my
already stuffed mouth, I suggest you read the docs for:
std::getline() // <bits/basic_string.h(GCC)
and
std::istream::getline() // <istream>
My docs on those are a little old ('99), and I don't want to compound the
problem by posting them here.
I think where I misled you is that '\n' is defined differently depending on
the OS being compiled for ( I was thinking more about the file/stream pointer
(*.tellg, *.tellp).).
'getline()' reads the '\n' (1 or 2 chars), but doesn't put it in the storage
(string).
Guess I'll let this go before I have to grow a third hoof. <G>
[ easy to see why I leave the 'homework' questions to the experts. ]

Yep, clear.
'getline()' reads the '\n' (1 or 2 chars), but doesn't put it in the storage
(string).
Yep... I also found it in my "The C++ programming language" p.598,
where it says:
"The getline() function reads a line terminated by eol to its string,
expanding the string as needed to hold the line (§3.6). If no eol
argument is provided, a newline '\n' is used as the delimiter. The line
terminator is removed from the stream but not entered into the string.
Because a string expands to hold the input, there is no reason to leave
the terminator in the stream..."

[ easy to see why I leave the 'homework' questions to the experts. ]
Well, I got help with those things that troubled me. LOL :-)
Next, I'll see if I can mix a C-program with some C++ source code, which
I think is possible if I can tell MS visual studio (in linux: I think my
makefile?) that one of the source files is C++...

I think if you read/review the first three chapters of "Thinking in C++",
Volume 1, you'll reduce some problems in that task. (at least chap. 3).
It's interesting to take a 'C' program and compile it with g++, watch the
'type-safety' in action.
If you get no errors, then it was a pretty well designed 'C' program to begin
with.
[ I usually get *many* errors. (.... 'void *' to type 'double' ....).]
I think it's fun to take a single-file 'C' program and stuff the whole thing
(inc. global vars and 'main') into a 'class'. Then apply (std::) string,
fstream, vector, and it usually reduces code to 1/3. [ ain't perfect, the
executable usually explodes in size! <G>]

Ok... It'll take some days before I try it out, as I've got plenty of
things to do (too much to read)...
