Reading in a arff file

[sfisher85]

Hey guys,

I cant seem to figure this one out and I looked everywhere for it. My question is how do I read this line of text from an input file into an array

@attribute outlook {sunny, overcast, rainy}

I want to put the word outlook, sunny, overcast, and rainy into an array or just atleast into strings but without the "{" and the ",". I am writing this in c++.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

You could do them individually. As long as you didn't have too many...
attribute[i] = "sunny"
attribute[i+1] = "overcast"
etc...

I think his question is not so much how to get the array working, but how to read that line from a file and be able to separate the words from each other.

I'd start by reading the line into a string variable, and then using .find() to find the 'limits' of each word - for example, to get outlook, you know it is between a space and a '{', so you can use .find() and .substr() to isolate that word.

That makes much more sense - I got confused with the notation, as that's how you represent an array in PERL.
