Help: Program For My Class

[Apolakkiatis]

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME.... I HAVE TO REMOVE THE LEADING WHITESPACE IN THIS PROGRAM FOR MY CSE CLASS!!!

IT'S DUE IN A FEW HOURS

PRETTY MUCH IT'S A PROGRAM TO CHANGE NUMBERS FROM ACCOUNTING STYLE TO COMPUTER NUMBERS

FOR EXAMPLE: ($3,432.54) BECOMES -3432.54

IN THE INSTRUCTIONS WE HAVE TO GET RID OF THE LEADING WHITESPACE AND I CAN'T DO IT....

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
#include <fstream>
 
using namespace std;
 
int main()
{
    char InputC;
    ifstream IValues;
    ofstream OValues;
 
    IValues.open("Input Values.txt");
 
    if(IValues.fail())
    {cout << "ERROR: Your accounting file did not open.";
    return 1;}
 
    OValues.open("Output File.txt");
 
    while (!IValues.eof())
    {
    IValues.get(InputC);
    switch(InputC)
    {
    case ' ' : {if (IValues.peek() == ' ' || IValues.peek() == '\t' )
                   break;
               else OValues << " ";} 
    case '\t': {if (IValues.peek() == '\t' || IValues.peek() == ' ' )
                    break;
               else OValues << " ";}
    case '$' : break;
    case ',' : break;
    case '(' : OValues << '-';
    case ')' : break;
    case '.' : OValues << ".";
                break;
    case '1' : OValues << "1";
                break;
    case '2' : OValues << "2";
                break;
    case '3' : OValues << "3";
                break;
    case '4' : OValues << "4";
                break;
    case '5' : OValues << "5";
                break;
    case '6' : OValues << "6";
                break;
    case '7' : OValues << "7";
                break;
    case '8' : OValues << "8";
                break;
    case '9' : OValues << "9";
                break;
    case '0' : OValues << "0";
                break;
    case '\n' : OValues << "\n";
    default  : break;
    }}
 
 
 
    return 0;}

P.s. I Also Have To Make The Tabs And Spaces One Space

[Lintwurm]

Instead of: IValues.get(InputC)

Just do a normal in... for instance cin<<variable...
instead of variable.get(cin)

The .get function just means that whatever is in front of the word, it will get used as well...
doing a normal cin (as example)... This will ignore whitespace...

As far as I know


Hope this help =)

Apolakkiatis-
