Need help in writing to a file with delimeter

[manjuks]

Hi,

I have some different types of data like

Employee number
Employee Name
Employee sex
.
.
.
etc

These Data I will read from stdin.

These data I need to write to a file with pipe (|) as delimiter?
How can I do this? Is there any library function for this.
Please give me a pointer where I can get information on this.

Thanks,
Manjunath

| is just a character, write it to the file. It only has special meaning on the command line of Dos, Windows and *nix boxes. It has no special meaning in C or C++.

That means, there is no library function like fprintf. We need to write our own function to accomplish this.

Thanks,

Where do you think fprintf originated? :D

It's in C just check any standard library reference. But '|' has no special meaning in fprintf or any other C standard library function. The only characters with any special meaning in strings in C are \ which is the escape character indicating that what comes next has a special meaning and % which in *printf format strings starts a format specifier. There are no other characters in C that, taken alone, have special meanings in strings.
