/prog/ - ifstream bullshit

Name: Anonymous 2009-10-26 22:55

Why does c++ have to be so finnicky about strings? I've looked everywhere but found nothing on how to get ifstream to open a file from user input. Can you guys help me? I want this code to work but it just isn't happening. How can I make it work?

string input;
cin >> input
ifstream myfile;
myfile.open (input);

i don't know sepples, because sepples is crap.
but if you're getting the file name from stdin trying taking off the trailing newline character (replace it with null).

if it's not there then that means cin removes it and you should look for a different reason for your problem.

no it's not a problem with what the user inputs, it's a problem with the code. it won't compile like that.

Please don't make C++ slightly more useable

FACT: You can write C++ just like it's C and only use a few extra features that you need.

this post suggests that C programmers need to use C++ features. i'm quite sure you meant "that you want", and, well, we actually do not want.

Yes, that's what I meant. I'm into C myself and never bothered trying to become skilled in Sepples.
