Open file fopen() and print values

[Meetee]

uh.. Can you tell me how to read from a file that says:
[USER]
Energy=50
Health=30

[COMPUTER]
Energy=100
Health=10

Now, how do i search values for USER and display its energy and health, and same for computer

That can be done. :))

Refer this link

You will get an idea of how to do this..!

Any other way to search stuff in []

Let me be more clear.

 (from http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/files.html)
// reading a text file
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main () {
  string line;
  ifstream myfile ("example.txt");
  if (myfile.is_open())
  {
    while (! myfile.eof() )
    {
      getline (myfile,line);
      /*here you can compare : line == "user" than take health and energy
      and apply logic accordingly*/
      cout << line << endl;
    }
    myfile.close();
  }

  else cout << "Unable to open file"; 

  return 0;
}

should i use fgetstring?

getline (myfile,line) would work for that! where line is string read from myfile.

Good luck :)

PS Search on google..u will get gr8 help!

how do i take health and energy lol :S

and also, if i search for USER, that name might change later on, so how do i make string search for specific person

So you are making file having many users? Then also this loop will iterate until u get the person u want.

while (! myfile.eof() )
{
getline (myfile,line);
cout << line << endl;
}

COMPARISON
cout << line << endl;
}

Sorry for double posting!!!

[Wolkec]

so, basicly, that extracts the text, should i use if to compare the string?

[Wolkec]

so, loop inside loop, or somethink else?

You know you should really consider taking time to read a c++ tutorial on file handling. Getting the program to work might be cool but knowing how to get the program to work is even better.

How do i display the values of the users :S
lol :)

[Wolkec]

1 string for each type (health, energy)?

[Wolkec]

and how do i dislpay the user inside []
