Hello all. I am having a small problem here. Im trying to code a text editor in c++ console. I have the majority of it done, but am running into a small problem. I was able to accept input(text), put it into a two-demensional array and store it in a text file. NOw i am on the part where the user will choose a row from the array and edit that line. I am having problems with IFSTREAM, taking in the text file text and displaying it exactly as it appears. I am able to get the text but for some odd reason whenever i enter a space between words, the IFSTREAM output displays this on a new line. I will include the code, any help appreciated. #include <iostream> #include <stdlib.h> #include <fstream> #include <string> using namespace std; char text[24][81]; char text1[24][81]; int row,col; int counter; int subscript_1; //row int subscript_2; int editrow; int x; int choice; string end; int main() { start: system("cls"); cout<<"1.New"; cout<<'\n'; cout<<"2.Edit"; cout<<'\n'; cin>>choice; if(choice==1) { system("cls"); ofstream example ("example.txt"); cout<<"Type EXIT to quit and save text."; cout<<'\n'; cout<<'\n'; //prompt for(subscript_1=0;subscript_1<24;subscript_1++) { gets(text[subscript_1]); //row will increment after they hit enter if(text[subscript_1][0]=='E'&&text[subscript_1][1]=='X'&&text[subscript_1][2]=='I'&&text[subscript_1][3]=='T') { cout<<"Data saved to file.\n"; goto start; } example<<text[subscript_1]<<endl;//will put text into file } example.close(); } if(choice==2) { for(subscript_1=0;subscript_1<24;subscript_1++) { if(text[subscript_1][0]=='E'&&text[subscript_1][1]=='X'&&text[subscript_1][2]=='I'&&text[subscript_1][3]=='T') { goto edit; } puts(text[subscript_1]); } } edit: //edit cout<<"\n\n"; ifstream example2; example2.open("example.txt",ios::in); for(subscript_1=0;subscript_1<24;subscript_1++) { example2>>text1[subscript_1]; puts(text1[subscript_1]); } example2.close(); return 0; } //no errors
