Text Data issue

[NUj6URfi]

Hi. I would like to be able to record a word in a text file and have the program see but not print that word. Then I would like it to say

    if (text == hobbit)
    hobbit() ;

I did the functions and all the stuff about the .txt doc. But the if statement doesn't work. Does anyone know how to do an if statement to look at .txt text?

Does anyone out there know how to?

some_file_stream << "hobbit";

[NUj6URfi]

if ("Save data.txt" << "hobbit") {
hobbit() ; }

It doesn't work. Please help!!!! It says

invalid operands of types `const char[14]' and `const char[7]' to binary `operator<<'

Let assume that you have a file with the word.

std::ifstream in( "MyFile.txt" );

std::string secreat;

if ( in >> secreat ) hobbit();

I think it would be reasonable to bump the thread once in 24 hours. Four times in an hour is more like misuse of the forum in my opinion.

Sorry I am impatient.

Help??

I showed you an example how to read a word from a text file.

Good luck getting help with all your spam. You bumped 8 times in one topic within 2 hours and most of them are withing like a 10 minute period...Also I find it unclear what you are waning to do are you trying to input only if it equal to a word? or compare the result string to a word?

[NUj6URfi]

I want the program to go "this file has this text so function hobbit.

[vlad from moscow]

Is the text is a single word?

You can do this the following way

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <algorithm>
#include <iterator>

...

std::ifstream in( "MyFile.txt" );

if ( std:: find( std::istream_iterator<std::string>( in ),
                 std::istream_iterator<std::string>(),
                 "hobbit" ) != std::istream_iterator<std:;string>() )
{
   hobbit();
}

[NUj6URfi]

That gives me quite a few errors look.

if ( std:: find( std::istream_iterator<std::string>( in ),
std::istream_iterator<std::string>(),
"wizard" ) != std::istream_iterator<std:;string>() )
{
wizard();
}

Try compiling that.

[vlad from moscow]

Try to correct the errors yourself. For example change semicolon in this line to colon

"wizard" ) != std::istream_iterator<std:;string>() )

[NUj6URfi]

I never learned std and used an easier way. The other way doesn't cover this. Can you please just give me the correct code?
