I've also removed the quotation marks inside my input file & have the same result
jlb (4973)
Okay, so if the only problem is that you're not getting any output you need to find out where things are going wrong.

So start by making sure your split() function is actually doing what you think it is. Start by printing out the vector returned by the function and insure it is what you think it is.

By the way there are easier ways of parsing a CSV file than what you are doing. Have you considered using stringstreams to parse each line into an Item?

seeplus (6599)
Given the original input file with "", this code produces the expected output. I hadn't tried my previous codeas it was just based upon previous and no file sample.

Note that the code to remove the " is not robust and if the format changes (etc spaces etc) won't work properly.

ahh okay that makes sense, i have one final question, since i'm inputting this from a file, where in the code do i have to make changes to adjust my output file?
FanOfThe49ers (149)
Is it this, and you adjust the numbers?

/* Display the headings for each column, with spacing and justification flags */
	printf("%-12s%-30s%-15s%-8s\n", "partNumber", "partName", "partQuantity", "price");

What output file?? The 2 printf() statements display to the console (why printf() in a C++ program?). If you want to output to a file, then you'll need to open the file for output and then write the required data to this file. Depending upon how you want to write to the file (fprintf() or C++ output stream) depends upon how you open the output file.

Changing the 2 printf() statements will adjust how the data is displayed in the console window.

	int tokenStart = 0, delimPosition = s.find(delim);

	// While string is not at end:
	while (delimPosition != string::npos)


Be careful, the above code may not work as expected since std::string.find() doesn't return an int.


Also mixing C-stdio functions and C++ streams is not recommended.

FanOfThe49ers (149)
I meant adjusting the console window, so that if i change the 3rd column name from "quantity" to "quantity in stock" it won't interfere with the price column. So if i could just move the 4th column over a couple spaces i'd be done
seeplus (6599)
Change the heading printf() till it is as required. Then adjust the format of the data printf() so that the data aligns with the header as required when displayed.
FanOfThe49ers (149)
i suppose fprintf() is what is needed
FanOfThe49ers (149)
The values next to the percentage?

seeplus (6599)
fprintf() will output to a specified FILE* stream which will need to have been opened for ouitput. This is the C way to output to a file. The C++ way is to use stream insertion (<<) into an ofstream object.
FanOfThe49ers (149)
I'm not really sure what that means lol i'm new to programming
FanOfThe49ers (149)
So could i use fprintf() in my main() after showitems?
jlb (4973)
No, you should be using C++ streams, not the old C stdio methods.

seeplus (6599)
You'll first need to open a file for output (like you did for input). How do you want the data to be written to the file - the same as to the screen or differently?

FanOfThe49ers (149)
I want the file i wrote to be written to the new file called prog2.out i'm just not sure where to do that
FanOfThe49ers (149)
My teacher wants us to use some of the old C ways as well, that's why i'm confused about some of the stuff you guys are showing me.
FanOfThe49ers (149)
I want to keep my original code instead of just mostly using someone elses code. Here is my original format. The only problem with mine is that the console window only shows the headers and one string from inside the file, and says null instead of zero.

Part Number         Description                   Quantity in Stock        Price
25483                "Special Order Widget"       (null)                   3100.00
