Read .txt into String

Nobody knows something?

Are you sure it really contains just that one line, no empty lines or something like that?

No, it is only one line without any emptys.

Well, this shouldn't be the cause of your problem, but

while(!(name.find("title"))
probably doesn't do what you want it to.

(same with

if(name.find("title"))

actually, though the bug that this would cause is very unlikely to happen).

Yes, i think I could remove that part.

But I can't find a solution for my problem.. is there no way to just read in 5 characters, check if they are those which I search and then continue?

Can you please comment the rest out and try


while(getline(f,name)) {
   cout << name << endl;
}

and post the result?

There is no output, just this..

Searching for Informations...
Opening File...
logout

Programm Code:

      string name;
            f.open("/tmp/get_video_info", ios::in);
            cout << "Opening File...\n";
            while(getline(f,name)) {
                cout << name << endl;
            }
            if(name.find("title")){
                //If its found..
            }
            else{
                cout << "Something verry strange happened...\n";
                return 1;
            }
            
        }
    }

In that case... after f.open

cout << f.good()<< endl;

Thats the Output:

Well, there we have our offender. The file apparently doesn't get opened. Either the file doesn't exist (typo in your code?) or you don't have read permissions.

Oh okay thanks:)

But what could be the reason? The file is in the Temporary Folder.. And the file does exist..

I will try some things, thanks :)

--Edit

Oky now I git this Output:

Searching for Informations...
1
Opening File...
logout

This is the Code:

     string name;
            system("chmod 777 /tmp/get_video_info");
            f2.open("/tmp/get_video_info", ios::in);
            cout << f2.good() << endl;
            cout << "Opening File...\n";
            while(getline(f2,name)) {
                cout << name << endl;
            }
            if(name.find("title")){
                //If its found..
            }
            else{
                cout << "Something verry strange happened...\n";
                return 1;
            }
            
        }
    }

I had to change f to f2 and create a new ifstream.. But still I cant read the File or?

I have code to do this. I made a class that handles strings and characters and makes this very easy. But... that would be cheating wahahahahaha

Could you just give me an example or a hint how to do this? That would really help me.. I have no idea why my code does not work :(

Oopps. Wasn't thinking. Let me correct my post.

if(name.find("title")){
//If its found..
}

The value will always be something other than 0, as long as "title" is not the very first thing in the file.

I have implemented the exact code you gave.

#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int main ( )
{
    string data;

    fstream f1;
    f1.open ( "text", ios::out );
    f1 << "hello title";
    f1.close();

    fstream f2;
    f2.open ( "text", ios::in );
    cout << f2.good ( ) << endl;
    cout << "Opening File...\n";

    while ( getline ( f2, data ) )
    {
        cout << data << endl;
    }

    if ( data.find ( "title" ) )
    {
        //If its found..
    }
    else
    {
        cout << "Something verry strange happened...\n";
        return 1;
    }

    return 0;
}

output

1
Opening File...
hello title

As you can see. Same s*** as yours. Except.. My code displays my files data.

Hmm.. but it still doesnt seem to work..

My result:

Searching for Informations...
1
Opening File...
Starts at --> 4294967295
Ends at --> 0
logout

My Code:

string name;
            system("chmod 777 /tmp/get_video_info");
            f2.open("/tmp/get_video_info", ios::in);
            cout << f2.good() << endl;
            cout << "Opening File...\n";
            while(getline(f2,name)) {
                cout << name << endl;
            }
            if(name.find("title")){
                unsigned int beginn = name.find("title");
                unsigned int ende = name.length();
                cout << "Starts at --> " << beginn << endl;
                cout << "Ends at --> " << ende << endl;
            }
            else{
                cout << "Something verry strange happened...\n";
                return 1;
            }
            
        }
    }

I want to make something like this:

string name;
            system("chmod 777 /tmp/get_video_info");
            f2.open("/tmp/get_video_info", ios::in);
            cout << f2.good() << endl;
            cout << "Opening File...\n";
            while(getline(f2,name)) {
                cout << name << endl;
            }
            if(name.find("title")){
                unsigned int beginn = name.find("title");
                unsigned int ende = name.length();
                cout << "Starts at --> " << beginn << endl;
                cout << "Ends at --> " << ende << endl;
                string RealTitle = name.substr(beginn,ende);
                cout << "The Title is: " << RealTitle << endl;
            }
            else{
                cout << "Something verry strange happened...\n";
                return 1;
            }
            
        }
    }

But it does not work..
