Need help!

Yea hello all..

Would like help in spliting up my string which is in a text file.

EG. Name,Class,Classroom,etc

How would i be able to print lets say, classroom?

Really depends on how you've stored the data.

If you provide some sample code, it'd be a lot easier to advise.

hi
you probably used fstream library and saved in

ofstream save ("something.txt");

and than

save<< Name<<' '<<classroom; //and so on

now you have it in your txt file and all you need to do is make another function where you return whatever you need.

ifstream save ("something.txt");
save>> Name>> classroom; //and so on
return Name; // or classroom;

void CFunct::avgSal()
{

	ifstream file ("file.txt");

	int found;
	int count = 0;
	float sum = 0;
	float salary = 0;
	float avg = 0;
	string line;
	float tempdip = CLect::salary;

	found = CPerson::type.find(tempdip);

	while (!file.eof())
	{	
		getline(file,line);

		if(found = line.find(tempdip, 0) != line.npos)
		{
			
			file >> CLect::salary;
			sum += CLect::salary;
			count ++;

		}
	}

	cout << sum << endl;

	cout << "Average Salary: " << salary << endl;


	file.close();
};

Right now this function would be incomplete, but mainly i am stuck with how i would skip the commas in the text file and take out a certain part of the line

void CFunct::insertlec()
{
	CPerson::getinfo();

	CPerson::type = "Lecturer";

	cout << "Room: ";
	cin >> CLect::room;

	cout << "Salary: ";
	cin >> CLect::salary;

	ofstream file ("file.txt",ios::app);
	
	file << CPerson::type << ",";
	file << CPerson::name << ",";
	file << CPerson::nric << ",";
	file << CLect::room << ",";
	file << CLect::salary << ",";
	file << CPerson::year << ",";
	file << CPerson::month << ",";
	file << CPerson::day << endl;
	
	file.close();

};

this is how i store the data in the txt file.

@mirec

Yea but thats the problem, i have to for example "Name,class,classroom" i would only need to print out "class" but i have no idea how to skip the commas in the line and only print out that certain part of the line
