Hi
i have a file name LTS_IMSBR.txt and it includes the following data:

s

I would like to extract the following data only with its corresponding values:
Subscriber number, Termination ID, Equipment ID, AGCU module number, Master/Slave type

Please if someone could provide me with a sample code.
Thank you

You should state what those errors are. I just compiled and ran @dutch's code and it ran perfectly.

Subscriber number: 3302552
Termination ID: A124
Equipment ID: 172.22.5.74:2944
AGCU module number: 23
Master/Slave type: Master

Subscriber number: 3302553
Termination ID: A290
Equipment ID: 172.22.5.65:2944
AGCU module number: 23
Master/Slave type: Slave

Subscriber number: 3312552
Termination ID: A174
Equipment ID: 172.22.5.73:2944
AGCU module number: 23
Master/Slave type: Slave

@lastchance how to i include snipped picture of the error?
dutch (2548)
You need to compile it as C++11. So with gcc, for example, you would add -std=c++11 to the compile line.
edward6 (16)
by the way im using "Dev C++" to run the code. Should i use a different software? Please advice
dutch (2548)
This might be the "latest" version of Dev C++: http://orwelldevcpp.blogspot.com/
edward6 (16)
@dutch I have installed the latest version of Dev C++ but i did not understand this step:
"You need to compile it as C++11. So with gcc, for example, you would add -std=c++11 to the compile line."

i followed the link and enabled -std=c++11. All errors are now eliminated but it doesn't give any output. Just a blank command prompt.
edward6 (16)
@lastchance which IDE did u use? it gave the desired output with any error.
dutch (2548)
@lastchance which IDE did u use? it gave the desired output with any error.

That's because he knows what he's doing.
You probably don't have the input file in the correct location.

I should've added code to check that the file was opened, like this:

1
2
3
4
5
 
    std::ifstream fin("LTS_IMSBR.txt");
    if (!fin) {
        std::cerr << "Cannot open input file.\n";
        return 1;
    }

this is the output im currently getting. the 1st 4 corresponding values is not showing.

Subscriber number:
Termination ID:
Equipment ID:
AGCU module number:
Master/Slave type: Master

Subscriber number:
Termination ID:
Equipment ID:
AGCU module number:
Master/Slave type: Slave

Subscriber number:
Termination ID:
Equipment ID:
AGCU module number:
Master/Slave type: Slave

The spacing of your input file was probably lost when you posted it.
You need to post it within "output" tags to maintain spacing so I can see what it really looks like.
Something like this:

[output]
post the text inside the output tags
[/output]

Here's a version that ignores differences in spacing:
