Reading .txt file into program

[danielmtnz]

I'm working with parallel arrays, one handles the titles and the other handles the ratings. Now everything works fine if the title doesn't start with a number, but if I decide to use a number infront of the title, when it reads it from the .txt file it thinks it is part of the rating.

I know why it is doing this, but don't know how to fix it.

Here is what I mean:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44

LOADING DATA FROM FILE... MENU

1. Add Movie 2. Print All 3. Exit ------------------------------------------------------ Enter 1-3 : 2 PRINT ALL ------------------------------------------------------ Hitch 98% FRESH Happy Gilmore 99% FRESH Transformers 2 100% FRESH SpongeBob 10% ROTTEN MENU ------------------------------------------------------ 1. Add Movie 2. Print All 3.

Add Movie 2. Print All 3. Exit ------------------------------------------------------ Enter 1-3 : 3 SAVED TO FILE.

And this is what loads after the file has been saved:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19

As you can see, the '2' from 2 Fast 2 Furious went to the rating in SpongeBob.

Here is what it looks like inside the .txt file:

Hitch| 98Happy Gilmore| 99Transformers 2| 100SpongeBob| 102 Fast 2 Furious| 100

Here is my code:

void SaveToFile(const string titles[], const int ratings[], int count)
{
	string filename;
	ofstream outfile;
	filename = "tomatoes.txt";
	outfile.open(filename);
	PrintToText(outfile, titles, ratings, count);
	WriteLine(cout, '=', 54);
	cout << "SAVED TO FILE.";
}

void PrintToText(ostream& out, const string titles[], const int ratings[], int count)
{
	for(int i = 0; i < count; i++)
    {
        out << titles[i] << '|' << " " <<  ratings[i];
	}
}

void LoadFromFile(string titles[], int ratings[], int& count)
{
    ifstream infile;
    infile.open("tomatoes.txt");
    if(!infile || !infile.is_open())
    {
        count = 0;
    }
    else
    {
        WriteLine(cout, '=', 54);
        cout << "LOADING DATA FROM FILE..." << endl;
        
        while( !infile.eof() )
        {
            getline(infile, titles[count], '|');
            infile >> ratings[count];
            count++;
        }
    }
}

void PrintAll(ostream& out, const string titles[], const int ratings[], int count)
{
	WriteLine(out, '=', 54);
	out << "PRINT ALL" << endl;
	WriteLine(out, '-', 54);
    
	for(int i = 0; i < count; i++)
	{
        out << setw(37) << left << titles[i]
        << right << setw(6) << ratings[i] <<  "%"
        << setw(10) << RatingToString(ratings, i) << endl;
	}
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Best way for doing this is keep all your data in Structures.Then you can save and retrive your data correctly

[danielmtnz]

In structures? What do you mean by that?

So the way I'm doing it, it isn't possible?

Anyone else have any input on this?

Thank you.

I have resolved my previous question but have updated the first post with another one relating to my previous question.

Edit: Code added to first post.
