Avoiding Strings

[raulkolk]

Hello.

Is there a way to avoid different strings while using fopen?

Example:

Input (the file):

Say Hello!
Hello
Name please.
John

The code:

inFile.open(aFile);
Avoid("2 string"); // Help.
inFile >> GetAString;
Avoid("next 2 strings"); // Help.
inFile >> GetAnotherString;
inFile.close();
cout << GetAString << ", my name is " << GetAnotherString << "." << endl;

Output (console screen):

Hello, my name is John.

I hope you understand what I mean.
Any help appreciated.

why, yes of course. You just read them into any of your strings and ignore what they are.

inFile >> GetAString >> GetAString; //Read 2 strings
inFile >> GetAString; //read another string, and ignore the values of the previous ones 

Other than that, you would have to operate with the unformatted data, and do the logic yourself. See here: http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/iostream/ifstream/
