    Cant read text files?

    Hey!

    I have a very simple program, nothing much:

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <fstream>
    #include <sstream>
    
    using namespace std;
    
    string InfoCollectDataHolder;
    
    class ParseText
    {
        public:
            ParseText();
            ~ParseText();
            void Parse();
        protected:
    };
    
    ParseText::ParseText()
    {
    
    }
    
    ParseText::~ParseText()
    {
    
    }
    
    void ParseText::Parse()
    {
        ifstream FileToParse("InfoCollect.txt");
    
        if (FileToParse)
        {
            ostringstream oss;
    
            oss << FileToParse.rdbuf();
    
            InfoCollectDataHolder = oss.str();
        }
    
        else
        {
            InfoCollectDataHolder = "Sorry, couldn't open file...";
        }
    
        cout<<InfoCollectDataHolder;
    }
    
    int main()
    {
        ParseText ParseExample;
        ParseExample.Parse();
        cin.get();
    }
    And of course right next to it, I have the text file it wants. But it just gives me the error, showing it can't open the file...

    Any clue on this one?

    Thanks!

    Remove:
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    and it works fine.

    Re: Cant read text files?

    is stdio.h a windows only type header?

    Thanks, will do!

    stdio.h is for C I/O, so you don't need it. And check your file names and path again, this program works just fine for me.

    I know this sounds stupid, but you're sure the names are exactly the same? I spent like 5 hours discovering that one once.

    Me too. That taught me! Now I just copy the filename straight to the file
    I would think that the paths are correct. Its right next to it...
    I'll try just restarting C::B and see if it just didn't need restarted. That seems to happen from time to time... :/

    Ok, I don't know what's going on. It still doesn't work!
    Is the fault most likely in the IDE? C::B has screwed around before with my stuff.

    Re: Cant read text files?

    I just copy and pasted it into a text file and used g++ to compile it. I copied the source code into the data file too, then ran the a.out that g++ produced. The code was echoed to the screen as it should have been. Try doing it that way and see if it works. If so, then it must be your IDE that is messsing things up. If not, you have bigger problems...

    Re: Cant read text files?

    I can confirm what yabbadabbadont said. With or without stdio.h, the program compiles and runs fine for me. I also opened it up in Code::Blocks (version svn 3816--the April 6 build), and it also compiles and runs fine when I hit F9 ("Build and Run").

    I am new to Code::Blocks, so I don't know all its options. Perhaps you are running it in a way that makes it execute the program in a different directory? Take a look in the "Messages" area. What is the command that it is using to run the program?
