How would I do this?

How would I read an entire paragraph (from a text file) into a single character array or string, doesn't matter which? How would I do that?

[webJose]

If the text file delimits paragraphs the usual way (a new line character), then just use the global function std::getline(). Even if they were delimited with some other character, I believe this function would still be able to do the job.

But what if the text file contains numerous newline characters? ARGHHHHH lawl

This should help a bit:

#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;

int main() {
  vector<string> v;
  ifstream in("Fillvector.cpp");
  string line;
  while(getline(in, line))
    v.push_back(line); // Add the line to the end
  // Add line numbers:
  for(int i = 0; i < v.size(); i++)
    cout << i << ": " << v[i] << endl;
} ///:~ 

Then after that maybe concatenate them all into one string? I'm not really sure, sorry I can't be more help.

You can write a specific format?


I think if you can, I may be able to give you help

Simply use the getline() function with the delimiter as char(26).
It should read the text into a string at once

[webJose]

If there are multiple paragraphs, and between paragraphs you have multiple newline delimiters, I believe getline() will produce an empty string. If this happens, just ignore it and move on to the next line.

What would there be a point in a getline() function if it couldn't do this? ;)
