Reading Integers with defined characters C++

[thelearnerkh]

I'm trying to parse a file that has has integers and strings in a CSV file. There in columns and rows and would like to read a integer and string in "" based on a character i and s.

This is what the table looks like:

SessionAbortCount i=2282 UInt32
SessionTimeoutCount i=2281 UInt32
OUT.CV ns=2;s=0:SIGGEN/SG1/OUT.CV Float
OUT.CV ns=2;s=0:SIGGEN/SG10/OUT.CV Float
OUT.CV ns=2;s=0:SIGGEN/SG100/OUT.CV Float


I need advice and help on how to parse the value i to an integer and when it reads a s puts in "". Currently I can read the whole file, but it reads all as a string. when I would like it to see i it will be a integer and if its a s its a string but it puts it as "".

Here my code so far.

        cout << "Display Name: " << lines[i].values[0].c_str() << endl;

you don't need to do any manual string to int work nor add quotes.

read the data as text. find the i= as a token, and place that in the largest type c++ supports (eg uint64_t) (that way you can ignore its type from excel and just use a type that can handle anything, less complicated) when you find the i=, you can split out the substring from there up to the next token (space? where are your commas in that csv??!) and call stoi (string to int) or use a stringstream or whatnot to shovel it into the target integer.

for strings its less intense, you only need the token s= and then grab to the next delimiter as a substring and its done.

when you output, you can stream out the int and it generates text naturally (cout << x, right, x is an int type and its all good) but if you need to add quotes to an output, manually insert the \" symbol into the string (s+= '\"'; s+= yoursubstring; s+= '\"'; )

I'm not sure what you want when you get an s? This code will display the chars from the following : to the terminating space. If this isn't what you want, given the input data then would you provide what the output should be please.

#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <cstdlib>

int main() {
	if (std::ifstream ifs { "nodes.txt" })
		for (std::string line; std::getline(ifs, line); ) {
			if (auto fndi { line.find("i=") }; fndi != std::string::npos)
				std::cout << std::strtoull(line.data() + fndi + 2, nullptr, 10) << '\n';

			if (auto fnds { line.find("s=") }; fnds != std::string::npos)
				if (auto fndc { line.find(':') }; fndc != std::string::npos)
					std::cout << line.substr(fndc + 1, line.find(' ', fndc + 1) - fndc - 2) << '\n';
		}
	else
		return (std::cout << "Issue opening file\n"), 1;
}

Obviously if this is what is wanted, then instead of just displaying the data, it can be used/saved etc etc.
