file.close

Oct 12th, 2009

I've written a program like the follow:

int main ()
{
	.
	.
	.
	.
 
 
	ifstream file1;
	ifstream file2;
	ofstream simiralities;
	simiralities.open("P(0)_P(1).txt", ios::app);
	file1.open("test1.txt", ios::in);
 
	while (!file1.eof())
	{
		.
		.
		.
 
 
		file2.open("test2.txt", ios::in);
 
 
		while (!file2.eof())
		{
 
			.
			.
			.
			.
 
		}
 
		file2.close();
 
 
	}
 
	simiralities<<number;
	file1.close();
	simiralities.close();
 
	return 0;
}
int main ()
{
	.
	.
	.
	.
	

	ifstream file1;
	ifstream file2;
	ofstream simiralities;
	simiralities.open("P(0)_P(1).txt", ios::app);
	file1.open("test1.txt", ios::in);
	
	while (!file1.eof())
	{
		.
		.
		.


		file2.open("test2.txt", ios::in);
		
				
		while (!file2.eof())
		{
			
			.
			.
			.
			.
			
		}

		file2.close();
				
		
	}

	simiralities<<number;
	file1.close();
	simiralities.close();

	return 0;
}

the inner loop just works for the first time. from the scond time in outer loop, I can't inter the inner loop. I gusse there migth be a problem with file.close().

Maybe a file2.clear() would be helpful because upon completion of the first loop the eof bit remains set.

If you are forced to reinvent the wheel at least try to invent a better one!
