infile.peek function

Nov 20th, 2007

Hello, I am trying to "peek" the next character to see if it is a character. If the word exceeds the max linelength it should be written in the next line with the count starting from zero again.

for example:
if the max line length is 10,

The max
length is
10.

rather than

The max le
ngth is 10

is this the correct if function?

 cplusplus Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
if (current >= linelength)
		{
			char a;
			if(isalpha(infile.peek()))
			{
				outfile.put('\n');
				count = 0;
			}
			else
				outfile.put(current);
			count++;
              }
if (current >= linelength)
		{
			char a;
			if(isalpha(infile.peek()))
			{
				outfile.put('\n');
				count = 0;
			}
			else
				outfile.put(current);
			count++;
              }

thank you!
