file.close

[hodaAgh]

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;
}

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.

       // A good way to check if a file has been opened-

      if (! file1)

      {
       cout << "error opening file" << endl;
       return -1;
      /*Your program isn't opening your files correctly, and will exit here. Have a gander & see what you can come up with*/

It solved my problem.
