Hello all,
I'm trying to parse a file, but for some reason, getline is combining my two letter words with other words.
Here is the portion of code I'm working with: note: my program will always ignore the first word in a line
char line[256];
string word;
char *line2=new char();
fgets(line, 256, in); //get the line from the in stream (which contains the file)
if (feof(in))
return;
printf("%s",line); //print first line
strncpy(line2,line,(strlen(line)-1)); //copy the line into a char pointer, minus the newline char
string str;
str.assign(line2); //copy the line2 char* into a string, this maybe be redundent
stringstream s(str); //set s as a sstream reading from the str
getline(s, word, ' '); //gets the first word, which I do not use
while (getline(s, word, ' ')){ //gets the following words in the line in order and parses
cout<<"word is " << word << endl;
//pseudo code here where if the current parsed word is recognized, then the program prints something, otherwise it will recurse to the next line, not really important here
}For example, say in my file I have
pet CAT AB
When I use my cout to check my parsed words, I would see CAT, then ABCAT. Any reason why? Thanks.
