Hello I figured out my other problem, now left with another 2. One which I beleive is a logic error since if I enter A it will output AA but I cant seem to solve that one.
Also the other is that I'm using app (append). How can I delete the contents of the file when its no longer needed?
void hangman::writefile(char ch)
{
textfile = ch;
ofstream outfile; //writes to txt
outfile.open("new.txt", ios::app);
if (outfile.fail())
{
cerr << "error";
exit(1);
}
else
{
outfile << textfile;
}
outfile.close();
}here the code for the outstream buffer...
and now heres the code for the instream buffer...
void hangman::readfile()
{
ifstream infile ; // reads from txt
infile.open("new.txt");
if (infile.fail())
{
cerr << "Error";
exit(1);
}
else
while( ! infile.eof() )
{
cout << textfile;
infile >> textfile;
}
infile.close();
}I'm 100% certain the problem lies :
while( ! infile.eof() )
{
cout << textfile;
infile >> textfile;
}but I cant figure out how to correct it. if i move cout under the infile i get 2 of the last entires the same, if i leave it as it is i get 2 of the first ones........any ideas?
