Seperate file to anothers (with random lines)

[bufospro]

Hi all,
I have a file with data 300 lines. (in.txt)

I want to make a program that seperates the file in two others (out1.txt, out2.txt).
But I would like to do it with percentage.

For example,
Percentage (%): 50

and seperate the in.txt file in the middle but with random lines from the file.

A line that is in the out1.txt there is no in out2.txt

Could you help me please ?

Get a random value MOD 2. If 0, output to out1.txt. If 1, out2.txt.

Simple Random Selection Without Replacement From a Finite Population

1. Let [b]P[/b] be the fraction of lines to be written into the first file ( [b]P[/b] == 0.63 => 63% )

2. Read all the 300 or so lines from the input file into a [b]std::vector< std::string >[/b]

3. Let [b]N[/b] be the size of the vector (number of lines read)

4. Shuffle the contents of the vector using [b]std::random_shuffle()[/b]

5. Let [b]M[/b] be [b]P * N[/b] rounded to the nearest integer

6. Write the first [b]M[/b] lines into the first output file.

7. Write the remaining [b]N-M[/b] lines into the second output file.

I found the N and read all the lines but I don't understand how to do the others

You need to read lines (not individual strings) from the file. Use std::getline() for that.

std::string someName ;
while( std::getline( infile, someName ) )
    name_vec.push_back(someName);

See: http://www.arachnoid.com/cpptutor/student2.html

Then use std::random_suffle() to randomly shuffle the contents of the vector.
See: http://stdcxx.apache.org/doc/stdlibref/random-shuffle.html

Do not forget to seed the random number generator in main.
