    How to know if Key in Vector does not exist / If File has write permissions

    Hi all,

    I have 2 questions to ask, and I decided to ask them in a single thread (to save space for the other forum goers).

    1. How to find if a key in a vector doesnt exist?

    Ex. There is a hash_map Dictionary defined Dictionary[<string>, <string>] (meaning the key is represented as a “string”, and the value is also a string

    If I have something like this:

    hash_map <string, string> Dictionary;

    string doesNotExist = “does not exist”
    string DictValue = Dictionary[doesNotExist];

    It should identify that the Key for that Dictionary does not exist.

    It does not error however, but it returns a blank string "". I want to identify if the key does not exist since it may be possible that the key exists but also contains a blank string "".

    2. How to find if a file is writable to or not?

    The problem I have is the file can be opened if it has read permissions but it cannot be written to since it has no write permissions. I am imagining something like this:

    If(myFile.isopen())
    {
    If(myFile.isWriteable)
    {
    //write to the file
    }
    Else
    {
    Printf(“Error: File is not writable”);
    }
    }

    I tried searching but all I find is if the file exists, etc.

    Thank you all for the future help!
