[RESOLVED] File loading help
I'm still a beginner to c++ and just learning how to read and write files. I've tried to add a way to save and load Monsters. The saving part saves it until the next time I run the program. And the loading part doesn't load anything (may have to do with the saving). Please Help
EDIT:
Snippets of code with loading and saving
creating the objects
Code:
//SAVED MONSTER OBJECT
ofstream saveMobj("Monsters.txt");
ifstream readMobj("Monsters.txt");
asking if you want to load
Code:
cout<<"do you want to load your Monster?? 1(yes)/0(no) \n";
cin>>LoadMonster;
if(LoadMonster == 0){
loading
Code:
//LOADING YOUR MONSTER
if(LoadMonster == 1){
cout<<"Loading 'em up! \n";
readMobj>>HeadM1>>BodyTM1>>BodyMM1>>BodyBM1>>NameM1>>LevelM1>>TypeM1>>HealthM1>>ArmourM1>>AttackM1;
readMobj.close();
}
saving
Code:
cout<<endl<<" do you want to save your monster? 1(yes)/0(no) \n";
cin>>saveInput;
if(saveInput == 1){
saveMobj<<Mhead[HeadM1]<<endl
<<Mbody1[BodyTM1]<<endl<<Mbody2[BodyMM1]<<endl<<Mbody3[BodyBM1]<<endl<<endl<<
" Name: "<<Mname[NameM1]<<endl<<
" Level: "<<LevelM1<<endl<<
" Type: "<<Mtype[TypeM1]<<endl<<
" Health: "<<HealthM1<<endl<<
" Armour: "<<ArmourM1<<endl<<

saveMobj.close();
cout<<"saved! \n";
}

1. Could you provide the code snippets showing how you save and how you load Monsters?
2. How did you check that "The saving part works great"?
3. Did you try to debug to see whether your "load" is really called and works or fails?

1:
creating the objects
Code:
//SAVED MONSTER OBJECT
ofstream saveMobj("Monsters.txt");
ifstream readMobj("Monsters.txt");
asking if you want to load
Code:
cout<<"do you want to load your Monster?? 1(yes)/0(no) \n";
cin>>LoadMonster;
if(LoadMonster == 0){
loading
Code:
//LOADING YOUR MONSTER
if(LoadMonster == 1){
cout<<"Loading 'em up! \n";
readMobj>>HeadM1>>BodyTM1>>BodyMM1>>BodyBM1>>NameM1>>LevelM1>>TypeM1>>HealthM1>>ArmourM1>>AttackM1;
readMobj.close();
}
saving
Code:
cout<<endl<<" do you want to save your monster? 1(yes)/0(no) \n";
cin>>saveInput;
if(saveInput == 1){
saveMobj<<Mhead[HeadM1]<<endl
<<Mbody1[BodyTM1]<<endl<<Mbody2[BodyMM1]<<endl<<Mbody3[BodyBM1]<<endl<<endl<<
" Name: "<<Mname[NameM1]<<endl<<
" Level: "<<LevelM1<<endl<<
" Type: "<<Mtype[TypeM1]<<endl<<
" Health: "<<HealthM1<<endl<<
" Armour: "<<ArmourM1<<endl<<
" Attack: "<<AttackM1<<endl;
saveMobj.close();
cout<<"saved! \n";
}
if(saveInput == 0){
cout<<" ok then... \n";
}
2: Actually (I'm writing this before I edit my post), I just noticed I saves it till the next I run the program and I'm checking by pulling up the .txt file which it saves to.
3: I tried, but I have no clue to to use it.

Re: File loading help
Code:
ofstream saveMobj("Monsters.txt");
ifstream readMobj("Monsters.txt");
The problem is here. ofstream opens the file for output and clears the file. Thus when you then come to read from it, the file is empty!
You can use fstream to open the file file for both input and output and use seekg() and seekp() to position the file pointer to where you want read/write to start from. See http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/fstream/fstream/
Or possibly easier, you open the file as ofstream in the code to write to the file then close it when write has finished and open the file as ifstream in the code to read from the file and close it when finished. That way the file is only open when needed.
Also note that its good practice to check that a file has been opened successfully before an attempt is made to read/write to it. See is_open().
PS If you write a string to a file via stream insertion (<<) and it contains white space chars (newline, space, tab) then you cannot read it back properly via sream extraction (>>) as string stream extraction stops when it finds a white space char.
All advice is offered in good faith only. All my code is tested (unless stated explicitly otherwise) with the latest version of Microsoft Visual Studio (using the supported features of the latest standard) and is offered as examples only - not as production quality. I cannot offer advice regarding any other c/c++ compiler/IDE or incompatibilities with VS.

You fixed my code again! I changed ofstream to fstream and I realized it wasn't actually saving the values for the Monster rather the look and stats.
