Not displaying anything

Hey everyone I am new to this forum. I have a quite puzzling question, I am working on a piece of code that'll take words from a word list and cout them on the screen. I uploaded the file and everything I am using strtok and its using the \n as its delimiters.

Heres the code-- It did doesn't "cout" anything. Thanks

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

int func(char * filePath);


int main()
{
char intake[1024] = {'NULL'};
cout << "Enter in path of the file.\n";
cin >> intake;

func(intake);
return 0;

}


int func(char * filePath)
{
FILE * pFile;
char * x;
pFile = fopen(filePath, "r");
while (pFile != NULL)
{
x = strtok(filePath, "\n");
cout << x;
}

return 0;
}

Are you sure it didn't output anything? Maybe it did but it exited before you saw it.

I just ran your program and this is what printed.

Code:

---

Enter in path of the file.
F:/Html/htmlfiles/graphics3.htm  /* <-- I entered a file path */

F:/Html/htmlfiles/graphics3.htmF:/Html/htmlfiles/graphics3.htmF:/Html/htmlfiles/graphics3.htm
F:/Html/htmlfiles/graphics3.htmF:/Html/htmlfiles/graphics3.htmF:/Html/htmlfiles/graphics3.htm
F:/Html/htmlfiles/graphics3.htmF:/Html/htmlfiles/graphics3.htmF:/Html/htmlfiles/graphics3.htm

/* Infinite loop that continues to print the file path. I only let it run for 20 seconds. */

I am not sure if i typed the filepath correctly or not? But the infinite loop doesnt seem right.

You misused strtok. strtok takes a string and a delimiter. It read filePath as a string. I suggest you use fgets and fputs in cstdio.

Code:

---

char intake[1024] = {'NULL'};

---

What are you trying to do there?

and here?

Code:

---

while (pFile != NULL)
{
x = strtok(filePath, "\n");
cout << x;
}

---

There's nothing there that will change the value of pFile.
