ifstream

Hi. When i'm add the fstream header to my project, i'm getting this error : 'EOF': undeclared identifier. It's happens only in leadwerk project. Why is it?

I'm trying to parse a custom file like this code:

entityDef weapon_shotgun 
{
    "weapon_name"               "weapon_shotgun"
    "def_projectile"            "projectile_bullet_shotgun"
    "ammoType"                  "ammo_shells"
    "ammoRequired"              "1"
    "clipSize"                  "8"
    "mtr_flashShader"           "muzzleflash"
}

so i can generate my entities from it.

Try including <iostream.h> in your project.

I think thats the right header... I'm not sure...

 

Leadwerks also has an inbuilt filesystem, have you tried using that?

This is because EOF is conflicting with stream->EOF. What are you trying to do that the engine's stream class can't?

For some brilliant reason they made a #define for EOF and I had to undef it in the engine headers.

I'm trying to get it line by line with stop delimeter. I don't know if it exist in Stream class but simply i'm trying this..

ifstream myfile(filename);

if(myfile.is_open())
{
    string item;
    string name;
    string type;
    while(!myfile.eof())
    {
        getline(myfile,item,'|');
        
        getline(myfile,name,'|');
        while(getline(myfile,type,'|'))
        {
                cout<<type<<endl;
        }
        getline(myfile,type,'\n');
    }
    myfile.close();
}

Maybe i can do some extraction after stream->ReadLine()

Something like this will work (from memory):

auto s = LoadString("myfile.txt");
auto sarr = String::Split(s,"|");
