Basically, I want to make a simple function for a larger project, this will actually end up as a Header file that handles all my inventory. Any who, I just want it to be able to read/pull/input the Data from a .csv file format... Or I can even do a .txt if it is easier to make this function work, As long as I can open it up in MS Excel and edit the items and add new items, when the function is ran it will Open up "Example.csv" and for example, the function will look for the cell in Column 1 - 'sSwordName' and it will pull the data in the row FOLLOWING that cell, excluding that first column completely in all the inputs essentially... It will group it together, or what ever it may have to do in order to ASSIGN it to that Variable. Please see Code.h (Comments) to see my questions about my source code.
Code.h -
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
#include <sstream>
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
char sSwordName[100][25] = {};
int sSwordLvlR[100] = {};
vector<string> split_at_commas(const string & row)
{
vector<string> res;
istringstream buf(row);
string s;
while (getline(buf, s, ','))
res.push_back(s);
return res;
system("pause");
}
/* Question 1: Where & How do I properly add 'ifstream wInv("Example.csv");' in order to Load the CSV file it is reading? */
/* Question 2: Line 38 & 46. */
/* Question 3: Line 39 & 47 */
int main()
{
int i = 1;
string line;
string row;
vector<string> values = split_at_commas(line);
if (values[0] == "sSwordName")
{
for(int i = 1; i < values.size(); ++i);
{
/*int i error: Object must have a pointer-to-object type*/
sSwordName[100][25][i - 1] = /*How do I convert string to char?*/(vector[i]);
}
}
else if (values[1] == "sSwordLvlR")
{
for(int i = 1; i < values.size(); ++i);
{
/*int i error: Object must have a pointer-to-object type*/
sSwordLvlR[i - 1] = /*How do I Convert string to int?*/(vector[i]);
}
}
}
/* Question 4: Is there anything else that is wrong in this? If so, how would I fix it */
Example.csv -
sSwordName,Wooden Shortsword,Bronze Shortsword,Iron Shortsword,Steel Shortsword,Titanium Shortsword
sSwordLvlR,1,3,5,6,10
More Information On The CSV:
sSwordName,Wooden Shortsword,Bronze Shortsword,Iron Shortsword,Steel Shortsword,Titanium Shortsword
sSwordLvlR,1,3,5,6,10
^Is not the ONLY way I can format it, for convenience I can do something like this (Below, E2.csv). If it is easier to make the function, function.;
sSwordName,"Wooden Shortsword","Bronze Shortsword","Iron Shortsword","Steel Shortsword","Titanium Shortsword"
sSwordLvlR,"1,","3,","5,","6,","10,"
I can even format it in this way;
sSwordName,"{"Wooden Shortsword","Bronze Shortsword","Iron Shortsword","Steel Shortsword","Titanium Shortsword"};
sSwordLvlR,"{1,3,5,6,10};"
Once again, I greatly appreciate any help. I thank you in Advanced! -Leaum
