Problem was not that I _have_ to read a file somehow. Problem was.. How do read using fgets. & why it bbehaves differently on Solaris/Linux with same compiler. If I open the file with "a+", the on Solaris file pointer is at the beginning of the file whereas on Linux it is at the end of the file. Why is this difference??? And if some code is already written using fgets on solaris, this difference makes it non-portable!!!!! -----Original Message----- From: John Love-Jensen [mailto:eljay@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, April 10, 2003 5:56 PM To: Ajay Bansal; redhat-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx; gcc-help@xxxxxxxxxxx Hi Ajay, Why not do it C++ style, instead of co-mingling C and C++ styles? Sincerely, --Eljay PS: your data-type Hungarian notation is incorrect. I strongly suggest that you avoid date-type Hungarian notation, unless you are going to be meticulously accurate. (Otherwise it contributes to code obfuscation.) PPS: I also recommend on "using" the particular item in the other namespace, instead of pulling in the whole namespace. PPPS: I also recommend using C++ headers, instead of pulling in C headers into your C++ code. (i.e., <cerrno> and <cstdlib>.) --------------------- #include <iostream> using std::cout; using std::endl; #include <fstream> using std:: #include <string> using std::string; // #include <cerrno> -- not needed. // #include <cstdlib> -- not needed. int main() { string fileName("/tmp/log.txt"); string line; ifstream file(fileName.c_str()); int lineNumber = 0; while (getline(file, line)) { ++lineNumber; cout << "Line " << lineNumber << " read is : " << line << endl; } return 0; } _______________________________________________ Redhat-devel-list mailing list Redhat-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-devel-list
