    This document describes file handling in C++ programs. It discusses writing strings with embedded blanks to files, using delimiters other than spaces, and reading such strings from files using getline(). It then provides two lab tasks: [1] Creating a program to initialize and update an inventory file for a hardware store, storing tool details in records. [2] Prompting a user for name, last name, and employee ID, writing it to a file, then reading and displaying all data from the file.

    LAB# 13: File handling

    Description

    Our program can interact to the outer world by taking input and displaying output. In/out of programs can
    be taken from console or files. Console helps to interact with user in run time environment whereas
    reading input from file and writing output to file helps in permanent storage of interaction history and
    helps in simulation building.

    1. Strings with Embedded Blanks

     Writing to File: Cannot use space as delimiter for separating multiple string in this case Use
    some other delimiter instead of space

    Example
    void main()
    {
    ofstreamoutfile(“test.txt”);
    outfile<<”I fear thee, ancient mariner!\n”; //here we use newline as delimiter
    outfile<<”I fear thy skinny hand\n”;
    outfile<<”And thou art long, and lank, and brown, \n”;
    outfile<<”As is the ribbed sea sand, \n”;
    }

     Reading from File: Cannot use extraction operator for reading Use getline() member function of
    istream class to read string from file (remember, ifstream is derived from istream).

    Example
    void main()
    {
    char buffer[MAX]; //create a buffer to hold individual strings max size is
    100
    ifstreaminfile(“test.txt”); //open file
    while (infile.eof() != true) //check for end of file
    {
    infile.getline(buffer,MAX); //getline reads chars into buffer till end of line
    cout<<buffer<<endl; //display the string
    }
    }

    Lab Tasks:

    I. You are the owner of a hardware store and need to keep an inventory that can tell you what
    different tools you have, how many of each you have on hand and the cost of each one. Write a
    program that initializes the random-access file "hardware .txt " to one hundred empty records, lets
    you input the data concerning each tool, enables you to list all your tools, lets you delete a record
    for a tool that you no longer have and lets you update any information in the file. Thetool
    identification number should be the record number. Use the following information to start your
    file:

    Record # Tool Name Quantity Cost

    3 Electric sandel 7 456

    17 Hammer 76 321

    24 Jigsaw 21 897

    39 Lawn mover 56 3333

    56 Power saw 3 121

    68 Screw driver 17 653

    77 Wrench 54 12

    [HINT: You can create a class to initialize Tools and object of that class to be written in file]

    II. In a loop, prompt the user to enter its data consisting of a first name, last name and employee
    number. Then using, ofstream object write these three data items in a file. Don’t forget that
    strings must be terminated with a white space. When all the data is written, close the ofstream
    object, open an ifstream object, read and display all data in the file and terminate the program.

    Write the following line of code in a file as follows

    My name is Ali.

    I live in Rawalpindi.

    I study at Air.
