Want to ask how to detect new line
For example, I need to read in a text file in this format
John 123 Y 1
abc
def
ghi
Jane 456 N 1
xyz
Jack 789 N 1
xxx
xxx
how do i detect the empty line and read in the next line?
i need to get the info for line 1, 6 and 9 only
When you call getline() it will return an empty string when there is an empty line.
Example:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
string line;
ifstream in("stdafx.h");
if( in.is_open() )
{
while( getline(in,line) )
{
if( line == "")
cout << "Empty line\n";
}
}
}great, will try it out
