Hey,
I used getline to read from file.
When i have the char '#' I should ignore that line.. I want to put in the privat values of the class what I got from the file..
Here is what I did.. it works only for one line and then when there is another line it writes the values on top of the first line.

cpp of class Simulation- the function I have problem with

Simulation::Simulation(char *file)
{
    ifstream command(file);
    char str[250];
    char* pch;
    string tempfrom;
    string tempto;
    int i = 0;


    if (command.is_open())
    {

        while (command.getline(str, 250)&& *str!=EOF)
        {
            if (str[0] == '#')
                continue;
            pch = strdup(strtok(str, ","));
            opp= *pch - '0';
            for (i = 0; pch != NULL && i < 3; i++)
            {
                pch = strdup (strtok(NULL, ","));
                if (i == 0)
                {
                    numtaxi = *pch - '0';
                    if (numtaxi != 1 && numtaxi != 2){
                        printToFile("Error - num taxi is not legal");
                        continue;

                    }
                }
                if (i == 1)
                {
                    tempfrom = pch;


                }
                if (i == 2)
                {
                    tempto = pch;
                }
            }

            fromcol = tempfrom[0] - 'a';
            if (!(fromcol < 10 && fromcol>=0)){
                printToFile("Error - from col is not in the range");
                continue;
            }

            fromrow = tempfrom[1] - '0';
            if (!(fromrow < 10 && fromrow>=0)){
                printToFile("Error - from row is not in the range");
                continue;
            }

            tocol = tempto[0] - 'a';
            if (!(tocol < 10 && tocol>=0)){
                printToFile("Error - to col is not in the range");
                continue;
            }

            torow = tempto[1] - '0';
            if (!(torow < 10 && torow>=0)){
                printToFile("Error - to row in not in the range");
                continue;
            }

            setSimulation(getOpp(), getNumtaxi(), getFromcol(), getTocol(), getTocol(), getTorow());

        }

    }
    else
    {
        cout << "unable to open the file";
        exit(1);
    }
    command.close();

}

Since nothing in this code actually writes anything to a file, you should show the code that does.

True.
Wherever you are opening this file, make sure it is opened with the correct append attributes.
