so im making a script that converts srl 3 scripts to srl 4 scripts

i want to know how i can use new and delete to get the exact amout of lines needed in the scar script

some help with windows.h include would be appreciated as well

I also get an error when i use the builded version on the script

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <new>
using namespace std;

int main () 
{
	char File[150], re[4]; 
	string line[5000];

	string response;
	int x;
	int counter=0;
	size_t found;
	string strtofind[]={"oolean1", "oolean2", "oolean3", "nteger1", "nteger2", "nteger3",
		"tring1", "tring2", "tring3"};
	string changestr[]={"ooleans[0]", "ooleans[1]", "ooleans[2]", "ntegers[0]", "ntegers[1]", 
		"ntegers[2]", "trings[0]", "trings[1]", "trings[2]"};
	int index;


	cout<<"         Script Converter\n";
    cout<<"           By Macrosoft\n\n";
    cout<<"Would you like to convert a SRL 3.81 script to SRL 4? (yes or no) \n";
	cin>>re;
	_strupr_s(re);
	response=re;
	if(response== "YES") {
		cout<<"Please enter the name of the file (C:/Program Files/example.scar)"<<endl;
		cout<<"the location is not needed if this program and the script are in the same folder\n";
	    cin.ignore ( 150, '\n' ); //flush the input stream
		cin.getline(File, 150);
	    cout<<"Now Converting "<< File<< " to SRL 4 ..."<<endl;
		ifstream fin;
		ofstream fout;
		fin.open(File);
		if(fin){
			while (getline(fin, line[counter])){
				counter++;
			}
			x=counter;
			for(counter=0; counter<x+1; counter++){		
				for(index=0; index<9; index++){
					found=line[counter].find(strtofind[index]);
					if (found!=string::npos){
						line[counter].replace(int(found), strtofind[index].length(), changestr[index]);
					}
				}
			}
			fout.open(File);
			fout<<"{Script Converted to SRL 4 by Macrosoft's Script Converter}\n";
			for(counter=0; counter<5000; counter++){
				fout<<line[counter]<<"\n";
			}
			cout<<"Finished converting script\n";
		}
		else {
			cout<<"Failed to open file\n";
		}
		fin.close();
		fout.close();
	}
	else if(response == "NO"){
		cout<<"Closing Program...\n";
	  }
	else{
		cout<<"Response not understood. Closing Program...\n";
	}
	system("PAUSE");
    return 0;
}

I believe that there is documentation at MSDN about text file manipulation :p.

msdn????

i knwo file streams already, just need help with new and delete and my runtime error

Are you talking about this(?):

SomeClass MyClass = new SomeClass(Params); //Do you mean that "new"?

delete MyClass;

If thats it, you can't use them for files - they are for creating and destroying objects.

yeah, the one you need pinters for. basicly i have a 2d array of chars that has some amount of chars for the line, and then the amount of lines. I am not sure about what these values will be so i want to use new so i dont need an array with 1 million parts

ohh?

char MyFileArr[Linesinfile][Lengthofline];

Would that work? How big is the file?

thats the point, i need to use new and delete to add new parts of the array based on how big the file is. I dont know how big the file is

Well, Ok.

CHAR *MyFileArr = new CHAR[LinesOfFile][CharsInLine];

delete[][] MyFileArr; //You need one more '[]' for every array of array

CHAR MyFileArr = new CHAR[NewLength][NewLength];

Thats if you want to change its length… But you could do this also.

INT Lines = GetFileLines; //Thats not a build in procedure, just example
INT Chars = GetLineChars; //Again, not a real procedure.

CHAR *MyFileArr = new CHAR[Lines][Chars];

[..]

delete[][] MyFileArr;

Or you could make one with an undefined lines length, but you would need to know the amount of characters in a line.

CHAR *MyFileArr = new CHAR[][CharsInLine];

[..]

delete[][] MyFileArr;

Buy you would need to use pointers for these arrays, as you can only delete pointer objects.

error C2541: 'delete' : cannot delete objects that are not pointers

so i would add to an array of strings called la by doing:

string la[2];
*la= new string[1];

is that correct?

string* la = new string[1];

But that creates a string array with two (2) indexes.

Accesses like:

&la[I] = "String here FTW!/n";

But to add to it you would most likely have to delete it. But you can create one with unlimeted values:

string* UnlimArr = new string[];

You simply place your values in UnlimArr[NumberHere]. You might get errors with this though… Try it :)

Sorry, I forgot that using brackets is like dereferencing it.


Remove the &:

la[I] = 'LOLOLOLOLO';

i dont have a & in my code, read it and tell me why i get the error
