  1. Data Streams

  2. Extraction • Extraction Operator [ cin>> num1] • Extracts formatted data from an input stream • Data in the same format as the data type that it is being extracted to. • Ex. extracting to an integer will attempt to take whatever is in the stream and conform it to the integer data type. • Ignores whitespace

  3. Extraction • Questions

  4. Extraction • Questions • How do we extract whitespace? • What happens if the data in the stream doesn’t match the data type? • What if there is junk in the stream and we need to get rid of it?

  5. Extraction • How do we extract whitespace? • Unformatted Extraction • Character Extraction • The get function – extracts a single character from the stream. • String Extraction • The getlinefunction – extracts a string from the stream. • It needs a delimiter (or just use the default)

  6. Extraction • What happens if the data in the stream doesn’t match the data type? • Stream failure! • No additional information can be extracted from the stream • The status of a stream can be checked using two functions. • The good function • The fail function • The stream can be reset back to the good state by using the clear function.

  7. Extraction • What if there is junk in the stream and we need to get rid of it? • We can clear the stream of all the data in the stream (up to a certain number of characters or up to a delimiter) by using the ignore function.

  8. Insertion • Insertion Operator [ cout << num;] • Inserts data into an output stream • We can immediately send all the data in the stream to the output device using the flush function.

  10. Streams • Questions

  11. Streams • Questions • What other devices can we connect to a program using a stream? • How do we write to or read from a file?

  14. File Streams • Include the header file for file streams • #include <fstream> • Declaration of a input file stream • ifstream fin; // you can use any variable name • Declaration of a output file stream • ofstreamfout; // you can use any variable name • Is that it? Can we use these file streams now?

  15. File Streams • Is that it? Can we use these file streams now? • No! We need to establish a connection between the file and the program. • By using the open function we associate a file stream with a file. • fin.open ( “file.in” ); • Remember to disassociate a stream with a file after you are done with it. • fin.close ( );
