I love this video so much, it helps me a lots. Thank you😍

could you do a tutorial on how to delete a row / entry from a file please 🙏☺

[@cipherion]

Code change: void readFileText(std::string myFileChoice) should have been coded as : void readFileText(const std::string& myFileChoice) so it isn't a copied string causing a heap allocation and therefore running much slower and taking up more memory.

[@appiahgideon213]

thanks for this video, I've learned a lot from it

[@luxis_2295]

I’ve been having the doubt of how read and write from a file for weeks because my programming professor did not explained as good as you. You were the light that lit the way for me because I needed it for a project. Thank you Saldina!!

[@CodeBeauty]

You're very welcome! Glad I could help! 🥰🥰

[@edinfific2576]

In order to explain something, a person needs to have both a good knowledge and understanding of what they're explaining AND an ability to bring that understanding down to a comprehensible level or, in other words, to bridge that gap between deep understanding and no idea about how something works. Many teachers and professors seem to lack either one, two or all of the three qualities above.

[@meekosalas1153]

[@priyanshusaxena7157]

My solution for the 1st challenge, converting a story to cipher and deciphering back the code in the console: #include #include #include using namespace std; int main() { fstream Myfile; // Taking the input string from the user string story; cout

[@hbm293]

I think you can skip the "Converting the string to character array" part, as a string is basically already a character array (and there are ways to iterate over each character contained in the "string" object, as you also have used, so you could use directly that when you do the "int(...)" cast when writing into your file ). Also it's funny that since you concatenate the numbers in the file without any (non-number) separators between each of them, then when you read back your file you need to do the funny calculation.

[@Ozonised]

Hey just wanted to say thank you :) Your formula for deciphering the text helped me a ton. I was stuck getting my program to decipher the text but thankfully I discovered your comment and so the formula which provided a ton of help :)

[@tapansonak1431]

Hi can anyone explain me the working of the decypher loop. I am not quite getting it. I didn't get the formula num = num * 10 + (line [i]- '0');

[@ahmedassal8710]

could you explain the formula num = num * 10 + (line[i] - '0' );

Big Bro 3 minutes ago I just love how you make coding so simple, Saldina. You have a great gift. Keep up the good work👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@hbm293]

3:20​ @CodeBeauty Yes the ".txt" extension is just to make Windows' shell use whatever default program to open these text files. But otherwise, any extension is good as well. The important point however is that, used as such, the fstream::open() function opens files in **text mode** by default, unless one ORs the second parameter (the mode) with ios::binary. This is important, because the default text mode is "translated" in the sense that depending on the platform you run the code, the end-of-line character being issued in the file will be different ( on *nix, on mac, on Windows), even if you just use " " (without " ") in the code.

[@CodeBeauty]

Thanks for taking the time and contributing with your knowledge. ☺️ I appreciate it and I'm sure that it will be helpful for anyone who is looking for tips and additional info in the comments! ☺️☺️

normally these videos stress me out but your tone is so calming

[@glitch3417]

Thanks Saldina, I was waiting for ages for this video. Actually I have a request to make, that if you find the time to do so, make an advance level video about file handling like about reading mixed data (numbers, alphabets, symbols, spaces, without new line) and taking out the specific type of data according to our desire and storing it in arrays, and also more info about functions like getline and putting some conditions in their parameters to ignore specific characters. Me and my friends will be waiting desperately. 🤞🏻🤞🏻

[@__hannibaal__]

Hi Saldana We can use some thing from number theory so as periodic function or bijective function (one to one )function If unsigned char c = 0 to 255; int crypto = 5 just add to c+crypto =c, some one didn’t now the code he can’t read it By reversing c=c-crypto for every char in file you can read it; This very simple way; we can construct very complex file crypting by use word as whole number like abc=505153; than use some Number theory of division and prime number… We can use congruence c=b[a] ; a

I have thoroughly enjoyed many of your videos on C++ and I am continuing with your 10 hr full course. Recently, I went through your video of file operations. I found it to be quite simplistic. I would like to design Harry Markovitz's mean-variance analysis of stocks to determine the best weighting of DJIA stocks. To do that, I have a file with 31 records, with each record taking up one line. First data is the ticker symbol, and the next 260 pieces of data are the weekly closing prices of that stock (or index), and then I would like to save the next 5 slots for calculated data. If I have these in one text file. What would be the data structure like for each record? How can I read it into my variable in my program? How can I linefeed after reading one line? After reading the data into the program, comes CPU and memory intensive work of manipulating the data, sorting the result, and then writing it into a new text file.
