Detailed Description

Caches a text file into memory and can be used to retrieve lines from it.

This class contains methods for read-only manipulation of a text file in memory. Either use the constructor type with one parameter to load a file into memory at construction, or use the LoadFile method to load a file.

Definition at line 473 of file modules.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

FileReader::FileReader (    ) 
 

Default constructor.

This method does not load any file into memory, you must use the LoadFile method after constructing the class this way.

Definition at line 334 of file modules.cpp. 

00335 {
00336 }

FileReader::FileReader (  std::string    filename ) 
 

Secondary constructor.

This method initialises the class with a file loaded into it ready for GetLine and and other methods to be called. If the file could not be loaded, FileReader::FileSize returns 0.

Definition at line 327 of file modules.cpp.

00328 {
00329         file_cache c;
00330         readfile(c,filename.c_str());
00331         this->fc = c;
00332 }

FileReader::~FileReader (    ) 
 

Default destructor.

This deletes the memory allocated to the file.

Member Function Documentation

bool FileReader::Exists (    ) 
 

Retrieve one line from the file.

This method retrieves one line from the text file. If an empty non-NULL string is returned, the index was out of bounds, or the line had no data on it.

Definition at line 350 of file modules.cpp.

References fc. 

00351 {
00352         if (fc.size() == 0)
00353         {
00354                 return(false);
00355         }
00356         else
00357         {
00358                 return(true);
00359         }
00360 }

int FileReader::FileSize (    ) 
 

Returns the size of the file in lines.

This method returns the number of lines in the read file. If it is 0, no lines have been read into memory, either because the file is empty or it does not exist, or cannot be opened due to permission problems.

std::string FileReader::GetLine (  int    x )

00363 {
00364         if ((x<0) || (x>fc.size()))
00365                 return "";
00366         return fc[x];
00367 }

void FileReader::LoadFile (  std::string    filename ) 
 

Used to load a file.

This method loads a file into the class ready for GetLine and and other methods to be called. If the file could not be loaded, FileReader::FileSize returns 0.

Definition at line 338 of file modules.cpp.
