Write this same code with "string" instead of "char"

EDN Admin · Oct 16, 2011

Hi, 
 
I wrote this code to read in values from a text file. The text file is ~180 columns and 200K rows. Each column represents a variable. For example column 1 is the policy number. After the code reads the policy number x1, I set x1 = PolicyNumber;
Where policynumber is a vector.
The problem is that the code uses "char" and I am finding that if I try and code with "char" I have problems because they are c-style arrays. I want to use strings instead, but the code below uses char. Is there an easy way to switch from char
to string below?
When I read in the first line of the file, the first step is to check if there are ",," values and then translate all blanks to ",0,". Then I read the line and make all the assignments. The second function takes one of the char values and converts
it to a number. But I was thinking there might be a problem if the names change size and it seems like it would become a headache in the same way the c-style arrays with numerical values became headaches.
int Read_xInforce_pointer2(void) 
{ 
int ret=0; 
FILE * infile; 
char temp_name[1000]; 
strcpy(temp_name, cRunLocation); 
strcat(temp_name, "File.csv"); 
infile = fopen(temp_name, "r"); 
if(infile == NULL) 
{ LogFile<<"Error - unsuccessful open of file"<<endl; exit(0);} 
else 
LogFile<<"Successfully opened file"<<endl;
