Hi!

I need some advices.
Please, show me, how I can read text file and substitute one string to
another (e.g. 'christmas card' -> 'money') and save file again to same
name.

Here is an example C program to read text file lines, but what
substitute commands should I add to it? Or are there ready functions in
C++, too?


---
/* Program read lines from file */

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <process.h>

#define MAXLINELEN 110

int main( int argc, char *argv[] )
{
   char filename[85], strline[MAXLINELEN];
   int line = 0;
   FILE *fileptr;

   /* Test if given parameter */
   if ( argc != 2 )
   {
      printf( "\nGive data file name : " );
      gets( filename );
   }
   else
   {
      /* Copy parameter to filename */
      strcpy( filename, argv[1] );
   }

   /* Test if can read file */
   if ( ( fileptr = fopen( filename, "r" ) ) == NULL )
   {
      printf( "\nError: File: %s can't read.\n", filename );
      exit(0);
   }

   /* List file */
   printf( "\nFile: %s list :\n", filename );

   /* Read and list, while not end of file */
   while ( !feof( fileptr ) )
   {
      fgets( strline, MAXLINELEN, fileptr );
      printf( "%s", strline );

      /* Line counter */
      line++;
   }

   /* Close file */
   fclose( fileptr );

   printf( "\n***  Read: %d rows from file: %s.\n", line, filename );

   return 0;
}

Thanks in advance!
