FileEngine [opensource, easy, portable] load/save data!

[Systemerror]

Note pasted straight from my site:




FileEngine [C++, OpenSource]

Purpose:

This will provide developers with the functionality to easily create *.txt files, read them, load them
use quick and easy functions to save/load data within your application - this is fairly restricted at the
moment as you are only working with *.txt files and the main writer function is for strings, but it is
still very useful and portable. I find this particularaly useful for games to save/load certain settings
but is not restricted to games, it is useful for complex applications that use a lot of resources.

Note: it comes with the source, a demo (source and exe) and documentation.

System requirements: N/A

License: freeware/Open source (see license once downloaded) and please donate.

You do realise that the standard already has function to handle files, in both text and binary mode, that can work with strings?

Yes, it uses fstream, but I could not find functions to easily (meaning in a consise manner) to read, write, load etc files and this is just an easy example of implementing that functionality.


The good thing about it for instance it can:

Check a file exists
if so, read it
if not
write it

in this short code:

Code: Select all

/*
Purpose:

To demonstrate the basic functionality of creating on loading files

#include "FileEngine.h"

{
	 cout<<"[Example app to load and write data to a *.txt file]\n";


	 //Attempt to read data file
	 FileEngine.readFile();

	 //check if file was found
	 if(FileEngine.getWasFileFound() == false)
		 FileEngine.writeFile("This is a test string for SaveData file!");
	
     

cout<<"Finished please close me\n";
cin.get();
return 0;
