[QUOTE="electrixnow, post: 2543355"]
I am reading in a comma delimited text file, with a document #,revision
letter on each line.
example:

123,A
456,B

There are 19000 lines to this master document file. I will also be
reading in a file that has about 200 lines that has the same structure
as the first file. I need to compare File A and B and produce File C.
The 123 document data is the same in A and B file, I am looking if the
REVISION has been updated in the master document file A. If there is an
update of the REVISION then I want to copy that line of File A,
overwrite it in File B, and create file C with these lines that have
been found as updates.

The final program needs to take the data in file C and create a MS Word
Document, email it, and print it. This program will run once a day
after file A gets updated from a database query  and act as an
automated document ordering system.

I am not the master of C by any means but I am trying my best to learn
more. I am more use to  scripting from the 80's.

I am trying to use Visual C++ 2005 express

I am getting stuck with the following code because I get the an error
during compile when I try putting pointers into a new array that I have
commented out.

Here is the code that I am having problems with. Maybe I am going about
it the wrong way.

#include <fstream>
 #include <iostream>
 #include <string>
 #include <stdio.h>
 #include <stdlib.h>
 using namespace std;

#define MOVEX_QUERY "C:\\DWG_DATA\\DOCUMENTS_movex.dat"

int main(){
      char * document;
      char * edition;
      char * str1;
      char * next_token1;
      int i=0;
      string tmp;

using std::ifstream;
      using std::cout;

ifstream inf(MOVEX_QUERY);

if (inf)
          {
          char namn[20000][30];
          char doc[20000][30];
          char edi[20000][30];
	  while ((inf.getline(namn[i], 30)) != NULL)++i;
          for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i){
			str1 = namn[i];
    			document = strtok_s( str1, " ,\t\n", &next_token1);
			edition = strtok_s( NULL, " ,\t\n", &next_token1);
                //        doc[i] = document;  // does'nt work
                //        edi[i] = edition;       // does'nt work

if(document == edition) printf( "%s\n", document );  // does'nt work

//	printf( "%s\n", document );
		//	printf( "%s\n", edition );
		//	cout << i <<'\n';
			}

}
      else
          {
          cout << "Could not open file\n";
          return 1;
          }
      cout << "PROCESSING COMPLETE\n";
      return 0;
      }

This is only some test code trying to read in and do comparisons on
variables. I was thinking that I could read in all of file A and B,
then loop thru A for each record of B while building C.

Any help Please![/i][/i][/i][/i]
