Question

Im trying to write a program that takes a txt file as input, and uses ques from the words in the text file to generate a .h file (and later hopefully) a .cpp file. This code compiles fine, its just that it segfault 11’s once it gets the input file. Can somebody help me out?

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include "12337756_Library.cpp"
#include <string>
#include <vector>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    bool a;
    string filename;
    string line;
    vector<string> Attr;

    cout << "Enter input file name:";
    getline(cin, filename);

    ifstream fin(filename.c_str());

    if (fin)
    {
        while(!fin.eof())
        {
            getline(fin, line);
            createNewFile(line);
            Attr.push_back(line); 
        }
        if(Attr[1]=="Movie.h")
        {
            bool x,y;
            //x=createNewFile(Attr[0]);
            y=createNewFile(Attr[1]);
            if(x)
            {
                ofstream fout(Attr[1].c_str());

Answer 1

You only pushed back one std::string so your vector only contains 1 element. To access that one element use Attr[0] not Attr[1] (there are several places you do that in the code). Remember in C++ indexes start at 0 and not 1.

Also, in the following code size() returns 1, so the while loop is never entered.

int size = Attr.size();

while(size!= 1)
{
    fout << Attr[size] << endl;
    size--;
}
