c++ extract string

i have 26/01/10 09:20:20 MAL BIN BIN275 TSTCB U8L5 O/CR ..N UCOS Operated in开发者_JS百科 string

i want to extract column 36 into 60 that is

BIN275 TSTCB U8L5 O/CR

the last output i want to include

O/CR

is there any simple solution to settle this? already make this but not work.

#include <iostream>
#include <string.h>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
FILE * pFile;
char mystring [100];
int string_length;

ofstream output;

pFile = fopen ("input.txt" , "r");
output.open("output.txt", ios:: out);


fgets (mystring , 100 , pFile);
puts (mystring);

string_length = strlen(mystring);

int i=36;

while (i < 60) 
{
output<<mystring[i];
++i;
}


fclose (pFile);
output.close();
return 0;

}

thank you

Your program basically works but your column numbers are not correct. Try:

int i=26;

while (i < 48)

It gives me the result you are specifying.

Since you seem to want to use C++, we could write it slightly more elegantly as:

#include <fstream>
#include <string>

int main()
{
    int const colLeft  = 36; // or 26
    int const colRight = 60; // or 48

    std::ifstream input("input.txt");
    std::ofstream output("output.txt");

    std::string  line;
    std::getline(input,line);

    output << line.substr(colLeft,(colRight-colLeft)+1);
}
