Hi all,

I open a file to get the lines. After a first check I am going to the second function to store the data but the file can not be re-read due to the fact that I am already at the end of the file (checked with is.eof()).

Therefore I checked the Doxygen and get the function "rewind()" which should be used for re-reading the file.

This is working:

::read(IFstream& is)
{
    string line;

    while (is.good())
    {
         is.getLine(line);

         Info<< "Line: " << is.lineNumber() << " - " << line << endl;
         is.rewind();
     }
}

The code is going back to the first line again and again (will never stop).
Output:

Line: 2 - "EnthalpyDefects"
Line: 3 - "EnthalpyDefects"
Line: 4 - "EnthalpyDefects"
Line: 5 - "EnthalpyDefects"
Line: 6 - "EnthalpyDefects"
Line: 7 - "EnthalpyDefects"
Line: 8 - "EnthalpyDefects"
Line: 9 - "EnthalpyDefects"
Line: 10 - "EnthalpyDefects"
Line: 11 - "EnthalpyDefects"
Line: 12 - "EnthalpyDefects"
Line: 13 - "EnthalpyDefects"
Line: 14 - "EnthalpyDefects"
Line: 15 - "EnthalpyDefects"
Line: 16 - "EnthalpyDefects"
Line: 17 - "EnthalpyDefects"
Line: 18 - "EnthalpyDefects"
Line: 19 - "EnthalpyDefects"
Line: 20 - "EnthalpyDefects"
Line: 21 - "EnthalpyDefects"
Line: 22 - "EnthalpyDefects"
Line: 23 - "EnthalpyDefects"
Line: 24 - "EnthalpyDefects"
Line: 25 - "EnthalpyDefects"
Line: 26 - "EnthalpyDefects"
Line: 27 - "EnthalpyDefects"
Line: 28 - "EnthalpyDefects"
Line: 29 - "EnthalpyDefects"
Line: 30 - "EnthalpyDefects"
Line: 31 - "EnthalpyDefects"
Line: 32 - "EnthalpyDefects"
Line: 33 - "EnthalpyDefects"
Line: 34 - "EnthalpyDefects"
.
.
.

So if I will re-read the file after the first read action like:

::read(IFstream& is)
{
    string line;

    while (is.good())
   {
        is.getLine(line);

        Info<< "Line1: " << is.lineNumber() << " - " << line << endl;
    }

    //- rewind file for re-read
    is.rewind();

    while (is.good())
    {
         is.getLine(line);

         Info<< "Line2: " << is.lineNumber() << " - " << line << endl;
     }
}

Now the file is only read once but not twice.
What is my mistake?
Thanks in advance, ...

Hi,

rewind is just rdbuf()->pubseekpos(0) and this operation does not modify good/bad state of the stream. So first you read stream until it becomes bad, then you set position but the stream stays bad, so second cycle is just skipped.

Hi,

thanks for your replay. Sorry for that non quality question. If you go down the doxygen you will find the functions for setting the state of the stream. I did not see them yesterday:

 Protected Member Functions inherited from IOstream void setOpened ()  Set stream opened.  More...
 void setClosed ()  Set stream closed.  More...
 void setState (ios::iostate state)  Set stream state.  More...
 void setGood ()  Set stream to be good.  More...

I think the problem is solved now. I wlil try it today in the evening.
Thank you.

Hi Alex,

just one question. The setGood() function is protected and I have no access to it using:

is.setGood();

Can I get access to that function or not?

[alexeym]

Hi,

No, you can not, at least not directly as

is.setGood()

You can try to use clear method of std::istream. I.e. use something like

is.stdStream().clear()

See

1. http://foam.sourceforge.net/docs/cpp...40afb96a1d9664

2. http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/istream/istream/

for more information.

Hi alex,

you are right with that I can work but then I can not access the "good() etc" functions because if you set the goodbit with stdStream.clear() you are not modifying the FOAM variables:

    if(!is.good())                                                                                      
    { 
        Info<< "goodbit: " << is.stdStream().good() << "\n";
        Info<< "badbit: " << is.stdStream().bad() << "\n"; 
        Info<< "eofbit: " << is.stdStream().eof() << "\n"; 
        Info<< "failbit: " << is.stdStream().fail() << "\n";
        Info<< endl;    
    }         
    if(!is.good())                                   
    {                                                          
        Info<< "goodbit: " << is.good() << "\n";               
        Info<< "badbit: " << is.bad() << "\n";                 
        Info<< "eofbit: " << is.eof() << "\n";                      
        Info<< "failbit: " << is.fail() << "\n";      
        Info<< endl;                                     
    }

Output is:

goodbit: 1
badbit: 0
eofbit: 0
failbit: 0

goodbit: 0
badbit: 0
eofbit: 1
failbit: 1

Well, state of FOAM variables will be updated after the next call to getLine. Here's the example:

#include "IFstream.H"

using namespace Foam;

void dump_stream_state(const IFstream& is)
{
    Info<< "---" << endl;
    Info<< "opened: " << is.opened() << endl;
    Info<< "closed: " << is.closed() << endl;
    Info<< "good: " << is.good() << endl;
    Info<< "eof: " << is.eof() << endl;
    Info<< "bad: " << is.bad() << endl;
    Info<< "---" << endl;
}

int main(int argc, const char **argv)
{
    IFstream is(argv[1]);

    dump_stream_state(is);

    string l;
    do
    {
        is.getLine(l);
        Info<< l << endl;
    }
    while(! is.eof());

    is.stdStream().clear();

    is.rewind();

    dump_stream_state(is);
    is.getLine(l);
    dump_stream_state(is);

    is.rewind();

    do
    {
        is.getLine(l);
        Info<< l << endl;
    }
    while(! is.eof());

    return 0;
}

and result:
