The sanity checking was mainly for the data files when some other user may use at a later date. > 4. Find a good C++ reference, and use it. There are several. > > Slightly more helpful: > > 1.

Yup, that fscanf method looks interesting. I used that only when I program in C, but it might be judicious to use it in C++ in this situation. Never mind the syntax accuracy, I can fix that if need be. Looks like I may need to give this approach shot.

(Or Linux guru, or puritan Linux guru -- I'm not sure which word should modify which here!) Hal -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

hi, Try something like this, just add some pointers; scan is just a simple object and l is a class vector. HTH jim int nearest::readdata(std::string s, std::vector<scan> & l) { //read in scuba core list std::ifstream input(s.c_str()); std::string temp, pos, x ,y; char * t; std::cout <<"Reading " << s <<std::endl; while(!getline(input,temp).eof()) { scan n; std::stringstream s(temp); s >> n.name; s >> x; s >> y; n.glon=strtod(x.c_str(),&t); n.glat=strtod(y.c_str(),&t); l.push_back(n); } input.close(); return 0; } Hal Vaughan wrote: > On Tuesday 06 May 2008, H.S. wrote: > >> Hal Vaughan wrote: >> >>> On Tuesday 06 May 2008, H.S. wrote: >>> >>>> Ron Johnson wrote: >>>> >>>>> Is this a binary file or a text file? >>>>> >>>> hmm.
