Save and load data in txt file

[mxoliveira73]

I'm need write/save and after load data in a txt file.
For example, I have 3 variables: int a = 3 - int b = 32 - int c = 25;
First I write/save in a txt file; after, in other moment, I open, read and load this variables to my application.

I'm looking for a simple example, tips or where can I search this topic, please....


I'm using this codes to save and open.


OPEN:

Code: Select all

 wxFileDialog
        openFileDialog(this, _("Open TXT file"), "", "",
                       "TXT files (*.txt)|*.txt", wxFD_OPEN|wxFD_FILE_MUST_EXIST);
    if (openFileDialog.ShowModal() == wxID_CANCEL)
        return;     // the user changed idea...

    wxFileInputStream input_stream(openFileDialog.GetPath());

Save:

Code: Select all

 wxFileDialog
        saveFileDialog(this, _("Salvar TXT file"), "", "",
                       "TXT files (*.txt)|*.txt", wxFD_SAVE|wxFD_OVERWRITE_PROMPT);
    if (saveFileDialog.ShowModal() == wxID_CANCEL)
        return;     // the user changed idea...
    wxFileOutputStream output_stream(saveFileDialog.GetPath());

If you need to save simple variables in a text file, I would recommend looking into wxFileConfig, see wxConfigBase for description.

My second choice would be wxTextFile, but you will need to do all the parsing by yourself, not that hard actually, particularly if you do not need sections.

To save and load user settings, what do you recomend? I thought in save variables in a txt file and after load it. Is there a good idea? Or is there other way better? Directly: How is the better way to save and load user settings?

For storing application settings, IMO using wxConfigBase would be the best.

It uses the platform-preferred way to store the structured and typed settings (e.g., Registry on MSW), taking care of platform-specific details (such as where to store the settings in the Registry) as well.
