I have a function which reads each line in a file (using ifstream), modifies that line and then writes to a file with many "{key,value}," (by using fstream), I need to remove the last comma in that file, but after searching, I still have no idea to do this.
current output file:
//bein file
std::map <std::string, std::string> my_map =
...
{key,value},
{key,value},
{last_key,last_value},
};
//some comment
expected output(remove the last comma):
//bein file
std::map <std::string, std::string> my_map =
...
{key,value},
{key,value},
{last_key,last_value}
};
//some comment
my code is here:
#include <windows.h>
#include <queue>
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <regex>
#include <fstream>
#include <iterator>
#include <stdio.h>
// I think MS's names for some things are obnoxious.

You can do the following do a first write to file without any , outside the loop. Then for the others write inside the loop you print the , at the beginning of the line:
if (getline(empSalariesOld, line))
{
if (!std::regex_match(line, open_comment) &&
!std::regex_match(line, close_comment) &&
std::regex_match(line, string_tag) )
{
result = std::regex_replace(line, find1, replace1);
result = std::regex_replace(result, find2, replace2);
result = std::regex_replace(result, find3, replace3);
//remove the first char which is the comma
result = result.substr(1, result.size()-1)
std::string cpp_file = write_cpp_file(path, result, file_name);
}
}
while (getline(empSalariesOld, line))
{
if (!std::regex_match(line, open_comment) &&
!std::regex_match(line, close_comment) &&
std::regex_match(line, string_tag) )
{
result = std::regex_replace(line, find1, replace1);
result = std::regex_replace(result, find2, replace2);
result = std::regex_replace(result, find3, replace3);
std::string cpp_file = write_cpp_file(path, result, file_name);
}
}
I am guessing you are putting the comma in replace3. You can:
std::string replace1 = ",\n{"; \\put the comma at beginning of line then got to the next line
...
std::string replace3 = "\"}"
And since you are putting the new line in replace1 you should remove it from new file:
file << line;
