I’m attempting to get a commercial adaptation of a rail traffic-control simulation model to interact with a home-brewed program duplicating the dispatcher’s thinking, previously written (without any I/O interface) in BASIC a few years ago, now being redeveloped in C++.
I’ve been learning C++ for a couple of months; have no problem with commonly-used programming functions, what little I’ve scraped off the ‘Net makes a reference to “high-level file access”; we could use a reference more attuned to general orientation if anyone can suggest one.
The commercial program has a fully-developed external I/O interface using a set of text files which reside in the same folder as the application (O/S is Windows XP Pro).
I can generate commands, which should cause changes in settings on the commercial application when recognized, but am not familiar with the technique to enter them on the input file, which apparently can’t be relocated to my program. Any help would be appreciated. – Thanks!
