I'm trying to adapt an "ASCII to a binary" solution found here, to my task.
This solution read the line, which the user enters. For me, I'm looking to read a file line by line and assign every line to this solution, in order to convert it, then write to the binary output file.
The code works fine, but when I open the binary file, I find only the first line converted. any idea?
Thank you for your time.
#include <iostream>

int main(int argc, char const *argv[])
{
int digit[1000], len, base(2), rem[8], j(0), k(8);
std::string ch;
std::ofstream writeFile;

{
std::ifstream infile(argv[1]);
std::cout << "good
";
std::cout<<"
ASCII(STRING): ";
while (!infile.eof())
{
std::getline(infile, ch);
//calc the length of ch
len = ch.length();
std::cout << len <<"
";
for(int i=0; i<len; i++){
digit[i] = static_cast<int>(ch[i]);
}
//file stream section begins here
// std::ofstream writeFile;
writeFile.open("ASCII-BINARY.bin");
// std::cout<<"BINARY: ";
for(int m=0; m<len; m++){
while(digit[m]>0||j<8){
//finds the remainder of the number
rem[j] = digit[m]%base;
//divides the number by the base value choosed
digit[m] = digit[m]/base;
//increments the array value
j++;
}
while(k>0){
//outputs the binaries
std::cout<<rem[k-1];
writeFile<<rem[k-1];
//decrements the array value
k--;
}
std::cout<<" "; //output the space after binary value here
writeFile<<" ";
//std::cout<<"

//resets the iterators
j = 0;
k = 8;
}
}
writeFile.close();
//file stream section ends here
std::cout << "good close

else std::cerr << "can't open file !
