Text class

Textclass is created using a file name. If the name is not null it will store it dynamically in the memory and read it from the disk into a dynamically allocated memory (using the member functionread).

 class Text { char* m_filename; char* m_content; int getFileLength()const; // Code provided in Text.cpp protected: const char& operator[](int index)const; public: Text(const char* filename=nullptr); // implement rule of three here void read(); virtual void write(std::ostream& os)const; }; // prototype of insertion overload into ostream goes here 

Properties

m_filename (private)

Hold the name of the file dynamically

m_content (private)

Holds the content of the text file dynamically.

Mandatory functionalities

if anything goes wrong in setting up the class or reading a file, it will be set to an empty state.

const char& operator[](int index)const;

This index operator provides read-only access to the content of the text for the derived classes of Text.

The behaviour of the operator is not defined if the index goes out of bounds.

The rule of three

Implement the rule of three so memory is managed properly in case of copying and assignment.

int getFileLength()const

Code provided (int Text.cpp) ; it returns the length (size) of the text file on the disk. It returns zero if either the file does not exist or the content is empty.

void read()

First, read will the current content of the file and then allocates memory to thesize of the file on the disk+ 1 (for the null byte).

Then it will read the contents of the file character by character into the newly allocated memory and terminates it with a null byte at the end.

virtual void write(std::ostream& os)const;

This virtual function will insert the content of the Text class into the ostream if m_content is not null.

instertion overload into ostream

Overload the insertion operator for a Text object into ostream.

Usage Sample

If the file **test.txt" has the following content:

abc defg 

Having the following code snippet:

 Text T("test.txt"); Text Y("whatever.txt"); // whatever.txt can exist or not Text Z; Y = T; Z = Y; Text X = Z; cout << X << endl; 

The output will be:

abc defg 

HtmlText class

HtmlTextclass is inherited from theTextfor an HTML conversion. Make sure, like theTextclass,the rule of threeis implemented here.

#include "Text.h" namespace sdds { class HtmlText : public Text { char* m_title; public: HtmlText(const char* filename=nullptr, const char* title = nullptr); // rule of three goes here }; } 

HtmlTextclass is created using an additional argument for the title of the HTML conversion and overrides the virtual write function of the base class.

When createdHtmlTextwill pass the filename to its base class and if the title is not null, it will keep in dynamically as a property.

if anything goes wrong in setting up the class or reading a file, it will be set to an empty state.

char* m_title;

Holds the title of the HTML conversion dynamically.

Text::write override

This override will convert the text file to a simple HTML file as follows:

First the open tags for html page, header and title are inserted into ostream proceeding with the open body tag. Then for all the conent of the file:

• less than operator(<)is replaced by"<"characters
• greater than operator(>)is replaced by">"characters
• newline (' ')is replaced by"
  "characters
• space character(' ')if more than one, except from the first, the rest are replaced by" "

At the end, the close tags for body and html page are inserted.

You can use your own logic to implement the above, or use the following guidelines:

To accomplish the above do the insertion into ostream as follows:

• create a boolean variable and set it to false to keep track of the occurance of multiple spaces (let's call itMSfor Multiple Spaces)
• insert" "
• if " " is not null insert"

  " << m_title << "

  "
• loop through all the elements of the m_content (using the protected index operator) and convert the characters as follows:

 Based on the value of the current element in the loop In case the value is a space if MS is true insert " " otherwise set MS to true and then insert a space (' ') In case the value is '<' insert "<" and set the MS to false In case the value is '>' insert ">" and set the MS to false In case the value is newline ' ' insert "
 " and set the MS to false In all other cases set the MS to false and insert the current value, unchanged. 

• at the end insert" "to end the html page.

*abc defg* File: dcwrLittle.html ================================================== <html><head><title>Derived Classes and Resourcestitle>head> <body> <h1>Derived Classes and Resourcesh1> Design classes with dynamically allocated resources to model the components of a programming solution<br /> Define the copy constructor and assignment operator for a derived class with a resource<br /> Identify the copy constructor and copy assignment operator defaults for a derived class<br /> "If you use pointers, you have to think about resource management" (Stroustrup, 1997)<br /> <br /> Inheritance hierarchies that access resources at multiple levels require intervention. Managing relationships between the special member functions in a hierarchy with multiple resources involves ensuring that the appropriate calls between these functions are made. The definitions of some copy constructors and copy assignment operators in the hierarchy may require explicit coding of the connections to their base class counterparts. <br /> <br /> This chapter describes how to define the constructors and the copy assignment operators in a hierarchy that access multiple resources and how to call their base class counterparts. <br /> <br /> <br /> CONSTRUCTORS AND DESTRUCTOR<br /> <br /> Each constructor of a derived class calls a constructor of its base class. By default, that constructor is the no-argument constructor. To override this default, we insert an explicit call to the base class constructor. <br /> <br /> Destructors in an inheritance hierarchy do not require any intervention, since each class in the hierarchy has but one destructor and each destructor calls its sole base class counterpart automatically. <br /> <br /> Example<br /> <br /> Let us upgrade the definition of our Student class to accommodate a client-defined number of grades. We store the grades in dynamic memory and store the address of that memory in a resource instance pointer. <br /> <br /> The upgraded definition of our Student class contains a resource instance pointer:<br /> <br /> // Student.h<br /> <br /> #include <br /> const int NC = 30;<br /> <br /> class Person {<br /> char name[NC+1];<br /> public:<br /> Person();<br /> Person(const char*);<br /> void display(std::ostream&) const; <br /> };<br /> <br /> class Student : public Person {<br /> int no;<br /> float* grade;<br /> int ng;<br /> public:<br /> Student();<br /> Student(int);<br /> Student(const char*, int, const float*, int); <br /> ~Student();<br /> void display(std::ostream&) const;<br /> };body> html> ================================================== D:\Users\phard\Documents\Seneca\oop244\DEV\Workshops\WS10\lab\Debug\lab.exe (process 278736) exited with code 0.
