ABOUT
This is my first c++ program I have write in Linux
which I have finish. Normally I begin on a other program
before I have finish the first program.
cow compare strings, as I call it, compare to lines from to
difference files, but it compares not the hole line.
ccostring start from the begin of the line ( line(1) ) and read to the first '-' in
the line. Then it do the same with the other line ( line(2) ). After that it compare
the to strings, if the are equal it print the line, else it read to the next '-' in
the line(2) and compare them. If it finders nothing, it read to the next '-' in line(1)
and start over with line(2). If nothings was found it print nothing.
A example
line(1) = "Karl Martin - Sitting here.mp3" from Input file
line(2) = "Lene Martin - Sitting down here.mp3" from Datebase file
ccostring read to the first '-' in line(1) and put into (char) line1[20]
but it doesn't put ' ' into line1[20] so line1[20] will look like this
line1[20] = "KarlMartin"
Then it read to first '-' in line(2) and put into (char) line1[20]
but it doesn't put ' ' into line2[20] so line2[20] will look like this
line2[20] = "LeneMartin"
Then we compare the two arrays, but the are not equal, so we read to the next '-' in line(2)
It stops when it meat a '.' so line2[20] will now look like this
line2[20] = "Sittingdownhere"
Then we compare the two arrays again, but the are still not equal and it was the last word in
line(2) so we read to the next '-' in line1 and put into line1[20], It also stop when it meat a '.'
line1[20] = "Sittinghere"
Then we start over with line(2), when it's don, ccostring read the next line i Database fil and
put into line(2).
line(2) = "Karl Martin - Drive buy.mp3" Nr. 2 line in Database file
Start over Read to '-' in line(1) and line(2) and put it into line1[20] and line2[20]
line1[20] = "KarlMartin"
line2[20] = "KarlMartin"
Then we compare the two arrays and the are equal so we return 1 (true) and ccostring print it out
and we read the next line in the Database fil. When we meat EOF in the datefile, we read the next
line in the Input fil. And start over
line(1) = "Aqua - Around the world.mp3"
