I just installed Netbeans 6.5 (downloaded from Kubuntu repository)and set-up its plugins for C++.

I tested it with this simple code

//: C02:Scopy.cpp
// Copy one file to another, a line at a time
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
ifstream in("Scopy.cpp"); // Open for reading
ofstream out("Scopy2.cpp"); // Open for writing
string s;
while(getline(in, s)) // Discards newline char
out << s << "\n"; // ... must add it back
} ///:~


I compiled it (Run/Build), navigated to the directory where I found the executable, put a sample file "Scopy.cpp" in it, run the program with ./<name>, and it worked fine, it created Scopy2.cpp in the same directory and I was happy.

Then i tested the NetBeans Debug functions ("Step into" and "Step over", keys F7 and F8) and I stopped being happy.

I just can't get it to work, it does not seem to open the file for reading: I am sure of it because it does not enter the While block, and so I added the line

bool h=in.Is_Open();

and h remains "false".



Any idea? I thought that there must be some setup to indicate the path in which to look for files, and so I tried also to substitute

ifstream in("Scopy.cpp");

with

ifstream in("/home/.../Scopy.cpp");

but nothing changed.

Thanks

Try open the file in a different way, it might help to solve the problem.

Try the c stdio.h header and use, freopen(name, mode, filestream) to get and put files.

#include <stdio.h> // need this
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char ** argv){

freopen("filename.txt", "r", stdin); // to get stdin from the files
freopen("filename.txt", "w", stdout);

//and

cout << "Hello world" << endl; // puts into your file.

string str;
while(cin >> str){ // will get from your file.
vector<string> lines;lines.push_back(str); // and plant it in a vector
}
return 0;
}
I hope it solves the problem.

Well, thanks bu it is not exactly what I was looking for...

My problem is not related to code: it just works, once it is compiled.

My problem is that I need a working debugging environment, and at the moment when I go through the code line by line with the debugger I don't obtain the same results as when I run the compiled code...
