keep printing lst char

Code:

---

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char * argv[])
{
        if(argc<2)
        {
        cout<<"The correct format is file <string>"<<endl;
        return 0;
        }
        cout<<"correct number of parimeters."<<endl;
        cout<<"You have "<<argc<<" parimeter"<<endl;
        for(int x=0;x<argc;x++)
        {
                cout<<argv[x]<<endl;
        }
        if(argc>2)
        {
        if(argv[1]="open")
        {
                ifstream a_file;
                        a_file.open(argv[2]);
                        char x;
                a_file.get(x);
                        while(x!=EOF)
                        {
                                cout<<x;
                                a_file.get(x);
                        }
                a_file.close();
        }
        }
        return 0;
}

all of the code works, apart from the fact that it keeps printing out the last character in the text file.

AFAIK ifstream::get() never retrieves the EOF character. Use ifstream::eof() to test for the end-of-file condition instead.

Code:

---

a_file.open(argv[2]);
char x;
a_file.get(x);
while(!a_file.eof())
{
        cout<<x;
        a_file.get(x);
}
a_file.close();

This might eat the last character of the file, maybe you have to reorder the code.

thanks its working great

btw, it didnt eat the last character.

Thanks :)
