Is there a possibility to generate a std::string from a FILE following some rules using template meta-programming (or possibly the preprocessor)?
Are you familiar with makefiles? the preprocessor? This might be a suitable recipe for you. 1. Write a program to turn the contents of a text file into, say, a C or C++ file that contains the text of the file in question. Something like a program that takes this (sample.txt) :- This is the first line of sample.txt This is the second line of sample.txt And outputs something like this as something like sample.c:- char *MessageArray[] = { "This is the first line of sample.txt", "This is the second line of sample.txt" }; Which can then be #included into your source code, ready to be compiled along with the rest of your code, The role of the makefile would be to generate the C source code before it gets compiled, invoking a utility program (written by you) to turn sample.txt into sample.c.
