Here's a sample that we used for cross-platform embeddeding of files.
It's pretty simplistic, but will probably work for you.
You may also need to change how it's handling linefeeds in the escapeLine function.
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <cstdio>
using namespace std;
std::string escapeLine( std::string orig )
{
string retme;
for (unsigned int i=0; i<orig.size(); i++)
{
switch (orig[i])
{
case '\\':
retme += "\\\\";
break;
case '"':
retme += "\\\"";
break;
case '\n': // Strip out the final linefeed.
break;
default:
retme += orig[i];
}
}
retme += "\\n"; // Add an escaped linefeed to the escaped string.
return retme;
}
int main( int argc, char ** argv )
{
string filenamein, filenameout;
if ( argc > 1 )
filenamein = argv[ 1 ];
else
{
// Not enough arguments
fprintf( stderr, "Usage: %s <file to convert.mel> [ <output file name.mel> ]\n", argv[0] );
exit( -1 );
}
if ( argc > 2 )
filenameout = argv[ 2 ];
else
{
string new_ending = "_mel.h";
filenameout = filenamein;
std::string::size_type pos;
pos = filenameout.find( ".mel" );
if (pos == std::string::npos)
filenameout += new_ending;
else
filenameout.replace( pos, new_ending.size(), new_ending );
}
printf( "Converting \"%s\" to \"%s\"\n", filenamein.c_str(), filenameout.c_str() );
ifstream filein( filenamein.c_str(), ios::in );
ofstream fileout( filenameout.c_str(), ios::out );
if (!filein.good())
{
fprintf( stderr, "Unable to open input file %s\n", filenamein.c_str() );
exit( -2 );
}
if (!fileout.good())
{
fprintf( stderr, "Unable to open output file %s\n", filenameout.c_str() );
exit( -3 );
}
// Write the file.
fileout << "tempstr = ";
while( filein.good() )
{
string buff;
if ( getline( filein, buff ) )
{
fileout << "\"" << escapeLine( buff ) << "\"" << endl;
}
}
fileout << ";" << endl;
filein.close();
fileout.close();
return 0;
}
