Text Editor Using C++

project4/

Basic text editor running in the console. It allows a user to open a file, display its content, edit it, and save the changes back to the file

This code defines a simple text editor that allows a user to edit text files from the console. Here's a breakdown:

1. Headers:

- : Provides functionality to use standard input/output streams.

- : Provides functionality for file input/output operations.

- : Provides the vector container.

- : Provides the string class.

2. TextEditor Class:

- Private Members:

- filename: The name of the file to be edited.

- lines: A vector that holds the lines of the file.

- Public Members & Methods:

- Constructor: Initializes filename with the passed value.

- load(): Opens and reads the file named filename, storing each line into the vector of the line.

- edit():

- Displays a message indicating the file being edited.

- Clears the vector of the existing line.

- Continuously reads lines from standard input (cin) until the user types "EXIT". Each line entered is stored in the vector of the line.

- save():

- Opens the file named filename for writing.

- Writes each line from the lines vector into the file.

- If an error opens the file for writing, it outputs an error message.

- Display (): Outputs the current content of the vector of the line to the console.

3. main() function:

- Asks the user to enter the file name they wish to edit.

- Clears the newline left in the input buffer after entering the filename.

- Creates a TextEditor object named editor with the given filename.

- Loads the content of the file (if it exists).

- Displays the current content of the file.

- Allows the user to edit the file content.

- Saves the changes back to the file.

- Confirms that the changes have been saved.

When you run this code, you can enter a filename. The program will then display its contents (if it exists), allow you to edit it, and save your changes to the file.
