[Csci551-talk] RE: Is the sample code meant to work?

[Xi Wang]

Seems an earlier version of parser.cpp is released instead of the final 
version. You can simply change the following function at the beginning 
of the file. (Note while loop condition is changed.)

int CParser::getgoodlinene(char *buf)
{
     do {
         if (fgets(buf, BUFFSIZE, fp) == NULL) {
             return 1;
         }
     } while (buf[0] == '#' || buf[0] == 10 || buf[0] == 13 || buf[0] == 0);
     return 0;
}
