hash include pfstream

//this was conceptualized waaaay back in 12th std when we were learning about filestreams in c++. Sitting with Ishan, I'd have to say this was my form of doodling. I can't find the original 'doodle', so I suppose this reconstruction'll just have to do.

/*

A brief recap: iostream.h is the header where you get cin, cout, and to define your own istreams (input streams) and ostreams (o/p streams).

Further, fstream.h includes iostream.h and has the important ifstream, ofstream and fstream objects (i/p file stream, o/p file stream, file streams) which help in file handling in c++.

pfstream.h further includes fstream.h. According to some, it should rather have been called pffstream.h, but the author of the header apparently thought, as do I, that pfstream had a better ring to it. pfstream is about a particular kind of file stream, as the following sample programs shall demonstrate.

//Short program to emulate Satan's Kingdom

#include <pfstream.h>

void main()

{

pfstram pf1 = new pfstream("Hell"); //step1: make the object 'Like Hell'

pf1.controls.set("The Heart Of The Sun"); //step2: Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun (the heat of hell)

pf1.run(); //step3: Run Like Hell

}

//Short program to cheer you up

#include <pfstream.h>

void main()

{

pfstream pf2;

cout << "Enter list of favourite colours";

cin >> pf2.colour; //step2: get Any Colour You Like

if(pf2.colour == blue)

{

cout << "Answer the following questions to win the jackpot." <<endl ;

cout << "Do you care if the sun does shine?" <<endl ;

cout << "Do you care if nothing is yours?" <<endl ;

cout << "Do you care if you're nervous with me?" <<endl ;

cout << "Will you do your loving outside the winter?" <<endl ;

cin >> pf2.answers;

if(pf2.answers == "NO")

cout << "Thank you for choosing the colour blue. And for answering the questions correctly, you have won the jackpot. May it cheer you up from your (jugband) blues." <<endl ;

}

}

//Short program for animal rights

#include <pfstream.h>

void main()

{

pfstream pf3;

pf3 = new pf3("Animals");

switch(pf3.animal)

{

case sheep:

if(pf3.tools == "Bright knives") pf3.animal.soul.release(); //With bright knives he releaseth my soul

break;

case dogs:

pf3.animal.war.loose(); //Let loose the dogs of war

break;

case tigers:

do

{

}while(!pf3.animal.free);

pf3.ground.frost=true; //There was frost in the ground when the tigers broke free

break;

}

}
