reading a file and publishing data to topic
data in the file is of type int [ ] = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}
Code for Node_1 is as follows:
#include<std_msgs/Int32MultiArray.h>
...
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
int temp;
ros::init(argc, argv, "Node_1");
ros::NodeHandle nh;
ros::Publisher publisher = nh.advertise<std_msgs::Int32MultiArray>("Topic_1",1);
std_msgs::Int32MultiArray vec;
ifstream infile("array1.txt");
while(infile >> temp)
{
ROS_INFO("Extracting the elements of the vector from file");
vec.data.push_back(temp);
}
publisher.publish(vec);
ros::spinOnce();
return 0;
}
Executables are created when I compile (using catkin_make)
But when I run this node, the statement
"ROS_INFO("Extracting the elements of the vector from file");"
is not at all executed
What could probably be going wrong?
