CppUnit testing

[gregarion]

Hey guys, i am trying to test one of my classes using cppunit. the class is suppose to extract data out of a certain text file and then displays it... Code:

void readNasdaq::Nasdaq(fstream& myfile)
{
string templine ;
string line;

while (getline (myfile,templine) )
{
    line.append(templine);
}

int NasdaqValueID = line.find ("id=\\"yfs\_l10\_^ixic\\">" , 0) ;
int NasdaqValueCount = line.find ("</span></td><td class=\\"ticker\_down\\"><span class=\\"streaming-datum\\" id=\\"yfs\_c10\_^ixic\\">" , 0) ;

int LocationNasdaqValue = NasdaqValueID + 19 ;
int LengthOfNasdaqValue = NasdaqValueCount - LocationNasdaqValue ;

string NasdaqValue = line.substr( LocationNasdaqValue , LengthOfNasdaqValue ) ;

cout << " " << endl ;
cout << "The Value Index of Nasdaq is " << NasdaqValue << endl ;

int NasdaqValueChangeID = line.find ("id=\"yfs_c10_^ixic\">" , 0 ) ;
int NasdaqValueChangeCount = line.find ("</span></td><td class=\"right_cell ticker_down\"><span class=\"streaming-datum\" id=\"yfs_pp0_^ixic\">" , 0) ;

int LocationNasdaqValueChange = NasdaqValueChangeID + 19 ;
int LengthOfNasdaqValueChange = NasdaqValueChangeCount - LocationNasdaqValueChange ;

string NasdaqValueChange = line.substr (LocationNasdaqValueChange , LengthOfNasdaqValueChange ) ;

cout << "The Value Change for Nasdaq is " << NasdaqValueChange << endl ;

the problem i have with my cppunit is how am i suppose to read the value being outputted and test it... Code:

#include "financetest.h"
#include "finance.h"

CPPUNIT_TEST_SUITE_REGISTRATION (FinanceTest);

void FinanceTest::setUp()
{
New = " ";
NewValue = " " ;

}

void FinanceTest::tearDown()
{

}

void FinanceTest::testEquals()
{

}

How can i continue from here.. really need some help from this

I know it's early, but I'm not seeing what readNasdaq::Nasdaq() has to do with your question. As I understand it, CppUnit is a framework for creating unit tests in C++. What does this have to do with extracting data out of a text file and displaying it?

Sorry, what i meant was to show my class and how it get the information i want to be displayed. I got to use cppunit to test this class to show that it is extracting the right information. For example, if the class extracts "a" , i will have to compare it to the cppunit test and see if it has the same value also. The problem i am facing is how do i do a test based on the output.
