I am writing a program in C++ that is supposed to locate 6 specific lines in an XML file, each line individually holding 25 numeric values, and then find the average of those 25 numeric values for each line separately and output that average to the console window and to an output file. Additionally, I am supposed to extract the 6 time-stamps associated with those 6 specific lines. So far I have been able to implement regex to find and extract and output the 6 time-stamps with success. However, the function to find the average of the 25 numerical wattage/voltage values in each of the 6 lines outputs nothing, despite there being no compiler errors. I've tried to rubber ducky debug my code to no avail, and was hoping that a fresh pair of eyes could point out what I'm doing wrong.
Expected output:
2014-07-08T18:14:17.716Z
2014-07-08T18:14:18.716Z
2014-07-08T18:14:19.716Z
2014-07-08T18:14:20.716Z
2014-07-08T18:14:21.716Z
2014-07-08T18:14:22.716Z
Average Voltage: 3924.76
Average Voltage: 5793.68
Average Voltage: 7149.2
Average Wattage: 19425.5
Average Wattage: 8799.4
Average Wattage: 12602.9
