I think using a ctor for the OP's problem is fine.  We're definitely 
getting to the point here where there's a surfeit of advice.  I object 
to file I/O in a ctor, it's gauche.  Almost anything else is fine, as 
long as you adhere to best practice and avoid things like this-escape 
and so forth.  The OP's ctor is probably about 7 lines of code.  That's 
pretty trivial for a ctor, imo.

The OP's main problem is he doesn't seem to understand how to construct 
his if-statement to give him the output he needs.  Well, that and a 
certain newbishness using the language overall, but that's to be expected.
