C++ :: Appended File Path Not Working

Sep 2, 2014

I need to append file path for some particular program. But the problem is when I append it like below, it gets error whether filepath seems to be C:/Users/My/Desktop/C++/1.txt

int i=1;
stringstream str;
str<<"C:/Users/My/Desktop/C++/"<<i<<".txt";
string filepath=str.str();
cout<<filepath;
ifstream ipf(filepath);
if(ipf)
{ do some thing...}

But if it was like this no error, program work as desired.

int i=1;
stringstream str;
str<<"C:/Users/My/Desktop/C++/"<<i<<".txt";
string filepath=str.str();
cout<<filepath;
ifstream ipf("C:/Users/My/Desktop/C++/1.txt");
if(ipf)
{ do some thing...}

C++ :: Get Full Path Of File?

Nov 26, 2013

I wanted to make my program read the file "input.txt". I did it successfully, but now I want to get the full path of the file "input.txt". Is there any way to do it?

My output should be :

FILE *file;
std::string fullFileName;
file = fopen("input.txt", "rb");
if(file != NULL)
{
// getfullfilename(file, fullFileName);
// std::cout << fullFileName.c_str() << std::endl;

C++ :: Iterate Through A File Path To Extract File Name

Feb 20, 2014

I am trying to iterate through a file path to extract the file name. since the . separating the name from the extension is a unique character, i thought i would reverse iterate from the . to the first separating directories. however, when trying to reference the memory location of the position of the . in the string, i am getting an i-value error:

for (std::string::reverse_iterator iter = &(songPath.find('.')); iter != songPath.rend(); ++iter) {
if (*iter == '')
break;
else
songName.push_back(*iter);
}

C :: Function That Gets As Parameter File And Folder Path

Oct 18, 2014

I'm writing a small function that gets as parameter a file's path and a folder's path, and copies the given file to that folder.

Code:
int copy_file(const char* source, const char* folder) {
char copy[PATH_MAX];
strcpy(copy, folder);
strcat(copy, "/");
strcat(copy, source);

[Code] ....

Basically, this function purpose is to make a backup of source in folder every X minutes (depending on user's input).

The problem is the second call to open():

This call attempts to open the file for writing, and creates it if it is not already exist.

It also truncates it before writing to it - and that's my concern:

Let's say this is the second time this function runs, so copy is already exist. open() will then truncate it, and then one of the system calls in the while loop fails.

In this situation, I might be left with no backup file.

The problem also arises for when source is a read-only file:

If source is a read-only file, and copy is not already exist (meaning - it's the first backup attempt), then everything's fine, but, if source is a read-only file and copy is already exist, then I have to first remove copy altogather, and make a fresh copy of source.

Making a backup with new name for copy every time copy_file() runs, will solve this problem, and how can this be accomplished?

I should say that I'd really prefer that copy and source will have the same names when copy_file() returns...

C/C++ :: Taking In File Path Names From User

Jul 22, 2014

How can I take in a path name like "C:myfolderfile.txt" where the user enters exactly that? I've tried putting the arg into a string, then looping through the string to find the '\', but by that time it is too late as c++ considers the '' as a escape character.

Is this even possible? I've googled it and everyone just says to make the user input the path with double \ or with a /.

C++ :: Open File For Writing Relative Path Given On Runtime

May 18, 2014

How it make it work for my project. Runtime means I am going to have to give the path at the command line?

Here is how I have to run it, so I can test it against the example inputs and outputs they give us to test our program. I am using putty. Already crated the folders inside my project folder, but don't know how to implement it on my source code.

./movie_stats < ./input/test1.in ./my-output/test1.out

What I'm thinking is to open/create the file test1.out in the my-output folder and open it at runtime?

C/C++ :: Change Root Path That Application Uses To Upload File From?

Mar 12, 2013

I have an application which is used for calibration for electrical components. Here I want to set a rootpath for this application. I did some research and I found out that I can get the rootpath of the application (that is where the exe is stored) But what I am really looking for is once I start the application the root path should be what I assign. For instance currently the root path is "C:UsersPublicDocumentsABC.ToolsProjects" but I would like the root path to be "E:New ABC" Is this possible? I wrote some code where I call the exe of the application and it opens the file in a folder that I specify :

private void NewJournal_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{  
string filePath = @"E:New ABCabc.vnalog"
if (!File.Exists(filePath))
{
return;
}  
string SelectedFile = @"/select, " + filePath;
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(@"E:New ABCabc.vnalog", SelectedFile);  
}  

Now this code open the .vnalog file in the application. And this works great..!!! How can I now change the path within the application?

C/C++ :: Importing Data From TXT File And Working With It

Mar 13, 2013

This code will show the data from the .txt file "file1" the data is (0.0 0.1 0.2 0.5 0.8 0.9 1.0)

What I'm trying to do is take these float values and add them all up and divide them by 7 (finding the average and output that)

Convert it into a percent and print it in a field:

Width of 6 with 2 digits after the decimal point...

I tried doing something like cout << "the average is: " << data/7 << endl; but that didn't work. I got an error that said "/" was not an operator.

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;  
int main() {    
    ifstream myfile("file1.txt");
    string data;  
    getline (myfile, data);
    cout << data << endl;      
    myfile.close();    
    return 0;

C :: File Attribute Modification Program Not Working

Mar 27, 2013

I would like to modify attributes like modification/creation dates.The function is correctly working as if I type in "ls -al", the timestamp is correct. But when using my program to read these attributes, it returns the "real" modification/creation date. Here is the function that shows the timestamp :

Code:

time_t t = sb.st_mtime; struct tm tm = *localtime (&t);
char s[32];
strftime (s, sizeof s, "%d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S", &tm);
printf ("%-14s %s", lecture->d_name, s); And here is the code for modifying the timestamps : Code: void modifyAttributes(char * file, int mtime, int atime)

C :: Working With File And Counting Characters / Words And Lines

Dec 17, 2013

I have to write a program (on linux) which will count character, words and lines like wc linux command. I'm trying to write this for last 3 days... First part of app I did and it works fine - command line options to choose. Then I've got a function read_file which I have to use to read a file. One of the options is to get the file name from user and if user will not type any name then the standard file is ubuntu dict file /usr/share/dict/words, this is not working as well...

Counting characters and lines is working fine but because I don't know how to get text from read_file wrote code to read file interior this functions. Words counting is working partly - everything is fine until there are two or more spaces, tabs one after another then counts extra words. Finally I need child processes in words and lines counting functions. Parent process should waits for all childs to finish and should be pipes to submit character counts back to parent process. How to do all this things with processes...

Code:

#include <getopt.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#include <errno.h>
/*size of character buffer to read in a file. */
#define BUFFSIZE 1000000
