C++ :: Binary File Space Allocation?
Aug 26, 2014If every record of a binary file is to be fixed length then shouldn't some space be wasted if variables are different size in a struct?

View 7 RepliesI want to write a c++ code that due the structure of file space allocation,Simulates file system with 2*n array. Each column represents a sector. The first row is for storing files And second row holds the address of the next sector (Number of columns). And With each click on keyboard Create a file with random size and automatically find Appropriate sectors by using disk allocation method (or index allocation)... Also File names should be asked from user... And we should have file table Where the starting address of each sector,file extension and file size is given..

How can I get them to be space out properly like: 1000 1000?
Im guessing its something in my loop. Here's my function for converting to binary:
void DisplayBinary(int num) {
int ctr;
unsigned int mask = 32768;
printf("
The input number in binary is: ");
for (ctr = 1; ctr <= 16; ctr++) {

Following is the program I wrote it basically takes 9 inputs and then save them into binary file. then print out the data stored in binary data and find inverse of it then print the inverse out. but its stuck in a loop somewhere.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int a[3][3],i,j;
float determinant=0;
int x;
FILE *fp = fopen ("file.bin", "wb");

I have a problem, caught the last line of a file and do the division of the same variables in, date, time and value, but the file contains excess spaces in all lines and the date is coming with cuts, example 24/4/2014 appears 4/4/2014. How can I remove the space in the string without affecting the division of the line?
if (file) {
std::string line = getLastLine(file);
std::istringstream iss(line);
getline(iss, date, ' ');
getline(iss, time, ' ');
getline(iss, t); //variavel para temperatura em string
}
else {
std::cout << "error file
";
I am working on an OOP assignment (text handler) which part of its description is:
Some lines of text as a story which the delimiter between each story is %%%%%
Each text loaded should only occupy the space needed for the text to fit.
It's required to use dynamic variables of type char*. To be more detailed, the text-handler must contain a vector of such char-pointers (i.e. c-strings), and the parameter in the constructor indicates how many pointers (c-strings) to be contained in the vector. Each loaded text will be represented by a number, so that the first text in the file gets number 0 and the next one gets number 1 ... etc. When you want to access a text, you request the text with a certain number, and then get a pointer in return that may be used to output the text on the screen.
My problem is first to allocate a dynamic memory like char** without defining the number of array elements (Each text loaded should only occupy the space needed for the text to fit. )and then store each story from text file (comprise of a few lines of text) into that dynamically located memory(char **)to be able to do some operation on it later.
this is the code I tried in my code block 10.05.....tried code for removing all white space from a line of a txt file. this is my code it runs but i cant get the result i need.

Write a program that opens a file and counts the whitespace-separated words in that file.?
My code that i wrote for this example is as follows...
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
int main() {
string filename = "Question 1.cpp"; // File name goes in here
[Code] ....
Is this correct or am i missing something?
I intent to use this mechanism for rename the file because the file name consists Unicode characters . I would like to know why the return value of "MoveFileExW" is false for file name consists 'space','hyphen' etc.(sometimes even without a Unicode character).for accepting 'space','hyphen' what type of conversion I would use [I.e.: Does the root cause of failure is due to CP_UTF8 type use].
Code:
//! inputPath & final_inputPath consist source and destination file name and are std::string
//! Both are in same directory F: est_files
std::wstring unicode_input_original;
int unicode_input_length_original = 0
[Code] ....
Question is : Write a program that opens a file and counts the whitespace-separated words in that file.?
my answer is :
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
int main() {
string filename = "Question 1.cpp"; // File name goes in here
[Code] ....
Now I am not sure if im suppose to get a msg saying : The file "Question 1.cpp" has 0 words.
im wondering is the question that im being asked, asking me to input a string of words and then the compiler when it builds and runs the program counts the word spaces.?
I need to read lines from one file and copy them line by line into another file using dynamic memory allocation. It compiles but gives me a seg fault. Why/How?

fp1=fopen("file1","r");
fp2=fopen("file3","w+");

I need to create a program which could create text files of the bits stored in avi file/binary file. My first requirement is to show 0s and 1s in the text representation . My second requirement is to create an avi file from this text file. I have tried few codings but either they give me error or they not playing the reconverted binary files.

I just wrote a program for Huffman Encoding, where I take a text file, encode it in the form of 0's and 1's, and save that as another text file. However, this does not solve my purpose as it is taking even more space.
So I want to know how do I convert a text file containing these 0'S & 1's to a binary format.
Here is my program:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include<fstream>
#include<string>
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
typedef struct node_t {
struct node_t *left, *right;
int freq;
char c;

I want to convert a text file into binary file. I should create the text file by myself. I also use a structure for the components:
struct Data
{
int num;
char name[30];
};
I write information in the text file like this:
Data d;
cin >> d.num >> d.name;
fstream file("Name.txt");
file << d.num << d.name << '
';
If I have entered:
3 Steve
is easy to get this data. I just make another variables and get the data in them:
int num2;
char name2[30];
file >> num2 >> name2;
And everything is done. But what if I have this:
cin >> d.num;
cin.getline(d.name, 100);
file << d.num << d.name;
and the input is:
5 Steve Brown
I can get the number easy like before but how can I get the whole name? If I use:
int num2;
file >> num2;
char a[30];
file >> a;
I get only the first name "Steve". Can I get somehow and the second name in the same variable?
When reading a binary .img why is it when you read it by slurping in the file, then save it to a string and cout, you don't see the binary but random garbage?

Is there way to see the binary content of this file.
What is the difference between reading from binary file between the following way:
struct aStrct{
int number;

while(file.good())
file.read((char*)&vars, sizeof(aStrct))

while(file.good())
file.read((char*)&vars[i], sizeof(aStrct))
i++;

This is supposed to read a series of 16 bit binary numbers as short ints in the array memory. However, it only appears to be reading the first number.
Code:
short int memory[256];
void readFile(){
//read input file into int memory[]
FILE *ifp;
ifp = fopen("proj1a.dat", "r"); //input file

I'm wondering which method faster in comparing structures from a binary file.
Method 1:
Reading through the file one structure and a time and comparing each structure.
Method 2:
Reading numerous structures and allocating to memory , then reading through each allocated memory and comparing.
I'm not the best at C but I'm trying to write a C function that basically opens a text file with assembler language does a syntax error check on it and then converts the binary data into hex.
This is my code so far:
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main(void)
{
FILE*fname;
char prompt;
char filename[15];
char text[100];
printf( "Please enter the name of the file you wish to open: " );

I use the following function to read doubles from a binary file:
Code:
int64_t read_current(FILE *input, double *current, uint64_t position, uint64_t length)
{
printf("asked for %" PRIu64" samples
",length);
printf("reading from %" PRIu64 " to %" PRIu64 "
",position,position+length);
union{
double d;
uint64_t i;
}
[code]...
As long as position+length doesn't exceed the end of the file, all is well. However, if it does, weird things start to happen. In particular, the apparent length of the file (that is, the value of "read" after the function has finished) becomes dependent on "length"). I know that "position" is never past the end of the file.
I'm attempting to split a large binary file into smaller manageable files for analysis. I've written most of the software but I'm stuck in a couple of places.
1. The binary file is split by looking at a couple of bytes to determine when to create a new file or continue appending to the current new file. The question is when I need to create a new file, how can I dynamically sign it a name? My intention is to rename each subfile by: "original_name" + new section id + ".log".
2. The start of each section is determined by a specific pattern (6 bytes of FF's). I'm running into an issue where the pattern check is checking for 5 bytes instead of 6 because the for..loop doesn't increment for one instance.
I've attached the code I have so far.
#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>
using namespace std;
int append_to_file(FILE *f,long sec_start, long sec_end)

How to store values from a .txt file delimited with semicolons (;) into a class which is then stored into a Binary Search Tree. After browsing Google for a few hours, and trying various examples of people using Vectors, I just can't seem to get my program to work using Object Oriented Programming with an instance of the class Person.
My two classes are Person, and BinarySearchTree as follows:
class Person{
private:
string first_surname;
string second_surname;
string name;
int ID;
[Code] ....
Ok so my text file saves the data of each person in the same order as the class with each value separated by a semicolon.
i.e. First_Surname;Second_Surname;Name;ID;Telephone;Score;
void fillTree( BinarySearchTree *b) {
string input[7];
Person p;
fstream file("scores.txt", ios::in); // reads text file
if(file.is_open()) {
[Code] ....
I understand that I get an error because a vector is saved as integers, and I am using strings, my question is, any other way to read the .txt file and save each data separated by a semicolon, into the Person class?
How would I store a 234 tree in a binary file?
I've never worked with trees or binary files before so it is very confusing.
