C/C++ :: Best Way To Read One Bit At A Time From A Binary File?
Nov 9, 2013
I'm trying to do file compression/decompression in C and I need to handle one bit at a time.
I currently try to do:
unsigned char byte = fgetc(fptr);
and later
byte >>= 1;
but the problem is that I have to use the first bit of the byte and then treat the next 8 bits as one byte. The byte usage keeps shifting over in this way. It's probably quite clear that I'm a bit lost.

I am trying to get the code to read from the txt file one bite at a time and then write this bite into the binary file but i cant seem to get it working.
FILE *fpcust, *fpcustbin; //<<<<<-----point to both sales and customers text files, and the new .bin files for both
char buffer;
int ch;
int ch1;
fpcust = fopen("c:customers.txt", "r"); //<<<<-----pointing to the file
fpcustbin = fopen("c:customers.bin", "wb"); //<<<<<-----pointing to the new binary file, opening in writing binary
[Code]...

I am trying to read enormous binary files (10-100GB) and parse their contents a bit at a time. As part of the process I need to get the size of the file in bytes. The simple solution
Code: fseek(file,0,SEEK_END);
size=ftell(file);
fails because the file size overflows the long int type returned by ftell. I need a long long int.
Is there a reasonably efficient way to do this? The good news is that it only needs to be done once. I suppose I could read it one character at a time until I hit the end and keep count, but that just seems inelegant...

I'm trying to read in one value at a time from a file with this function, but its giving me back junk.
javascript:tx(
void ReadValue (istream &inF, int & num, bool & success) {
inF.clear();
inF.seekg(0L, ios::beg);
inF >> num;
cout << num;
[Code] .....

I have a file called example.txt . In that file, the int 123456 is stored. How can I read one independent number from that int? Lets say, I have an int variable called "Weight." How do I set weight equal to the number 1 from the int 123456 in the file?

The objective: Open and read a CSV file one line at a time using SQL commands.
The problem: I am getting an error that I have a feeling may not point to the "real" problem.
Where I may have syntax or other errors in code.
stInputConn = "Provider=Microsoft.jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=V:\IT\RE\Exports\;Extended Properties="text;HDR=YES;Format=Delimited(,)"";
OleDbConnection cn = new OleDbConnection(stInputConn);
stInputFileName = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("InputFile");
// the input file name is CSV_DataExport.CSV
[Code] .....
The last line (ExecuteReader) is where I get the OleDb Exception.

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?

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.

Trying to write very simple code to read a 4 byte int from a file.
code:
int tester;
FILE *fp;
fp=fopen("/home/bdluser/skeleton.blx","rb");
fread(&tester,sizeof(int),1,fp);
printf("tested 1 byte read should be 1: %i",tester);
I have tried editing the binary file....it outputs similar large numbers
00000000000000000000000000000001 outputs 808464432
0x00000001 outputs 808482864
0x10000000 outputs 808548400
10000000000000000000000000000000 outputs 808464433
