C/C++ :: Determining Extension Type Of A File Using Binary
Oct 13, 2014
I am trying to write a function that determine if a file in a directory is of a gif/bmp/png/jpg extension. Right now I think I have correctly written my code all the way up to listing the files in the directory and opening them in binary mode.
Now, I am struggling with figuring out how to determine what extension the image is. Right now i am just focusing on writing my "bool isGif();" function... To determine if a file is a .gif extension using binary, the first 6 bytes of the file will contain either GIF87a or GIF89a.So, to do this I would read the first six bytes of the file using the function below, correct?
fin.read((char *) &a_file, 6)
Then, once I read in the first six bytes how would I conditionally compare it to determine if it is a .gif? Would I just use
if(fin == "GIF87a II GIF89a) {
\do something here
}
Because that doesn't seem to be working...

I am trying to extract the numbers from Numbers.txt, and then put them in the correct file, either Odd.txt or Even.txt, depending on what they are. And I have gotten to a point where I am not sure what to do; right now it just reads Numbers.txt and then the program ends.
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>

i have to read a file with between 5 and 10 pairs of numbers, each on a different line. i can read the file, and wrote something to save the length of the file as a variable, but when i use it i start returning crazy data. the problem is in the do while loop and i want to change the i< in the for loop to "lines" so the code stops when the last digit is read. if i use i<10 the file has extra digits is the file is only 8 or 5 pairs of numbers.
FILE *Fpointout;
FILE *Fpointin = fopen ("test.txt","r"); //read this one
Fpointout = fopen ("out.txt","w"); //write this one
if (Fpointin == NULL) //if no file in source {
printf ("File does not exist."); //tell user it is not there

I have to make a program to read a file with strings and determine if they are palindromes. The problem is that the program says that they're all palindromes.
int main() {
ifstream inFile;
ofstream outFile;
inFile.open("in.data");
outFile.open("out.data");
if (!inFile || !outFile) //to display error if input files are invalid

Is it possible to define and write your own file extension. if so is it an easy process or a complex waste of time. All I want to do is define a source file for a programming language I write.

The code below is used to return a file path.
private string BrowseJournalFile(string startRelativePath)
{
string str = "Journal files (*.log)|*.log|All files (*.*)|*.*";
return PathTools.BrowseFile(startRelativePath, str, this.RootPath);
}
So once I click browse I get something like "E:New Files" But there is this .log file in this folder which I want to automatically store in this path.
Right now I have to click on this .log file and then select open. Is there a way I can directly load the file.I have been trying to use the FileStream but no luck.

If I don't assign the icon to my executable file (f.e. it's a DOS application), or I have some unknown extension in the file, Windows Explorer assigns the icon to this file.
Is there a way to somehow get this icon? Either from the registry or by any other means.

I have a problem with an extension DLL that has an exported function. The function is being exported ok, it is called by a Windows service. The Windows service is using the exported function, and everything works. I am trying to create a file with:
ofstream file;
file.open("C:dir ofile", ios:ut);
file << "text";
But nothing happnes however. There are no errors, the file is just not created. Also, if i try to call MessageBox() in the exported function, nothing happens as well . I have a .h file which exports the function with __declspec(dllexport) DWORD WINAPI functionName(), and also a .cpp file with the function definition. There is no main().

int a[3][3],i,j;
float determinant=0;
int x;
FILE *fp = fopen ("file.bin", "wb");

determining if a value entered in loop is an odd or even number. Also, the value can't be int because it may be a decimal value(therefore i cant use the if(x%==0).
I need to replace the if(value%2 ==0) else num_even++ statement in my code with something else that will work with float to determine odd vs even.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
int num_values;
float sum_values = 0;
int num_neg_values = 0;
int num_pos_values = 0;

I need function to determine where to place new element in sorted array. I want to use binary search to find index where element should be placed, when push all others.
Prototype should be something like
int WhereToPlaceElement(ElementType hash); // uses private atribute ElType** elements
I have tried my best to write, but all tries ended in inf loops and reading invalid locations of array.

I am new at c++ and I am trying to write a code to determine the maximum deflection at the end of a cantilevered beam. I am given the formula : deflection= (4 W L^3)/(E B H^3) where W is the load weight, L is the beams length, E is the modulus of elasticity, B is the beams base, and H is the beams height.

Is it possible with C# to get the default program for an extension? I've already done some research for it, but the only thing I've found out is a way to make my program the default program for an extension. So I my question is, is it possible to use anything similar to check if there is already an default program for an specific extension and which program is it?

If I drop this regular dll project and create a new MFC extension dll project, it will involve too much work. I wonder if there is relatively easier way to convert an existing regular dll project to a MFC extension dll project? BTW, how can I tell a MFC extension dll project from a regular dll project?

I have created a Namespace Extension (I hope so) by creating a ATL Project with MFC support as dll in Visual Studio 2010.
Now I have a Implementation of IShellFolder:
Code:
// ILCShellFolder.h: Deklaration von CILCShellFolder
#pragma once
#include "resource.h" // Hauptsymbole
#include "NewNSE_i.h"
#if defined(_WIN32_WCE) && !defined(_CE_DCOM) && !defined(_CE_ALLOW_SINGLE_THREADED_OBJECTS_IN_MTA)
[Code] ....
Not any of those IShellFolder Methods is being called... When I attach the explorer.exe process (which I know I can use to debug on other projects, just in case to exclude errors) it tells me that the DLL is not loaded by the explorer.exe process.

I'm digging an old project and i can't switch to a newer visual studio.
I want to plot float data array during debug.
I know some IDE's have such option. There is a separate window in which we can plot data.
Can I write such plugin for Visual Studio 6.0 using visual studio SDK?
Does it support 6.0 version?

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 need to create certain objects which are listed in a file. So my code needs to run a loop and create objects(of type specified in file) and put them in a list.
It appears to me that type specifiers can't be replaced by string. Is there a way out ? I want following code to be working somehow.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

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?

This is a c++ Code. I want to read a address to a pointer. When I try to do so it generates an error. I did is >> obj1[0].contentAdress; in main.
struct node3{
node3(){
nextContent = NULL;
for (int i = 0; i<1020; i++)
content[i] = '';
[code]...
no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'node3 *' (or there is no acceptable conversion)
