C/C++ :: Getline Won't Wait For Input
Jun 6, 2014
Down on line 74, it does not wait cor an input, it simply says ...you failed.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <Windows.h>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;
//prototyping--
void flater();

I have a problem with creating a process and waiting until the main window of the new process was shown. I thought I can wait for it with
WaitForInputIdle(pi.hp,INFINITE);
But when the function returns, the handle of the main window of the new process is not available. If I include also a ::Sleep(), the new window is available. Sleep is a bad solution. How can I do it?

I'm working on a project that requires to make modifications to certain functions. So, I'll copy and paste the function to a new source code so I'm just working on the function with the entire program running. When I run the function by itself, it works fine. But when I copy and paste the function back to it's spot, the program doesn't wait for input at the cin.getline & it did wait when I ran just the function by itself. I'm using Dev C++ if that makes a difference.

I'm writing a simple text adventure style program in order to practice C++. I originally used char to get whether the user wanted to go north, south etc, requiring they enter W, A, S, or D, and then I used a switch statement, rather than a bunch of else if blocks to move in the appropriate direction. Last night I started updating the code and wanted to require the user type an actual string like "go north" to move, so I'm in the process of converting it over to getline();.
The way it works is the user will input "go north", and if the string is equal to "go north" it will set a variable to 1, 2, 3, or 4, so I can keep the switch statement. The program compiles but whenever it asks for user input, it always hangs waiting for 2 separate lines of input regardless of whether or not you put a space between your command. The move function is as follows:
void movement() {
bool loop = true;
int roomNorth = 0;
int roomWest = 0;
int roomSouth = 0;
int roomEast = 0;
int dirOption;
string dir = "";
[code]....
I read that it could be an issue with getline and the new line characters, which is why I added the cin.ignore in there...so yea the code will wait for 2 separate lines of input and then always outputs "Invalid direction!" regardless of the input.

I've been stuck on this for hours, and have scoured the internet for any insight on this particular issue with no luck.
I'll simplify the problem here. I have a lines in an input file:
John Smith 1234 Main St New York
Carol Thomas 5678 5th Ave Columbus
...
and I am reading into character arrays using code like this:
infile.getline(name,20);
infile.getline(street,15);
infile.getline(city,10);
but when I print the output using something like this:
outfile << "Owner Name: " << name << endl;
outfile << "Address: " << street << city << endl;
(let's pretend I included spaces between the address components, which I omitted to save space)
I get an output file of:
Owner Name: John Smith
Address:
The output stops after the name variable, which I believe is stored correctly. I don't think anything is storing in the address pieces, this is the problem.
I think it's because I'm not using getline() properly in this case. Can you string together multiple getline()s like that?
If this was my design, I'd read in strings instead, but that is not possible in this case.

This code work fine...but i want to take name from user..how i store it in character array through getline()..

I have written a C++ program I have multiple of CSV file used as input, which I open one at a time and close it after extracting data to a output file which is the only file.
I run getline(inFile,line);
outFile << line << endl;
I run this code, and only part of it is goes to the output file I got, also have spacing randomly to specific file and inconsistent
But when I slower the code, like system("Pause") in the loop, I can get extract what I want perfectly....
Is my program running to fast, why getline would be skipping part of what things I want?

I am trying to write a program that can communicate over a very latent internet connection involving a cellular modem. I have some software packages that handle all the telnet like business and will pipe stdout and stdin to a program I can have it execute.
The problem I am running into is that I have to send about 900 ASCII commands to an instrument to request data but it takes about a second between when a command goes out and when a reply comes back. This will wind up taking a very long time and I am looking to speed it up. All of the commands are independent of the reply so what I need to do is create a program that can send all 900 commands with maybe 10ms break between them and to not wait for a reply. It then needs to read the replies and write them straight to a file.
It seems like this should be achievable in C++ but I only have a very basic understanding of the language and thus am not sure where to start.
I am open to using other languages but thought C++ would be a reasonably good start so I can distribute the program to my coworkers. All of our work machines are Windows but if there is a simpler solution from Linux, I should be able to work something out. I'm just trying to avoid complication.

I have a client/server program. My Client process spawns my server process using a `fork()` and `system()` call. The client and the server are meant to communicate to each other through named piped, that is a requirement of my homework. The client and the server are supposed to initially send a message to the other one, through a pipe, to confirm that a connection is made. My issue is that my client is trying to open one of the named pipes before the server has a chance to make it. This doesn't always happen though. Occasionally, it will run fine. Is there some way to synchronize this?
My overall goal is to get a filename and search target from the user, send those to the server through a named pipe. And the server searches for the target and sends info back.
OUTPUT:
Client: PID 2986 - Running on Tue Sep 30 20:59:28 2014
Client: PID 2986 - Enter File Name: largeSampleText.txt
Server PID 2988 - Running on Tue Sep 30 20:59:32 2014
Server: PID 2988 - Synchronized to Client.//This means the client-to-server fifo is working
There was an error opening serverToClientfifo//This means client couldn't open the server-to-client fifo
error is: 2//This means the fifo doesn't exist yet
[Code] ....
CORRECT OUTPUT:
Client: PID 2542 - Running on Tue Sep 30 20:58:44 2014
Client: PID 2542 - Enter File Name: largeSampleText.txt
Server PID 2557 - Running on Tue Sep 30 20:58:54 2014
Server: PID 2557 - Synchronized to Client.
[Code] ....
RELEVANT CLIENT CODE:
int main() {
char requestedFileName[1024];
//Get initial information on the client
pid_t clientPID = getpid();
time_t currentTime = time(0);
char* stringTime= ctime(¤tTime);
[Code] ....
I tried creating both of my fifos in my client and my output changed to this
Client: PID 3150 - Running on Tue Sep 30 21:23:17 2014
Client: PID 3150 - Enter File Name: largeSampleText.txt
Client: PID 3150 - Enter Target:
Server PID 3153 - Running on Tue Sep 30 21:23:21 2014
was
Client: PID 3150 - Input File >>>largeSampleText.txt<<<
Client: PID 3150 - Target >>>was<<<
Client: PID 3150 - Synchronized to Server
Server received unexpected connection message
Message: was
Terminating
So It appears like the client went ahead and put `requestedFileName` and`requestedTarget`into the pipe and the server read out `requestedTarget` instead of the connection message. Not sure why though

I've just started learning from "Jumping into C++". Great book. Unfortunately, I've also encountered my first snag. Practice problem number 3 from chapter 4 tells me to make a small calculator that takes one of the four arithmetic operations and its two arguments as input and give the result as output. Here's what my newbie mind came up with:
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main()
[Code] .....
The thing that I don't get is why doesn't the function "getline" work. It's worked in previous programs. The program seems to work if I simply replace getline with a simple "cin". I could easily use that as a cheap fix but I am interested in knowing why "getline" refuses to work anymore....

I'm currently trying to write a while loop that checks if the text file has read all the contents inside. I've tried using
while(!in.eof())
but as usual it executes my loop an extra iteration, printing my last output twice. I am reading my data in from a method inside a class, so I cannot use getline as my while test to check if the file has read input or not. Is there any way to force my loop to check if the end of file has been read before the eof() test is executed?

I am just trying to get a code going for a mock test and to get use to the getline and IF operations, but it seems I have ran into an issue[URL] is a link to the code I have written, and I can use getline to give a value to my variable, but it seems like it gets lost once I try to use the IF function. Am I not using the right variable type?

I have just started working through "Jumping into C++". I am at the section on appending strings. The tutorial mentions the getline function but I can not seem to get it to activate. There is no mention of any other inclusions.
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
[Code] ....
I note that the getline function color remains black while other functions are green. I presume this means that Codeblocks has not associated it with any of the listed header files. Has the tutorial omitted this detail?

How the getline function works.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
int main() {
[Code] ......
getline(&inputstr, 128, NULL); getline gets a line in a data file.
I assume that inputstr[128] is the name of the file? why is the number of the array in the getline function....

why does this happen that if i use
string ans;
for(int i=1; i<3; i++)
{
cout << "enter an option" << endl;
getline(cin,ans)
}
in a loop it always skips the first time but in the next times it asks?

I am trying to use getline as the conditional for a while loop as seen below.
string filename, guard_name;
int call_number;
vector <Seniority> SeniorityList;
ifstream SeniorityFile;
[Code] ....
However, when I compile the code, I get the following error message on the line with the while loop.
error C2780: 'std::basic_istream<_Elem,_Traits>
&std::getline(std::basic_istream<_Elem,_Traits>
&,std::basic_string<_Elem,_Traits,_Alloc>
&)' : expects 2 arguments - 3 provided
The program will be reading in a .csv file, so I need my program to be able to deal with values separated by commas. Is there a reason why it will not accept that conditional statement?

I used getline to import EMPLOYEE's First and Last Name from a txt file. After calculating the weights ans stuff. Now when i try to write to output txt file am having the below issue in which its not putting it in one line.
***CODE***
fout << "Note: This report for " << employee << " was prepared according to the fair practice of the University." << endl ;
***THIS IS WHAT ITS PRINTING***
Note: This report for FIRSTNAME LASTNAME was prepared according to the fair practice of the University.
I also tried like this;
***CODE***
fout << "Note: This report for " << getline(fin, employee) <<" was prepared according to the fair practice of the University." << endl ;
***THIS IS WHAT ITS PRINTING***
Note: This report for 0 was prepared according to the fair practice of the University.
this second code puts everything in one line but its showing 0 (zero) instead of the employee's first and last name.
