C :: Read From Stdin (File) Character By Character

Nov 10, 2013

I have to optimize a code for below scenario. I am reading stdin (a file redirected to stdin) character by character. How many chars are going to come is not known. After every few chars there is a seaparator. e.g $ as below

rhhrkkj$hghjhdf$ddfkrjt

While reading, if the separator arrives I'm processing the string stored before that separator and then continue reading stdin in same fashion, till EOF. I am using getc(stdin) to read chars.

Using gprof I can see most of the program time is spent inside main() , for this reading logic. Rest of the program is just some insert and search operations. I am getting time of 0.01 secs at the moment, want to reduce further.

C++ :: How To Read TXT File Character By Character

Oct 6, 2013

In my program, I'm supposed to read a text file (the name of which is given to me as a command line paramater, as long with an integer), and display the text in a specific format (each line can only be as long as the integer). However, I'm having trouble even reading the text file. I don't know the syntax. I'm only allowed to edit the function that does the formatting, and the code in that is

void typeset (int maxWidth, istream& documentIn)

I don't know how to 'read' the file, as most examples online are ifstream, or openFile or something like that. What I want to do is just read the first character of the file, and continuously keep reading characters until the end of the file.

C :: Using Scanf To Read A Character From Standard Input

Nov 1, 2013

So running the following code

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void) {
char c;
int i=1;
while (scanf("%c", &c)==1)
printf("loop sequence %i: %c(%i)

[Code] ......

Done it seems a "carriage return" serves two purposes here, one is to signal the program to read in the character typed in before the "carriage return", another serves as a second character typed, how can i do this cleanly, that is without having to use a "carriage return" as the second character to signal "I've typed in the first character already".

C :: Read String From Input Then Determine Which Character Is The Largest

Jan 12, 2015

I'm very new to c programming and I have some background in C# and java. I am supposed to read a string from input then determine in that string, which character is the largest, i.e. I think b>e and e>z, e.t.c. If the string is empty I should return ''.

I haven't done any programming in C before and I don't know how to handle strings and characters in C.

C++ :: Multi-character Character Constant Error Message?

Sep 14, 2014

I keep getting this warning message and I do not know how to fix it. Is it because I'm using char to instead of strings to replace all 't' with 'lp'?

#include<iostream>

C/C++ :: Replacing Character In String With Another Character

Sep 13, 2014

So I'm trying to create a function that replaces any instance of a character in a string with another. So first I tried the replace() string member function:

In my implementation file

void NewString::ReplaceChar(const char& target,const char& entry)
{
this->replace(this->begin(),this->end(), target, entry);
};

Main program

#include "NewString.h"
using namespace ...;
int main()

[Code].....

Instead of replacing the the l's with y's it outputted a long string of y's. Also, NewString is derived from the string class (it's for the assignment). the header and whole implementation file, already tested.

I've also tried, instead, to use a for loop in ReplaceChar() but I need to overload the == operator and I don't know how I should exactly:

bool NewString::operator ==(const char& target)const {
if(*this == target)
return true;

[Code]....

I want the == operator to test if the value in the char array is equal to target but I'm not sure how to pass in the position. I'm guessing the this pointer in ReplaceChar() is not the same as the one dereferenced in ==() because target is never replaced by entry in the string.

C :: How To Read In A Character Followed By Integer Without Space

Feb 13, 2014

how to carry out the conversions. The assignment is the normal hex to octal and Quart (base 4) via bit munipulation which I have worked out myself. However, I have been trying all day to figure out how to read in a string such as H1234, or O4567. How to parse the input I can handle the remainder myself. I'm just stuck and I've tried for hours.

C++ :: Why Two Scanf Needed To Read Character

Mar 11, 2012

Below given is the code, which allocates memory for a structure dynamically and stores value in its member. The problem is in the last scanf statement which reads 'ch'. The code will be in infinite loop as it doesnt executes the last scanf statement. The solution for this is (i use this) to add one more similar scanf statement for 'ch' in the very next line. If i do so, it executes the statement, reads 'ch' and then continues.

I want to know why it behaves like that..

struct student{
int usn;
};
int main(){
char ch;
struct student *s;
s=(struct student *)malloc(sizeof(struct student));

I wanted to check whether the input is a character or not, if a character is given then the output suppose to be "ok", but the output is always "oppppssss", where is the problem here?

C :: Fgetc Assigning Input To Character

Apr 8, 2014

What I am doing is using fgetc to take a char input from the user, and then directly after that calling a function which will clear the buffer and remove the character. But for some odd reason all my inputs are being assigned before taking the char input by the user. Here is my code for the relative problem:

Code:
char playAgain; Code: playAgain = fgetc(stdin);
readRestOfLine(); Code: void readRestOfLine(void) {
int ch;
/* remove all characters from the buffer */
while(ch = getc(stdin), ch!='
' && ch!=EOF)
;
/* clear the error status of the input pointer */
clearerr(stdin);
}

And en example through terminal of the issue, with print statements debugging the value of play Again:

So in both instances here I have entered 'y', one returning it as ASCII 10 which is ' ' and ASCII 121 which is 'y'.

C :: Comparing Part Of Character Array With Scanned Input

Feb 25, 2013

I want to compare the part of the character array with the scanned input. I've initialized the character array (colourCompare).

What I want to do is, if the input colour matches up with one of the elements in the colourCompare array, it will then read the next value(I did not include "read the next value part"). If the input does not match up, then it goes back to the scanning part.

Code:

char colourCompare [12][6] = {"Black","Brown","Red","Orange","Yellow","Green","Blue","Violet","Gray","White","Gold","Silver"};
float resistanceCal() {

C++ :: Validating User Input - How To Declare Array Of Character

Apr 29, 2012

Question simple like that: Let user enter some words from keyboard, one word per line until a '.' (period) entered then print out result, for example:

Code:
Enter a word: word1
Enter a word: word2
Enter a word: .
You have entered 2 word(s):
word1
word2

Problem is I don't know how to declare the array of character at the beginning since I don't know neither how many word user may enter nor how many letter of each word. So I go ahead and declared like this: char word[20][50] but I know it is not best way.

Code:

int main () {
char word[20][50]; //array has maximum 20 words, each word maximum 50 character
int i=0, number_of_word;
do {
printf ("Enter a word: ");

C :: Write Text And Find Frequency Of 1 Chosen Character In It - Input Error Handling

Dec 20, 2014

I'm new in programming, and trying to write a code in C. The requirement is following - to write a text, and to find frequency of 1 chosen character in it. The main thing is that program should check user input (for example, I want to check if user entered "char" --> then correct, or if entered "int" --> not correct). But the program still doesn't check. So I have:

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(){
char c[1000], ch;
char i, count=0;
printf("Enter a text: ");
gets(c);

[Code] ....

Am I on my right way using if/else?
