C/C++ :: Retrieving User Input With Getline?

Mar 7, 2015

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.

C++ :: Using Getline Multiple Times On One Line Of Input

Sep 15, 2014

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.

C++ :: Multiple Of CSV File Used As Input / Extracting Data To A Output File - Getline Function

Jun 4, 2013

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?

C# :: DLL Passing And Retrieving Data

Sep 18, 2013

I have a C# program going and want to be able to call the DLL and receive back the data requested through a pointer.Below is the DLL import within my C# code.

Code:

[DllImport("MyTest.dll")]
public static extern int ReadNetwork(Byte[] ROM_ID); Below is the code in the DLL Code: int _stdcall ReadNetwork(unsigned char* Array1)
{
ReadDevice(readBackArray);
for(i = 0; i < 20; i++)
{
Array1[i] = readBackArray[i];
}

[code]....

I've tried changing the return values in the DLL's ReadNetwork() function and that works ok, so I know I'm calling the DLL and it runs ok, but printing the result back is where I'm having the problem.

C++ :: Retrieving First Three Bits Of A Number

Apr 25, 2013

I am trying to retrieve the first three bits of a number. The code that I am using should work but it isn't giving me the correct result when trying certain numbers. Below is the code I am using:

unsigned short num1, num2 = 0;
unsigned short num = 65535// binary 111111111111111
num1 = num && 0x07;// gives me 1 but should give 7(111)
num2 = num >>3;//gives me 8191, which is correct

Why I am not getting the first three correct bits(111)?

C++ :: Retrieving Class Types From File Efficiently

Jun 30, 2014

Suppose your program has many concrete subtypes of Person, and each person will have their own file saved, with their type stored in that file. When reading the files to create the people again (of their proper types), what is the best method to maximize performance (and elegance by shortening the code)? Here is what I have so far.

First I used if statements, which is terrible, and now I've improved the performance logarithmically using std::map. I still suspect there is a better way, especially if there are going to be hundreds of different classes. If you want to test it, you can change the PATH constant to whatever path you want, or just leave it as an empty string, and the files will be created in the same directory as your cpp file. The part I'm trying to improve is pointed out in the comments.

struct Person {
std::string name;
Person (const std::string& newName) : name (newName) {}
virtual ~Person() = default;
};
struct Guy : Person {using Person::Person;};
struct Girl : Person {using Person::Person;};

C/C++ :: Storing And Retrieving Large Amount Of Data

Nov 28, 2012

I have to store large amount of data and retrieve the same data then write into file in C++. Currently I am using vector to store and retrieve. But vector is taking more time to store and retrieve the element. Is any other best data structure to store and retrieve large amount of data in unordered way?

Example code:

int I1 = 700,I2 = 32, I3 = 16;
//declare and resize the vector size
vector< vector < vector < vector<DOUBLE> > > > vPARAM; 
vPARAM.resize(I1, vector< vector < vector<DOUBLE> > >

C++ :: Second User Name Input Is Being Skipped

Jan 1, 2014

In this simple end-of-chapter problem, the ages of two people are to be compared and determine who's older. The problem I'm experiencing is that the second user name input is being skipped and going straight to the second users age.

So while running the program it looks something like:

What is user ones name?
<input name>
How old are they?
<input age>
What is user twos name?
How old are they?
<input age>
<if statement result>

Here's my code:

Code: #include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int user_one_age;
int user_two_age;
string user_one_name;
string user_two_name;

C# :: TexBox User Input To Hex Value

Sep 2, 2012

So I've got this form that a user puts in a numeric value into a text box. This value then has to be placed into a byte string of data so that it can be transmitted over as a packet. Bellow is what I have so far:

Code:
Byte[] OUTBuffer = new byte[65];//Allocate output memory buffer
Byte[] INBuffer = new byte[65]; //Allocate input memory buffer

if (setmSpeed == true)
{
OUTBuffer[0] = 0; //Not used, must be set to 0
OUTBuffer[1] = 0x85; //Command mode

[Code] ....

I've put in red the area where I'm having issues. I've tried different methods and have not been able to get this working yet. It only works if I speciffy the value manually as with OUTBuffer[1] = 0x85;, but I want byte 2 of OUTBuffer[] to be set with what I put in the text box.

C :: User Input With Forks

Apr 7, 2013

So im working with forks and creating 2 fork processes. One child and parent. What im trying to get the child to ask me for a value. Then the parent would start to figure out the value and keep trying. Once it figures it out its tells them you got it and simply stops the program. I cant seem to get the program to keep guessing and stop when the number is found which sends a sigint. Here's what i have so far.

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <stdbool.h>

int main() {
int j, i,pid;

C++ :: Alter User Input

Feb 6, 2013

I have this code here that counts the number of alphabetic letters the user's input,the number of characters total, the number of words and the number of "the" that was used. However now I need to alter the user's input to have two spaces after the end of each period, no spaces between a word or comma and each sentence has to have a capitalized letter and display them at the end. And I'm stuck on the altering part. I briefly started the 2 spaces after each period but it won't display anything.

#include <cstring>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main ()
