C++ :: Can't Compare Char Strings

Jun 13, 2013

I have two char* that have the same data in (hypothetically).

std::vector<char*> Buff;
Buff = Split(Line, '.');
char* A = "data", B;
B = Buff.at(0)

Where Split is a function that I made to split a string (Line in this case) into a char* vector, this string contains a line from a file. Line is char* too. The weird problem is when Buff data stored in its 0 position is given to B... because B is equal to A (hypothetically) but when this is compared to do certain functions they doesn't match!

Here an example:

std::vector<char*> Buff;
Buff = Split(Line, '.');
char* A = "map", B;
B = Buff.at(0) // Buff.at(0) should be "map" and is apparently "map"

[Code].....

NOTE: I didn't use switch to compare Cmd because I want it separately for easier debugging.

Is there something wrong with my codes?? or what happened here with those hex values before the string in my variables?

C++ :: Compare 2 Dates From Strings / Char Or Int

Mar 16, 2014

i have been trying to compare a date format from SYSTEMTIME and a date from a text file(string).But its not working. I tried to change both to string(using osstringstream),char* and int(using sscanf) to do the comparison but with no luck. its pretty simple all i want to do is get the current system date and compare it with the date from the text file. Below is my code:

char szcurrentDate[MAX_PATH] = "";
char szdate_time[MAX_PATH];
SYSTEMTIME st;
GetLocalTime (&st);
GetDateFormat(LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT,NULL,&st,"yyyy-M-d ",szcurrentDate,MAX_PATH); //current system date
//std::ostringstream mm;

[code].....

note : i tried displaying just szcurrentDate and szdate_time they show the date exactly the same. in string,char* or int formats.

C++ :: Compare Two Strings Of Numbers

Jan 4, 2014

I am trying to figure out how to go about comparing two strings of numbers. I have two files that both contain numbers 1-50, one file has multiple repeating numbers while the other one just has 1-50.

I want to compare the files and count how many of each number a occurred and make a chart with * next to the number. First I figured I would use the strings like an array and compare them using nested loops. Then I noticed I have single and double digit numbers. The numbers in the files are printed as:

1 44 5 34 4
2 22 7 55 4
...... etc

Compared too:
1
2
3
4
5
......
50

I thought about using string stream and converting the string to int but wouldn't it just be a huge number when set to the int variable? Then I thought about a array initialized with 1-50 and compared to the file but I still have the issue with single and double digit numbers.

My question is how can I just read one number at a time, either double or single digit?

C++ :: Rules To Compare Two Strings Object

Sep 1, 2014

In my book I have the following example : Code:

std::string str = "Hello";
std::string phrase = "Hello world";
std::string slang = "Hiya"; and i have these two rules to compare 2 strings object :

if two strings have different lenghts and if every character in the shorter string is equal to the corresponding character of the longer string, than the shorter string is less than the longer string.

if any characters at corresponding positions of two strings differ, then the result of the string comparison is the result of comparing the first character at wich the strings differ then my book says : if we apply the rules of the comparison we know that phrase is greater than str( ok i've understood this ) and that slang is greater than both slang and phrase ( why ?)

explain me rule number two ? in phrase and slang the characters differ and the first character that differ is not H so why my book says slang is bigger than phrase ?

Visual C++ :: Procedure To Compare 2 Strings With Specific Criteria?

Jul 10, 2013

Procedure to Compare 2 Strings with the following criteria

coding of the following function -

I have absolutely no clue where to start -

Given the following sets of numbers -

1154 1179 2154 2554 2484 2144 4515 1144 1517 4815 1481

Given the Index number of 1154

I want to search the numbers for the Index number of 1154

The search will return a True if I can find 3 or 4 same digits between the Index number and the 8 numbers

The search also have the following criteria -

meaning that -

1154 when compared to 1154 == true
1154 when compared to 1179 == false
1154 when compared to 2154 == true
1154 when compared to 2554 == false
1154 when compared to 2484 == false
1154 when compared to 2144 == false
1154 when compared to 4515 == true
1154 when compared to 1144 == true
1154 when compared to 1517 == true
1154 when compared to 4815 == true
1154 when compared to 1481 == true

the index number can also be of type - 1234, 1123, 1112, 1111

C++ :: How To Compare Char Pointer With A Range

Sep 19, 2013

I understand you can do

char* charpointer[2];
charpointer = "12";
if (charpointer[0] == '1'){
}

but how can we test for a range? 0-1? so I can compare it to '12'

I wouldn't want to do charpointer[0] == '1' && charpointer[1] == '2' though.

C++ :: Unable To Compare A String With A Char Pointer

Jan 28, 2013

Ok, I'm having a few problems with strings, mostly string functions saying they're not able to compare a string with a char pointer.

int main()
{
int counter = 0;
int x, y, z;

[Code].....

My goal is to take in a command and store it in a string. Different commands have different amounts of information I need. One command is "new flight <flightnumber> <seats available>". First, I try to understand which command is being asked, using the first character to decide. Once I can assume which command is being attempted, I try to separate the string into smaller strings (words) using strtok. I then compare the words that should be constant (new and flight), to make sure the command is syntactically correct (which I use strcmp for). Then I'll go on to create a new flight, which is a class that takes in a char * and integer (which is why I need to convert a char * to integer).

C++ :: Trimming Char Strings?

Jan 12, 2015

I have created a char string[100]. I know this array will be big enough for its purpose. The problem is that it often too big. When I print this string array I get the text plus a lot of gobbledygook at the end which I assume is the extra memory at end of string array. How would I approach trimming this using just C.

I suppose I could nest a for loop that adds to a new array that has a size determined by a counter(although this would give a warning being that a VAR is determining size of array) but I suppose there is a much simpler way to do this.

C/C++ :: Reading Strings To Char Array From Exe File

Feb 25, 2014

I am trying to read strings to an char array from an .exe file and then i would check some of the strings, but the problem is that the only thing that is read from the file is the first string (MZ) and an 'square' that is some incorrect character. I am using fread to read from the file. Here is my code:

FILE * pFile;
long lSize;
char * buffer;
size_t result;
pFile = fopen("my_file.exe", "rb");
if( pFile == NULL) exit(1);
fseek(pFile,0, SEEK_END);

C++ :: Enter Multiple Strings Into Char Array

Feb 16, 2014

I am having issues getting this working. This is a simple program that is designed to ask a user if he would like to enter a string, if yes, the user is prompted to enter it and its stored in a char array. User is then asked if he wants to enter another string... Once user responds no, the program outputs the strings and the program ends...

Note: I'm using in.getline(myarray[i], MAX, ' '), to avoid white space problems if user enters a space. Lastly I would like the option of letting user enter any number of strings, but how would you do this when declaring the 2 dimensional char array?

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
const int MAX = 81; //max char is sting is 80
int main(){
string y_n;
bool go = true;

I am programming a translator, and I have it so that it detects words with spaces both in front of and behind them, so I did "string.append(space);" where space equals " ". That added a space to the end, but I still need a space added to the front.

I have a problem who must print the sentences who have lenght more than 20 characters. I dont know why, but it prints just the first words. Look what i made.

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>  
int main()

For instance :

Give the number of sentences : 3

First sentence : I like the website bytes.com
Second sentence : I like more the website bytes.com
Third sentence : bytes.com

After I compile the program it should print the first two sentences.

C++ :: Comparing Char Array To Char Always Returns True

Dec 23, 2014

I've made a code to check whether or not a save file has been created correctly, but for some reason it always returns this line: readdata[qa]=='1' as true. in which qa is the counter I use in a for loop and readdata is a character array consisting of 50 characters that are either 0, 1 or 2.

this is the entire code:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

[Code]....

at first is also went wrong at line 22 and also returned that as true, but then I added brackets and it worked.

C++ :: Concatenate Two Char Arrays Into Single Char Array?

Sep 29, 2014

I am trying to concatenate two words from a file together. ex: "joe" "bob" into "joe bob". I have provided my function(s) below. I am somehow obtaining the terminal readout below. I have initialized my memory (I have to use dynamic, dont suggest fixing that). I have set up my char arrays (I HAVE TO USE CHAR ARRAYS (c-style string) DONT SUGGEST STRINGS) I know this is a weird way to do this, but it is academic. I am currently stuck. My file will read in to my tempfName and templName and will concatenate correctly into my tempName, but I am unable to correctly get into my (*playerPtr).name.

/* this is my terminal readout
joe bob
<- nothing is put into (*playerPtr).name, why not?
joe bob joe bob
seg fault*/
/****************************************************************/
//This is here to show my struct/playerInit

C++ :: How To Convert Char To Const Char

Jun 3, 2013

I have a file which contains a year and the name of an associated file to be read. I need to extract the data in the txt file and perform some calculations.

( year data file)
2004 2004data.txt
2005 2005data.txt
2006 2006data.txt

Here is what I do. I first declare "char yeardata" and then pass "2004data.txt" to it. Then I call yeardata in ifstream to extract the data inside the file "2004data.txt". The problem is that char yeardata is not constant so I cannot pass the file to it. It doesn't work if I change "char yeardata" to "const char yeardata".

Code:
int oldnewcomp_temp(char* lcfile) {
using namespace std;

int year;
char yeardata;

C :: Can't Compare 8 Bit Value With 16 Bit Value

Jun 24, 2014

Apart from compiling i am running a software to test for compliance with standards. I always get the following warnings.Implicit binary conversion from one (type) to (type). The type in general can be unsinged int, long etc. There are several cases in which this happens. Like in an if statements, i made sure that both the types are of the same type by type casting.Is it true that i cannot compare an 8 bit value with 16 bit value? I cannot compare a signed value with an unsigned value?what are the exact rules for this?

In an assignment operator i cannot assign a bigger value to the smaller value. Am i correct?Suppose if i multiply a varaible with constant then the constant should be type casted to the same value as the variable?Also if i am shifting a variable say test1 << 1. Then should 1 also need to be typecasted. How to handle situations if the variable is a complex structure or union? i am very much cofused not able to follow definite rules and mostly trying trial and error and i dont want to do that way.
