C++ :: Clearing Text Off Of The Command Prompt Screen
Mar 5, 2013
I am having a problem with my c++ code. I am attempting to clear the text off of the command prompt screen in a text based game program. I put a restart option using a goto in my program. How would I be able to clear all previously displayed text.
I am facing a problem in C++,I want to execute a command in Command prompt from a specific path.I am able o select a path and execute cmd.exe using the function ShellExecute but the problem is after selecting the path I am not able to execute the command, the command is appearing on another command prompt.
my C++ console application should be like a command prompt. There are "command lines" to execute in the command prompt.Here are my main prompts for spotlight:
Encode - New data entry View - Read data from text file Search - Find record from text file Update - Save changes per text line from the existing text file Delete - Delete lines from the text file
Now, I manage to do the tasks for Encode, View, and Search..But unfortunately, not in Update..I've been working this for a week already..
#include "stdafx.h" #include "iostream" #include "string" #include "fstream" using namespace std; //to omit the std }
I am looking to make a program for C++ that has a GUI other than command prompt. The program I am trying to create will ask certain questions and display the results at the end after all questions are asked and have 2 copies of the results one over the other that can be printed as a receipt. Basically I am wondering can I do this using C++. Also I want another GUI other than command prompt as well. Something close to what windows uses if possible.
Im writing program for a rail fence cipher that should run from the command prompt and take in two .txt files, one containing the key for how many rails there should be (between 1 and 25) and the other containing the message to be encrypted. Both of those txt files should be entered from the command prompt, taken in with the program's arguments, not asking the user for input I think I have the logistics of how to get the program to encrypt it worked out, but every time I try to run the program it keeps on crashing.
The program should run when I enter this:./railcipher samplekey.txt samplemessage.txt
I'm pretty sure my issue lies within my first few lines of code, with the main(), or with the FILE*, but I dont know what I would need to change it to for it to work properly.
Code: #include<stdio.h> #include<string.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main(int argc, char **argv[])
i want to know how to copy data from already written text on console?
i am actually making a program that reads texts already printed over console so i want to capture that data again but i must not have a copy version of every thing behind the scenes i.e. in the background. I need to know how to capture data or amount of some data from console output? for example:
[console started]

[/console ended]
Now i have no copy of any data printed on console/command prompt or whatever you say it. My question is how can i copy following strings from console?

Moreover in case you need about my IDE, i am using : Windows 7 Ultimate Service Pack 1. Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate. Architecture 64bit.
If I compile code which uses cin using the command prompt, then run the compiled program a new window opens when it reaches the cin line of code, for the input. If there is no cin used then all printing happens in the original window. Is there a way to stop this behavior of the opening of a new window?
I have created a MFC dialog based application. Now I want to implement such a functionailty that I will be closing my application through command prompt. And while closing of my application the ExitInstance() method of my application should get called. What is the command which I should put in the command prompt to close my application in such a way.
Code: cout << "Put in the names of people, press q to exit" << ' '; while((cin >> people_inp) && (people_inp != "q")){ Person *p = newPerson(people_inp);
[Code] ....
The problem of this code is when you put in the names(via cin) and press enter command prompt will disappear. What should I do so that Command prompt will not disappear after I input some names? I mean it disappears without you pressing a key.
How can I send information and receive from external command prompt from my program??. I want to run an external command prompt, a code that's is not mine, to send information to this command prompt, then make my program hit enter at the command prompt and then receive back information from the command prompt.
I am making an application that processes multiple files (typically > 500) through a command prompt call. The way I start the command prompt app is by looping using a call to CreateProcess for each file that is to be processed. It works fine, except that I somehow loose 'connection' to my app so that
1: Windows says that the app. is 'Not Responding' 2: The Cprogress bar in my app is not updated before all files have been processed, even though there is a CreateProcess call and a Cprogress.StepIt() from the app for each file that needs processing.
I somehow suspect that the CPU gets swamped... I do not want that Windows starts to say that my app is 'not responding' and I want my Cprogress dialog bar to update according to the number of files that are progressed through.
I wonder if multithreading is the OK way to go instead of just kicking of series of CreateProcess calls? Maybe my CreateProcess is not ending correctly? It seems as if my app is 'not regaining control' before very late. The app never crashes though.
My CreateProcess code is listed below, maybe there can be a problem with it, or maybe I should do things in a different way? My app basicaly works as it never crashes, but with above mentioned problems it is NOT a pro solution...
void CMultiFilerDlg::ProcessFile(CString pdfFile) { int i=0; DWORD ProcID; // Open file in text mode: STARTUPINFO si; PROCESS_INFORMATION pi; char cmdArgs[2052];
I am trying to make a basic Snake game using the command window and screen refreshes. So far I have a board, snake, food, and no walls. Basically I have it so the snake moves like the traditional snake in the game, when it eats the food once it grows. However when it eats the food a second time the game crashes. I think I have narrowed the issue down to the grow array that I have (below) but I am not sure if the issue could be a result of something else.
Grow Array
cord growArray (cord *p_values, int *size) { *size = *size + 1; cord *p_new_values = new cord[ *size ];
I have screen scrolling working but i want to have text scroll with the screen. because at the moment my player moves and the screen scrolls but the text doesn't.
I am working on a wage application with four options which are as follows:
Subtracts an amount from the shop bank account (The account is text file "shop"). You do not need to add the same amount to another account but you should record the transaction with a timestamp in a separate file. The application should prevent the account balance from becoming overdrawn.
List the five most recent transactions to the screen. If there haven’t yet been five transactions then list all of them.
Print the account name, number and current balance to the screen.
Exit the program.
I have completed 1,3 and 4 but I am completely stumped as to how to go about number 2.
I have had experience in programming from python (slightly related, html/css) and the computercraft from minecraff (basic i think it is).
My question is mainly about the C and past experience with the computercraft.
1. Is it possible to split the command console into 2 parts (a visual area and a text area) 2. Is it possible to use any form of pixel art or custom characters within any command console using C.
I have a text file where in each line is 3 words and 2 int type numbers. I'm doing search by word and I want to print out to the screen the whole line where that word was found (the words is repeated in some lines). My search looks like this:
Code: #include<iostream> #include<string> #include<fstream> #include<stdlib.h> #include <vector> using namespace std; int main(){ vector <string> words; string str, paieska;
