I'm currently trying to create binary file will not be able to be read as texts and will contain metadata(more like image files).
But I've tried writing to .dat, .bin files in binary mode and all of them are displaying in ascii text..which I don't want.
I am writing a piece of code that requires me to display the last 1000 lines from a multiple text files (log files). FYI, I am running on Linux and using g++.
I have a log file from which - if it contains more than 1000 lines, I need to display the last 1000 lines. However, the log file could get rotated. So, in case where the current log file contains less than 1000 lines, I have to go to older log file and display the remaining. For e.g., if log got rotated and new log file contains 20 lines, I have to display the 980 lines from old log file + 20 from current log files.
What is the best way to do this? Even an outline algorithm will work.
My problem is that the setfill('0') doesn't affect the output; I want four columns of 64bit numbers in hex which I read in binary mode from a file.
Here is the problem:
fffffff2 f1040000 fff10000 780000
76000d 11740000 0 5f
5f40405f 50636853 796d5f40 30304055
66687669 68556867 76657655 776c7866
and the code to produce it:
cout << hex << setw(4) << setfill('0') ;
unsigned long test,inc,grp;
grp = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < size; i += 4){
test = buffer[i];

I want to make a program that opens a text file and checks the usernames listed in the text files to see if the names are registered on a site such as twitter. How easy would this be to make, what things would I need to know?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI wanted to write a program to convert a number into a more readable format. It's like, if the input enters the number as 2361263 the output should be like 2,361,263. I went about this problem like extraction the number first and then if the count was equal to multiple of three i'd print ',' instead of the number.
But initially when i wrote the code for extracting a single digit from the number
Code:
#include<stdio.h>
void main() {
unsigned long long num=pow(2,50);
int count=0;
while(num!=0) {
int last_digit;
[Code]....
I know that I'd lose the number when i finish printing it, but still I only end up printing the entire number in reverse order.
As in if the input is 1234 the output is 4,321 which is not what i want.
One way of overcoming this problem is to store the values in an array and then reading then back from the end. But i wanted to know if there is a better solution than this? To extract the digits from the number in the same order as it is in the number
I currently have a running program "game.cpp" that runs a game of tic tack toe. I want to split the working functions into header files so that game.cpp isn't so cluttered.

I'm supposed to read in a data file with fixed length records and fields, create a sorted index list in memory, and save that list to a file. Then I'm to write a second program that interactively (via the Linux command line) takes a key and the index file name, opens and loads the index file, searches for the given key using the index table, and opens and returns the correct data record.
The original file consists of a list of records with a key (int), a name (string of 8 characters max), a code (int) and a cost (double).
The RRN (relative record number) begins at 1, with the RRN at 0 representing a dummy record with only the size in the first entry.
Here is the data file I will be using.
8 blank 0 0.0
12345 Item06 45 14.2
12434 Item04 21 17.3
12382 Item09 62 41.37

The "File is Open" part will be replaced once I figure out what do do once the file is open, just used this message to verify that it was opening the file.
I'm attempting to split a large binary file into smaller manageable files for analysis. I've written most of the software but I'm stuck in a couple of places.
1. The binary file is split by looking at a couple of bytes to determine when to create a new file or continue appending to the current new file. The question is when I need to create a new file, how can I dynamically sign it a name? My intention is to rename each subfile by: "original_name" + new section id + ".log".
2. The start of each section is determined by a specific pattern (6 bytes of FF's). I'm running into an issue where the pattern check is checking for 5 bytes instead of 6 because the for..loop doesn't increment for one instance.
I've attached the code I have so far.
#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>
using namespace std;
int append_to_file(FILE *f,long sec_start, long sec_end)

I am creating a binary search program that lets the user input up to 10 integers and then the program displays the array and sorts it. When the user is prompted to select an integer, if the integer is in the array, the program responds with the array subscript part. I can get the loop to work once and maximum twice, but then it wont search for the array or say value not found even though the number in in the array. I tried making the values NULL but that only lets me go through it one more time.
Here is my code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
//Functions
void printArray(int);
void selection(int);
int binarySearch(int,int,int);

I am new to C programming, I have been given an assignment to create a simple calculator by splitting the program in 3 files. It should have 2 .c files and 1 .h... I went through the internet extensively and could only come up with this.
main.c:
Code:
//Calculator main.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include "Functions.h"
int main() {
float x = 0, y = 0;
int operation;
[Code]...
Functions.c
Code:
#include "Functions.h"
extern float x, y;
float addition (float a, float b) {
return a + b;

#ifndef FUNCTIONS_H_INCLUDED
#define FUNCTIONS_H_INCLUDED
float Sum(float a, float b);
float difference (float a, float b);
float remainder (float a, float b);
float product (float a, float b);
#endif
When I do a 'cl main.c' on the Developer Command window for VS2013, i get an error that reads :

I'm trying read a binary file. A binary files is continued with bytes(ascci characters). and the 1st position is the position 0(zero).
I'm trying read just some values from ICO file:
- the 3rd value is in 4th-1 position(number of icons); (See the table: [URL] .... )
- the with is the (numberoficons*16) + 4 (the 16 is the Entries structure size) position;
- the height is the (numberoficons*16) + 4 + 4 (the 16 is the Entries structure size) position.
now see the code:
int iconwidth;
int iconheight;
int iconcount;
FILE *iconfile = fopen(filename.c_str(), "rb");//open the file
fseek(iconfile,4-1,SEEK_SET); //put the file in position 6(the position starts from 0)
fread(&iconcount,sizeof(char),2,iconfile);//get 2 blocks with char size(2 bytes).. i'm getting the number of icons
[Code] ....
so what i'm doing wrong with block positions?
I am attempting to merge binary files. However, this is to no avail. The program keeps segfaulting. I want to merge the buffers the files are stored in and then write the new one to disk. Anyway, here is my code.

(I'm not particularly asking for full code, pseudo code would also be great). I had a great deal of my work done, unfortunately, the computer I was working on crashed, corrupting my files.
I would like to read in binary files, then write them to another file.
I write a code, what works perfectly, if I would like to just copy the file to another. But I want to make it a little other.
If I open a file in hex-editor I also can see the ASCII values. But I would like get the ONLY the hex values to the other file.
For example:
d5 57 4f ad 30 33 0b 4e 49 a7 05 18 c4 90 66 d8 45 ac 39 3e 7d f1 a8 02 80

I have a problem to read a large number of binary files, process them and store them under a new name. The program and routines go very well for 505 files. After reading 506 files, the program now refuses to read the next file. I have 16 Gb of memory and tried to close all other programs and restart the PC. it always stops after 506 files (512 files would be more understanding in a way...).
Here is my code. I have tried many things without success. This is only part of the loop that stops. The if test if (myfile.is_open() returns false by some reason. I can start the process again starting with the file that does not open and then it stops again after 506 files.
char * tfiBlock;
ifstream myfile (OrigFilename, ios::in|ios::binary|ios::ate);
if (myfile.is_open()) {
int lengde = myfile.tellg();
tfiBlock = new char [lengde];
//static char memblock [size];
[Code] .....
Clean up procedure:
delete[] tfiBlock;
Are there any limits to how many files that can be opened, or is it maybe someting to be set in the compiler?
I'm new with working with random binary files. I have a class with a char* pointer stored inside of it, I also have a constructor that takes in a string (of any size) from the user. I then simply store this string into the char *. Once the string is stored in the char *. I reinterpret the instance, and I store the information into the random binary file. Everything works.
Question: Random files must know the size of the object that is being stored inside of it, so why when I enter strings of different sizes into the file, it appears to still be working. for example this is an example of the code:
class info {
private:
char *phrase;
public:
info(string n ="unknown"){
phrase = new char[n.size()+1];
[Code] ....
My point is, lets just say for example the object ETC, was some long string, this would still work for me. My question is, I don't believe each object is the same size because I allocate memory for the char pointer in the constructor.
Should I not do this just to be safe, and just use a char array instead of a pointer? (Even tho I would have set a pre-defined size for the string) or is something happening in the back to prevent this from not working?

Im trying to make a c++ program for a school project, and i need to store the information into binary files, but I'm having some problems trying to store a class with string members, for example:
class whatever{
protected:
string name;
public:
(List of functions)
}
But if I do that, my code just dont work when I write and read a binary file, but if I change the string to char array, for example:
class whatever{
protected:
char name[20];
public:
(List of functions)
}
It works good, so I wanted to know if there's some way to store a class wiht strings in binary files, or what am I doing wrong?
I have written in a binary file using fstream an using sort value.
unsigned shortwidth=50,height=50;
file.write((char*)&width,sizeof(width));
file.write((char*)&height,sizeof(height));

#include <iostream>

I am trying to read enormous binary files (10-100GB) and parse their contents a bit at a time. As part of the process I need to get the size of the file in bytes. The simple solution
Code: fseek(file,0,SEEK_END);
size=ftell(file);
fails because the file size overflows the long int type returned by ftell. I need a long long int.
Is there a reasonably efficient way to do this? The good news is that it only needs to be done once. I suppose I could read it one character at a time until I hit the end and keep count, but that just seems inelegant...
