C++ :: How To Read Dat File

Jan 21, 2014

I'm working on a program that reads from a .dat file that has names and numbers associated with the name. What the big picture it will be able to take those names and numbers find the avg of certain peoples scores and display these numbers or names who have the highest etc.

So to keep this short in my main I have it call the class and pass "Even.dat" as a char * fname my questions is how do I go about reading this .dat file? I know sorting it will use a sort algorithm which I will be using a bubble sort. But I haven't worked with ofstream and ifstream very much so some tips would be great! Here's an example of what the .dat file contains

David 42
Rebecca 83
Jonathan 79
Matthew 77
Rose 7
Melanie 75
int main() {
StudentStat StatEven("Even.dat");

C :: Read Contents Of A File Using Low I/O Read Statements

May 15, 2013

I want to read the contents of a file block (512 bytes) by block using low I/O read statements. Each record is 64 bytes long and has a pre-defined structure. The first 4 bytes are an unsigned integer; the next 20 bytes are ascii text, etc.

I have a buffer which I can access with buf[0] to buf[63] to read the first record and then buf[64] to buf[127] for the second, etc. However, I was wondering how to map a record so that I can refer to an integer as an integer and a float as float, etc. I can't create a struct and move the 64 bytes to it, as I will have alllignment/padding problems.

What is the standard way to deal with records in C?

C :: Create File To Write Text And Read Back The File Content

Mar 15, 2013

The Objective Of This Program Is To Create A File To Write Text And Read Back The File Content. To Do That I Have Made Two Function writeFile() To Write And readFile() To Read.The readFile() function works just fine but writeFile() doesn't.

How writeFile() function Works? when writeFile() function Execute It Takes Characters User Type And When Hit Enter(ASC|| 10) It Ask "More?(Y/N)" That Means What User Want? Want To Go Next Line Or End Input?

If "Y" Than Inputs Are Taken From Next Line Else Input Ends.

But The Problem Is When Program Encounters ch==10 It Shows "More?(Y/N)" And Takes Input In cmd variable.If cmd=='Y' I Mean More From Next Line Than It Should Execute Scanf Again To Take ch I Mean User Input.But Its Not!!! Its Always Showing "More?(Y/N)" Again And Again Like A Loop.

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
void writeFile(void);
void readFile(void);
int main(){

C :: Writing A Simple File / Text Parser To Read A Config File

Feb 6, 2014

I am writing a simple file/text parser to read a config file for some code I am working on. It's dead simple and not particularly smart but it should get the job done. The code reads a config file:

Code:

readlength=2500000
start=0
finish=25000000
cutoff=20000
samplingfreq=250000
poles=10
filterpadding=500
}

[code]....

Here is where it gets wierd. You'll notice that there is an unused variable (filepath) in the config struct. This variable is not referenced or used anywhere in the code, ever. Yet if I comment out the declaration of char filepath[1024], the code segfaults partway through the read_config() function.

My best guess is that there is a buffer overflow elsewhere and it just so happens that the memory allocated for filepath happened to be there to catch it up until now, but I can't work out where it might be happening. With the declaration commented out, the read_config() function gets as far as reading the "padding" variable before it crashes. Yet when the declaration is there, then all the variabled are read correctly and everything seems to work.

C++ :: Read From A Txt File And Then Write A New Text File With Sorted Line

Jun 11, 2014

I have a .txt file which I want to read from and then write a new text file, this time with sorted lines. It is easy to sort one value, but what about sorting entire lines based on one value?

I want to sort the lines based on the FIRST value.

Example text file contents:

values;data
5.01 100
2.9 342
2.69 43534
10.1 43
6.8 45324

Output: Text file containing

2.69 43534
2.9 342
5.01 100
6.8 45324
10.1 43

It's easy to do this if there was only 1 number on each line, but I do I sort all the lines based on the first number in each line?

C/C++ :: Read From File And Print Output To File?

Apr 20, 2014

I know this is how you read from a file. I also want to print my output to the same name of the file plus ".txt". So if my file is called "text" I want to print it to a file called "text.txt".

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdbool.h>

[Code]....

Would it be something like this? Is it better to use "a" or "w" in the fopen? I want to write to it several times.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdbool.h>

C :: Read And Print To File?

Jul 15, 2013

Ok, I think I got the main idea of the I/O chapter. Though I think I might be oversimplifying the program because I am getting an interesting error.

Goal here is to read numbers from a file and print the numbers with totals for two of the columns and a calculated average for of the totals.

NOTE: The tables for the info from file look a lot better on my end. [QUOTE] seems to mess it up a bit from copying and pasting.

Info from problem:

C :: How To Read Inputs From File

Dec 7, 2014

I have learnt recently how to use fgetc, fputc, fputs, fgets but still I am not able to figure out how to read values from a file like for example:

12 14 1928 32993932
17 98
166 109 201

These are separate integers & i want to read them and then manipulate these individual integers like going for 2*I1, 4*I2 and so on where I1 and I2 are 12 & 14.

C :: How To Read End Of The Line In TXT Or DAT File

Nov 19, 2013

How do i read the end of the line in a txt or dat file? I treid using fscanf in a while loop like this

Code:

while(fscanf(pfile,"%c") != EOF && fscanf(pfile,"%c") != '') {
char c = ' ';
fscanf(pfile,"%c",&c);
str += c;
}

The reason why its important to stop after each line is that i need the program to read the data from each line separately.
