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
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...
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.
why I'm giving "Access violation reading location 0x336827B8" and also I was able to read my data but it's giving me weird stuff. I want to write the sorted grades and the average in a new disk file. so here's my code so far here's my code
#include "stdafx.h" #include <iostream> #include <fstream> #include <string> #include <iomanip> using namespace std; int avg(int sum, int size); void swap(int *, int *);
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?
I am working on a airport reservation program and i have run into a brick wall. i want to ask the user its name, gender, passport no, age, destination, and travel class and figure out the day and flight code of the flight which i have saved in a binary file. now every thing works fine except the code and the day.
The programs important section
the flight class Code: class flights { char code[9],location[21]; public: void display(); char *retloc() //to get the Location
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?
When i try to read it back from fstream again there are some symbols (binary obviously). How can i get my values back? I want to read those symbols and in a way to convert them to my old width and height values.
I am using dir object from dirent.h to read files of a folder. The code I am using in order to read all data is the following:
vector<string> directories;
DIR *pDIR; const char * c = path.c_str(); struct dirent *entry;
[Code]....
I am wandering when I am trying to read two times the files of the same folder, it will be stored with the same order or every time I ll read in folder it ll return different file order?
I'm trying to finish this project which is supposed to read two files, and merge them alphabetically. I've written this code, and it compiles. But it isn't actually doing anything??The console opens and closes immediately upon running.
Code: #include <iostream> #include <fstream> #include <cstdlib> #include <string> using namespace std; #define hisFamily "The Adopted.txt" //His family #define herFamily "The Originals.txt" //Her family #define ourFamily "The Big Picture.txt" //Our family
need to create a program for the following problem
1.Program takes messages as input at a rate “X” msg/sec, and outputs those messages at “Y” mgs/sec in a file.
2.The peak value of X can be 10msg/sec, and Y can be at max 5msg/sec. System should be designed in such a way that it can handle the peak input rate of 10msg/sec for not beyond 5 minutes.
3.Message contains following fields – unit id, timestamp, temperature.
4.Input data to be read from a file. Output data to be written to a file.
5.For testing design 3 types of profiles –
a.Profile 1 for 10 min – low rate, i.e. X = 4 msg/sec on an average throughout the period. b.Profile 2 for 10 min – Max rate, i.e. X = 10 msg/sec for 2 min; then a sleep of 2 min, then repeat the same pattern till complete period c.Profile 3 for 10 min - Max rate, i.e. X = 10 msg/sec for 5 min; then no traffic for next 5 min
write a code using vs studio 8 to read a diretory name as argument and then open the directory and read each file one at a time and find the match for a string passed as an nother argument in the lines of each file. When it matches create a file and write in that output file the file name whetre the match found, the line number and line which matched.
My vis does not have dirent.h. so please use another ways to read directory call witha system acll and then then extract the fienames in a file(use some primitive way to open the the directory)
I cant do this parts
(1) read a directory
(2) create a file with only file names
(3) read file names ans open the files one at a time till the end of the file reached
When reading a binary .img why is it when you read it by slurping in the file, then save it to a string and cout, you don't see the binary but random garbage?
Basically I am to create a program that will read two saved text files; one is [2x4] ~ (matrixA.txt) and another is [4x2] ~ (matrixB.txt). The program is supposed to read both text files, multiply them, and generate an output that will be saved as ~ (matrixC.txt).

I want to read a folder that contains large number of tif files. (say 1000 tif images) requirement is to read all files and store in a array/array pointer.
As long as position+length doesn't exceed the end of the file, all is well. However, if it does, weird things start to happen. In particular, the apparent length of the file (that is, the value of "read" after the function has finished) becomes dependent on "length"). I know that "position" is never past the end of the file.
int main () { FILE * pFile; long lSize; char * buffer; size_t result; pFile = fopen ( "myfile.bin" , "rb" );

How to open binary for read and write? Why the buffer is char * buffer? i mean in binary u cant read chars . How can it be? how the data is represented? just like txt file? What the buffer will contain how to print this buffer???
I'm trying to do file compression/decompression in C and I need to handle one bit at a time.
I currently try to do:
unsigned char byte = fgetc(fptr);
and later
byte >>= 1;
but the problem is that I have to use the first bit of the byte and then treat the next 8 bits as one byte. The byte usage keeps shifting over in this way. It's probably quite clear that I'm a bit lost.
Trying to write very simple code to read a 4 byte int from a file.
code:
int tester; FILE *fp; fp=fopen("/home/bdluser/skeleton.blx","rb"); fread(&tester,sizeof(int),1,fp); printf("tested 1 byte read should be 1: %i",tester);
I have tried editing the binary file....it outputs similar large numbers
