C# :: Method Of Mapping Text File Dictionary To Class Fields

Jan 21, 2014

So I'm rewriting an old project of mine, and I'm trying to determine if there's truly any better way to map the data taken from a text file "dictionary" into the correct class fields for further processing. For example:

FNAME=MY_FIRST_NAME
ADDR=123 SOMEWHERE LN, NOWHERESVILLE, TX 01234
LNAME=MY_LAST_NAME
TOTCALLS=47

In each of these, I'd need the "value" (MY_FIRST_NAME, MY_LAST_NAME, etc) from the "keys" (FNAME, LNAME, etc) to be mapped to the proper class fields. Say, for example, I had this:

Class DataProcessing {
public string Address;
public string FirstName;
public string LastName;
public int TotalCalls;
...
}

I would need DataProcessing.Address to be set to the value in the ADDR key/value pair. The same would be true for each other field. The problem is that based on the text file's source (which isn't under my control, and won't be changed anytime soon), the key/value pairs are not always in the same place...so a second file could have the data as such:

TOTCALLS=47
ADDR=123 SOMEWHERE LN, NOWHERESVILLE, TX 01234
LNAME=DARKPOETCC'S LAST NAME
FNAME=DARKPOETCC'S FIRST NAME

Any smarter way to do this than looping through each line that was read in from the file, and determining where it belongs, such as (pseudo code follows):

IF FieldName == "TOTCALLS" THEN
//Assign to TotalCalls field
ELSEIF FieldName == "ADDR" THEN
//Assign to Address field
ELSEIF FieldName == (You get the picture...)
//Do thing N_Field

C++ :: Pass Method Of Derived Class As Parameter To Another Method In Base Class?

Feb 2, 2015

I have a question similar to the one here: [URL] .....

The main difference is I would like to pass a method of derived class as a parameter to some other method in its template base class.

template <typename BaseType>
class Base {
public:
typedef void (Base::*Callback)(int A);

[Code] .....

The above is an example which does not compile. My compiler complains that the two BaseMethod() calls in DerivedMethod() are invalid uses of non-static member function.

Is this not possible to do, or is my syntax simply wrong? All I want is to be able to pass as an an argument to a method in the base class from the derived class some callback as a variable for the base class to invoke later.

C++ :: How To Call Class Method / Function From HXX File In CPP File

Feb 11, 2014

How do I call a class method which is defined in a .hxx file separately to a .cpp file? Is it any different from how we normally do it (using the scope resolution operator after the class name and then the method name with parameters) ?

C++ :: Autocomplete From Dictionary File

Mar 15, 2013

Anyway, I am working on a project and have compiled a dictionary text file of english language words. I want to use this dictionary for an autocomplete feature that I would like to add to the program.

I am having trouble finding anything about either
1) an autocomplete library I can #include into my code.
2) how to write my own.

I need it to be in either C or c#. If i can get the algorithm in C then I can just convert it to c#

C++ :: Code Reading From Online Dictionary Rather Than Offline Txt File?

Aug 14, 2014

I have a script that checks and compares two lists from an offline dictionary. Dictionary.txt which has a lot of words in it. input.txt will compare to dictionary.txt and print out anything that matches in CMD.

However, instead of using an offline dictionary is there anyway to make a code check an online dictionary? If so, would this process be slow or fast?

C++ :: Reading Configuration INI File To Read Custom Defined Fields

Jun 12, 2013

I’m developing an application where I have some defines, like:

#define PatientName “(0x0010, 0x0010)”
#define PatientId “(0x0010, 0x0020)”
#define Modality “(0x0010, 0x0030)”

And a few more (up to 3000). These defines are used to read certain fields from a DICOM image, that give information about that image (Patient Name, etc…). However I don’t wish to read all these fields. Instead I’m trying to load an .ini configuration which will configure which fields to read. For example:

[PROPERTIES]
# Fields to read
fields=PatienId,Modality

This would only retrieve the Patient Name and a Modality.

The problem is, the values I retrieve from the .ini file (reading and parsing the file with std::fstream) come as a string. How could I retrieve, for example, the defined value from PatientId, i.e. “(0x0010, 0x0020)”? Something like std::cout << # << "PatientId"; won't work.

C++ :: Spell Checker - Check If Inputted Word Is In Dictionary File On Computer

Jul 31, 2013

Over the last few days, I've been trying to implement a spell checker in c++ that checks if the inputted word is in the dictionary file on my computer. However, as I'm nearing completion of the project, I keep running into more and more errors, some of which I do not understand. My program is complete, albeit, with some minor bad practices (I hard coded a few things just to get the program up and running.For some reason, everything works well until I output spelling suggestions. I type in "mses" (attempting to spell mess) and it returns some strange characters. It does definitely recognize that there are two permutations that match words in the dictionary (however they are both mess due to the algorithm implemented), and I don't understand why? I will work on removing the duplicates after.

// Spell Checker.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.//

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>

C++ :: Class Instances To Text File

Mar 29, 2015

Code:
#include<iostream>
#include<conio.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<ostream>
#include<fstream>
#include<iomanip>
using namespace std;
class MathProblem {

[Code] ...

So my program is quite simple, have the user answer the answer to a question, and then compare with the correct answer. I needed to implement an inheritance of MathProblem in my second class aswell.

The program runs as I intend but I wish to have the data forwarded to a text file. After that I must read back to the command prompt the text file contents. It's fairly easy for simple statements but I don't understand how to forward all my data from my classes.

C/C++ :: How To Structure And Write A Class For Text File Streams

Apr 20, 2014

I need to make a program which reads multiple lines from a text file and stores that information in a vector of structs(the vector class template also needs to be custom made).

One of my requirements is to have a class dedicated for I/O for the text file. At the moment I can't seem to get a way to input the data from a file into a vector from an InputOutput class. This is my code:

InputOutput.h

#include <ostream>
#include <fstream>
#include "Share.h"
#include <string>
#include "Vector.h"
class InputOutput {

[Code] ....

This is the menu selection function in the menu.cpp where i figured i would call the Input file and store it from case 1. I think I'm doing it wrong though. Is there a better way of doing this because at the moment i am getting some errors such as error LNK2019.

void Menu::UserMenuSelection() {
Vector<Share> shares;
std::ifstream infile;
switch (menuOption) {

C/C++ :: Create Class Instances From Text File Stream

Nov 10, 2014

I am trying to do some exercises but am struggling at the moment. The first task was to create a class (Planet), then allow the user to edit their entry or view it.

The second one is to create class instances from a text file. The file contains a new planet on each line in the form: 'id x y z' where x/y/z are its coordinates. As the file can have more then one lines, it has to dynamically create an undefined amount of class instances.

To do this I used 'new' and it works ok - it prints each one out to the screen as you go so you can see it working. However... I'm trying to get into good habits here and am encapsulating the class which is where I am getting stuck. I can read from the class but cannot put the values from the file into the class.. ..using the member functions I have created anyway.

My code so far is:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
class Planet {
private:
int id=0;
float x_coord=0.0, y_coord=0.0, z_coord=0.0;
public:
int GetID(){return id;}

[code]....

If I change the SetID etc to just p->id, p->x_coord etc it works fine. But I'd rather find a way to do it that keeps the encapsulation. Using p->z_coord etc requires that you change the class variables from private to public.

The question I have been given is this:

Define and implement a function, generate planet, that takes a stream argument that has already been connected to a file (i.e. the argument is istream& fin). The function must create a new instance of planet using new and read its details from the next line in the file.Each line of the file is in the format id x y z.The function must return the newly created planet.

Also, how would you go about 'viewing' one specific class instance once they've been created? So say the file had 5 lines, line three was '4 6 2 6'. How would I go about viewing that planet afterwards? I don't think thats required but... I'm just wondering Although I'm also wondering, are we actually creating a new class instance for each line here? Or just destroying the previous one?

C++ :: Invoking Method Of Class With Template

Aug 1, 2014

Code:
bool CObject<class T>::Create(LPDIRECT3DDEVICE9 pDevice, T *pMesh, float fAnimSpeed) {
if(pMesh == NULL)
return false;
m_pDevice = pDevice;
m_pMesh = pMesh;
if(m_pMesh->GetAnimController() != NULL) {
DWORD dwNumAnimSet = m_pMesh->GetAnimController()->GetMaxNumAnimationSets();

In here, T can be from the class CMesh * or CSkinnedMesh *, both have signature of GetAnimController

This maybe a flaw in my design... But I want Create to accept any kinds of meshes.

Should I create an interface or abstract class above all of those?

I have added an IMesh class that every derived classes has to have the needed interface.

But since then, I have another question, I feel that it is very cumbersome to include a template argument in every class/prototype that is associated with CObject

Say
bool CreatePlanesFromObject(CObject *pObject, D3DXPLANE *pPlanes);
Requires me to do this
template<class T> bool CreatePlanesFromObject(CObject<T>* pObject, D3DXPLANE* pPlanes);

Any ways I can omit the template argument, because it doesn't make sense to know the Mesh type in other classes...

C++ :: Cannot Define Method Of Inner Nested Class If It Is Private

Jan 16, 2013

it seems that I cannot define a method of an inner nested class if it is a private class. for example:

class outter {
class nested {
void foo ( void ) {} // okay - but is this inline?
} void inner::foo( void ) {} // not okay - cannot define inside another class
} void outter::inner::foo( void ) {} // not okay - 'nested' class is private!

what I want to know is, is there another way to define an inner class's method? and if not, is it eternally doomed to be inline because it has to be declared inside it's own class declaration?

C++ :: Compiler Will Not Allow To Call A Public Method In Another Class

Feb 23, 2013

I have read the book over and over and I thought I understand "CLASS". But when I applied it and write the code the compiler tells me that there is a compiling error.

1. I have this method addProduct(Product* pProduct) in a Class called ProductRack, the code is in ProductRack.cpp file. The declaration of the Class methods and private variables are in ProductRack.h header file.

2. But when I call a method in the DeliveryCHute Class from the ProductRack Class I get a compiler errors which are these:

A.IntelliSense: a nonstatic member reference must be relative to a specific object
B.error C2352: 'Project1::DeliveryChute::insertProduct' : illegal call of non-static member function

And this is causing the error:

if (Project1::DeliveryChute::insertProduct(pProduct) == false)

//THIS IS JUST ONE METHOD INSIDE ProductRack.cpp
bool
Project1::ProductRack::addProduct(Product* pProduct) {
// Todo : Implementing
if (Project1::DeliveryChute::insertProduct(pProduct) == false)
return true;

C++ :: Calculate Bond Price Given A Certain YTM Using Class Method

Feb 22, 2015

I have been trying to calculate the bond price given a certain YTM using class method. Since the YTM and bond price are linked with each other(there is another question asking us to calculate the YTM with a given price),we put price and YTM in "private" and others variables in"public". Actually, this is the format given in my assignment.

I used "getvalue" to get the value of YTM, and used YTM in the formula of bond price calculation. However, the output of the price is infinite, while the output of price is right if I used a specific value of YTM(such as 0.05) in the formula. It means that I didn't successfully get right value of YTM.

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;
class bond{
public:
bond(){};
