C++ :: OfStream In Vector Failing To Open File
Feb 20, 2015
I'm trying to move a dictionary into a group of bite-sized files based off of the length of the strings in each file (I'm ignoring strings of length 1 for obvious reasons). Since I don't know what the longest word is (and I'm not going to look for it), and I don't want redundant files, I decided to use a vector of output file streams that I would put all the words into, but I can't get the file to open.
I took a look at it and found the failbit is 1, but the badbit is 0, so apparently it's a logic error on opening the stream [URL] .... I looked online and decided to try using pointers, but that didn't work either, so now I'm asking what the problem might be, because I can't think of any reason why it isn't working.
void createDictionary() {
//declare variables
string dictionaryName;//name of dictionary file
ifstream dictionaryIn;//file of original dictionary
vector<shared_ptr<ofstream>> dictionaryOut;//files where dictionary will be put based off of word length
string word;//input from the dictionary file
vector<int> lengths;//vector containing available lengths and their locations
unsigned long long counter = 0;
[Code] ....

I have a cpp app that reads in a number of files and writes revised output. The app doesn't seem to be able to open a file with a ' in the file name, such as,
N,N'-dimethylethylenediamine.mol
This is the function that opens the file :
Code:
// opens mol file, reads in rows to string vector and returns vector
vector<string> get_mol_file(string& filePath) {
vector<string> mol_file;
string new_mol_line;
// create an input stream and open the mol file
ifstream read_mol_input;
read_mol_input.open( filePath.c_str() );
[Code] ....
The path to the file is passed as a cpp string and the c version is used to open the file. Do I need to handle this as a special case? It is possible that there could be " as well, parenthesis, etc.

I am writing an eVoting program the addTally function adds 1 to the Candidate's voting tally when called and prints it back to the file from where it took the input replacing the old text. Now, Why I am getting error when running this program. Whenever i comment out the output file in addTally Function including where its used, it works.
Vote Function
void Vote(vector<int> &id_list, ofstream &voter_list) {
int ID;
bool valid_id;
char choice;
cout << " **** Voting Menu ****
[code]....
Function Adds one to the tally
void addTally(char choice) {
ifstream inCandidate("Candidates.txt");
ofstream outCandidate("Candidates.txt");
string Data_Line;
vector <string> Candidates;
string C_name[5];
int Tally[5];
[code]....

so this is part of a larger project but here is a test file that I haven't been able to get running. I don't understand why the minute I put an ofstream object as an instance variable the program flips out.
#include <iostream>
#include "FileNotFoundException.h"
int main() {
using namespace std;
try {
std::cout << "This is a test.";
throw FileNotFoundException("Testing...");

I'm having a little problem with std:fstream - in my program, the user selects the location of a file which I want to remember. So, I have something like this:
Code: std::string fileLocation;
//Code here creates an 'open file' dialog box which lets the user choose which file to open.
//The string 'fileLocation' now contains the path to the chosen file.
std::ofstream prefs("prefs.txt");
if (prefs.is_open())
{
prefs << fileLocation;
prefs.close();
}
This works fine if the file chosen is in the same directory as the program, however, if they try to choose a directory outside of where the program is kept, it saves the text file into that directory instead of the same one as the program. So, it looks like outputting a directory into an ofstream actually changes the location to which the file is saved.
Is there a way to save the file directory to a text file using ofstream and still have the text file save in the same directory as the program?

I have to merge two sorted files. Algotrithm that i'm using is below, but it reads not all the numbers in the files, and stops, even the files contain the same number of elements. What is wrong, I can't understand.
ifstream f1("E:desc1.txt");
ifstream f2("E:desc2.txt");
ofstream f("E:desc.txt");
cout <<endl<< "Nuerele sortate: " <<endl;
int n1, n2;
f1 >> n1;
f2 >> n2;
[code]...
desc1.txt is:
99 97 95 93 91 89
and desc2.txt is:
100 98 96 94 92 90
and I'm getting this:
100 99 98 97 96 95 94 93 92

I have a code in which I am passing string "5368709120" to function strtoull() and it should had returned me number 5368709120 but instead it returns me 1073741824 which is incorrect.
What may be the possible cause of this and how to rectify it?
Code:
typedef unsigned long long
ULL_Type;
char *quotaStr = "5368709120";
ULL_Type quota;
quota = strtoull(quotaStr, NULL, 10);

All the undos and redos were working fine until the pointer data members came into the picture. The problem is that the values pointed to changed, but the pointers themselves did not. So restoring gives the same pointers but they still point to the new values. I think the solution is that the classes that are the pointer data members themselves need their own Mementos (which would be a lot of work because there are many data member pointers in my program). Is that the only approach?
Here is a sample code to show what I'm talking about. You can compile and run the program to see the problem it has restoring values of pointer data members:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <memory>
#include <vector>
#include <list>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>
class FoodHistory {

I have a C++ code that reads the database password from the registry and decrypts it using CryptUnprotectData. We have to deploy this application on a Windows 7 machine.
When I compile my code on Windows XP and run it on the test Windows 7 machine, it works absolutely fine. When I compile the same code on my laptop having Windows 7 and run it on the test Windows 7 machine, CryptUnprotectData fails with GetLastError() return '87'. If I run this application on my own laptop with Windows 7 on it, it again works fine probably because my laptop has a lot of things installed including Visual Studio and all the service packs etc.
I believe I have missed out installing some dependency on the test Windows 7 machine but I am unable to figure out what is that. What is it that's making the Windows XP compiled code running fine on the test machine and not the code that's compiled on Windows 7.
Here is the call to CryptUnprotectData in the code:
if (CryptUnprotectData(
&cipherText,
NULL,
NULL, // Optional entropy
NULL, // Reserved
NULL, // Optional PromptStruct
CRYPTPROTECT_UI_FORBIDDEN,
&plainText))

I am trying to use ofstream to write in a txt file in a function called recurrently. for a simplified example:
void func_write(double x) {
ofstream myfile;
myfile << "the result = " << x << endl;
} int main() {
ofstream myfile;
[Code] .....
To this stage, it does not work, because the myfile in func_write cannot write in the txt file opened in main function. I don't want to open, append and close the txt file each time the function is called, that will take more time to execute all (imagine with 500 calls).

The following code writes to a file on either local disk to a remote disk (commented out code) on Windows 7 platform.
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
int main () {
ofstream outfile;
[Code].....
The documentation does not specify what is a valid filename (path and filename). For example, will the "\server emp" path work on all operating systems to access a samba share? Does the constructor accept forward and backward slashes as folder separator on all operating systems?

I am supposed to implement the member functions of class Person.
class Person {
public:
Person();
Person(string pname, int page);
void get_name() const;
void get_age() const;
[Code] ....
The code I wrote is below. Where I am struggling is the program does not allow me to input age. Therefore, I cannot test if my temp for age works. It automatically defaults to 0 because it hasn't taken input. Here is my code:
// Program Title: Person function
// Program Description: The program prompts the user for first and last name and age.
// It then prints the output that was provided by the user.
#include<iostream>
#include<string>
using namespace std;
class Person {

So the problem is that if you do launch << " Url = "http://google.com";

I've been working on a student data base that reads in the students name, birth date, social security, and department name (or major). I have all these items in the header files respectively; nameType, dateType, personType, and studentType.
I am now to create another header file called HWONEHEADER that contains the functions showMenu, loadStudent, insertStudent, searchByName, and SaveStudents. This is how far ive gotten
#ifndef HW
#define HW
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <iomanip>
#include "studentType.h"
[Code] .....
Here is the cpp file i have.
int main() {
studentType department;
cin>>department;
cout<<department;
[Code] .....
I need with the HWONEHEADER using the ifstream and ofstream operators to load all the students information into a file called student.dat I'am extremely confused because i can't find anything in my textbook about using ifstream and ofstream operators.

To generate output data, I'm printing a bunch of vector contents to files. Because the type of variable can differ between vectors, I wrote a templated printing function to print out whatever the content of the vector is. It looks like this:
template <class T>
void SomeClass::PrintVector(std::vector<T>& Values, std::string& outFile) {
std::ofstream out(outFile, std::ios::app);
[Code] ....
I added the fixed because some larger values were being printed in scientific notation. Everything works well. My test code includes 3 vectors of doubles and 3 vectors of unsigneds. All the unsigneds work well and two of the doubles work well, but the third doubles vector prints nonsense unless I disable the fixed.
The calling code is the exact same. I know the values in the vector are correct, because a) if I comment out the "fixed" flag it works, and b) one of the unsigned vectors is sorted based on the values in that double vector (after it is printed, so the sort cannot corrupt the vector print) and works perfectly.
The "nonsense" looks like chinese/weird characters, if that matters.

I have to output a series of data, I have to control the width of parts of my data. like following:
double a[] = {1.0, 2.0, 3.0};
double b[] = {1.5, 2.5, 3.5};
ofsteam myfile("result.txt");
for(int i=0; i<3; i++) {
myfile.width(5);
myfile << i+1 << " : " << a[i] << " - " << b[i] << end;
}
I only want to fix the width of a[i], b[i], but let the rest to be output normally.
how I can make it?

Code:
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
char ch=0;FILE *fp;
fp=fopen("C:UsersPCDesktopNew folderQuestion 5one.txt",'r');
while(ch!=EOF){
printf ("%c", ch);
ch=getc(fp);
Sleep (200);}fclose(fp);
return 0;
}
I keep getting an error with my fp=fopen so how do you open the text? Do i have anything else wrong with my code.

I am fairly new to programming and I am writing a small POS system which in the background creates a receipt. I guess the relevant code would be this:
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
FILE *receipt;
receipt = fopen("receipt.txt", "w");
fprintf(receipt, "Coffee Bar
[Code] ....
Of course the last bit wont be running for you, since the variables are missing. My question now is, that I like to open this file in a text editor. The file should be opened with a command withing the code. Is that possible at all? As you might can tell the receipt should pop up after the program ran and the user should be able to print it afterwards.

Reading a .dat file, i'm unable to open the file. This program is for a Air Quality index detector, the AQI machine records the particle concentration every minute and saves it into new data file for each day. So I need to make this program run every minute and convert the concentration in to the AQI readings.
The filename is of the format "ES642_2013-11-09.dat", where ES642 is the software name of the machine, and rest is the year, month and day. The code here is just for the file reading section:
Code:
