C++ :: Program To Search Index File Using Command Line In Linux

Oct 28, 2014

I have code that creates an index file created from a data file of records.

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <map>
#include <sstream>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;
class Record {

[Code]...

I now need to write a second program that allows the user to enter a command on the Linux command line such as

search 12382 prog5.idx

and returns the information for the record with that key. The code I included for the index file is correct and works properly, but how to write the second program.

Here is the index file created by the first program:

8: blank 0 $ 0.00
12165: Item16 30 $ 7.69
12345: Item06 45 $ 14.20
12382: Item09 62 $ 41.37
12434: Item04 21 $ 17.30
16541: Item12 21 $ 9.99
21212: Itme31 19 $ 8.35
34186: Item25 18 $ 17.75
41742: Item14 55 $ 12.36

The top line is a dummy record, the first number is the size of the file.

C :: Gzip System Linux - Program To Unite 2 Commands Into 1 Command

Sep 15, 2013

I'm writing a program to turn the two commands "gunzip file.tar.gz" then "tar -xvf file.tar" into "x file.tar.gz", but I've ran into a problem I can't find a solution to, here are the outputs I get depending on if I use a gunzip -f flag in my system() call or not:

if I use: (void)system("gunzip ", store );
> x file.tar.gz
gzip: compressed data not read from a terminal. Use -f to force decompression.
type: gzip -h
store 1: file.tar.gz
tar: option requires an argument -- 'f'

[code]....

I don't know if the problem is something to do with my code or something to do with gunzip and if it is to do with gunzip if I can even solve it with my code? I've tried for a while to find more info and read the gunzip man file, ran "gunzip file.tar.gz" outside of my program and found that it works normally producing file.tar so I suspect the problem is related to system()?

C :: Incorporate Command Line Arguments Into Program?

May 26, 2014

In the following program, I have gotten it to work with IO redirection (not shown in this particular code), and have made some minor adjustments to get it to work with file processing. The only thing I have to do now is get it to work with command line arguments, and am slightly lost (and I have looked into it).

I basically just need to take a text file from a certain directory and send it to my program. Would need two files, an input and output file.

main.c
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include "LAB_6B_7B.h"

C/C++ :: Program That Can Merge Files From Command Line In Li

Sep 22, 2014

I have written a C++ program that is supposed to open two text files (prog2a.dat and prog2b.dat) and write the contents of a specified range of lines to an output file (outfile.dat). I wrote a program that based on the example we were given (to take lines 5-15 from the first file and lines 4-12 of the second file and merge them into the output file) works perfectly. However, after asking my professor for some clarification on another part of the assignment, I found out I have not done this correctly. I have the code written so that it will always output the range of lines I mentioned earlier, but the program is actually supposed to allow the user to merge the files from the command line using whatever range they want by typing in the following command:

prog2 in1 5-15 in2 4-12 outfile

But I'm not sure how to tweak my current program to allow this to be done.

Here is the code that I have written, keep in mind that this works properly for the way it is written, but not how it is supposed to work for the purposes of the command line (hopefully that makes sense):

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;
int main() {
// Create output file
std::ofstream outFile("outfile.dat", ios::out);

[Code] .....

Is there any simple way to make this work as I described using the command line? Also, I am supposed to break this up into three files, a header file, the program file, and a test file (the test file contains main() and should close the 3 open files and display any error messages), but I'm getting really confused as to what should go in the header file. I know the header file should contain class definitions and constructors, but don't really know how to make that work for this specific program?

C++ :: Using File From Command Line

Apr 13, 2013

I'm trying to read in a file specified in the command line but I'm having some trouble. The command line entry specifies the inputfile preceded by '<' and the output file preceded by '>' like so

./program -v < input_file.cmd > output_file.cmd

This is what I've got so far.

int main(int argc,char* argv[]){
string strv="-v";
string input="<";
string output=">";
string str;
string input_file;
const char* in=input_file.c_str();

[Code] .....

This compiles ok, but when i run it using :

./program -v < test1.cmd

I get a segfault, if i cout argc it returns '2' where i would expect for this command line entry, I 'd get 4.

I'm not yet outputting to file, just to the screen so im not specifying an output file yet.

C :: How To Test Program That Opens Files In Command Line

Mar 10, 2014

The below program is supposed to display the contents of all files listed in the command line. When I try to run the program I get the fatal error "Debug Assertion Failed" Expression: file != NULL. I've done some researching on the matter and I gather it might be because I don't have any files listed in the command line?

How to enter files in the command line! I opened the Command Window in Windows XP and tried typing in "C> argc" and "% argc" (argc being the name of the file containing the below program) without any luck.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main (int argc, char * argv[]) {
int ch; // int to hold EOF
int count;
FILE *fp;
for(count = 1; count <= argc; count++) // agrc loop

C :: Reading A File Through Command Line

Jul 11, 2013

I'm currently working on making a program that is run through a GUI run through the command line. The program basically takes an app file and a boot file and runs it through a bunch of functions and generates a new outfile. Anyway I'm new to C and can't figure out how to code it so I can type the two file paths into the command line and read them into the function. Is it possible to do this within the "if else" statement?

Code:
int main(int argc, char *argv[]){
const char * const SrcFilePath;
const char * const SRecordPath;
const char * const FopIspFilePath;

C :: Command Line And Converts String From File Into A Linked List

My program takes in an input file from the command line and converts the string from the file into a linked list and then depending on the command it will manipulate the string to either reverse the list, print the list, or take a character out...I'm having trouble taking a character out, my code compiles fine but doesn't change the string at all

Code:

Visual C++ :: Enter File Name By Keyboard Instead Of Command Line Arguments?

Mar 10, 2013

Actually the below program is for Dispersal Algorithm called Rabin-IDA; this algorithm divided the data into N pieces and then recombine it from M pieces (such that M<N).

Thus, the below program needs command line arguments,which entering by Project properties/Debugging. this argument is file name, where the program performing spitted the file into N files, and then recombine it from M divided files, and put it on another file which should also passing its name as argument .

Now my question is, How can i make this program enter the file name by keyboard??(i mean enter the files name by user from screen not as command line arguments) ... In another word, How I can exchange ?

Code:
argc == 3
and
Code:
argc == 2

To enter file name ? i mean what i should do to in

Code:
rabin.split(argv[1])

To pass my file name by use keyboard not Project properties/Debugging?)

the below code is just the main function of program, and the whole of it in this link [URL] .... Information Dispersal Algorithms Rabin-IDA.

Code:
#include "include.h"
void __cdecl _tmain(int argc, TCHAR *argv[]) {
DWORD ini=GetTickCount();
try {
if( argc == 3 ) //recombine

[Code] ....

I know I should use getline() function but how exchange argv[] ?

C++ :: Use Find Function To Search For A Line In Text File

Oct 28, 2013

I'm trying to make a program that will search for a line in a text file using a non default delimitor at the start of the line. An example line in the text file would be as follows:

F Mary Smyth, 19, United Kingdom

I have been able to use the find function to search for and return the 'F' character but would like it to then display the whole corresponding line. Is this possible with the find function?

ifstream readFromFile("data.txt");
string Destinations[1] = {"F "};
string data;
while(!readFromFile.eof()){
getline(readFromFile,data);

C++ :: Get Last Line Displayed By Another Command Line Window

Apr 14, 2013

I write a program which now works perfectly well. However, I want to make it run at the right time automatically, instead of waiting for a user to start it when needed.

The basic problem is, that in a WinPE environment an exe is running. Unfortunately it would need critical input, which must be inputted perfectly. So, I wrote a program which gets the data and sends it to the other app, by bringing it to the front and presses the keys needed using SendInput().

However, this program should wait for it's cue, then get on the inputting part. It's cue should be the point where the program waits for the first user input with this displayed on the last line:

Text:

My question is: how to listen and check whether the last line displayed is "Text:"?

I've tried with AttachConsole(), but for some reason it opens a new console window. I checked and the PID I'm using is the console window's, so I don't know why that happens.

The few lines I'm trying with:

HWND hwnd = FindWindow(NULL, "Administrator: Command Prompt");
SetForegroundWindow(hwnd);
SetFocus(hwnd);
DWORD process_id;
GetWindowThreadProcessId(hwnd, &process_id);

[Code] ...

Please don't criticize the first line. I know it can be ambiguous, but I modified it, When actually using it, the exe name will be in the title, so it will be unique.

Visual C++ :: Search Function - Ask User To Input Name And Brings Out Line From TXT File Containing Information

Dec 8, 2013

How to get this thing to work. All i need to do is ask user to input a name and then it brings out the line from the .txt file containing the information.

For example in my case I'm doing a member search function I'm required to ask user to input the name of the customer and then print out all the details (which consumes 1 text line in the .txt file)

Here is the code, This is the write to text file method (100% working)

Code:
cout << "Customer Name: ";
cin >> name;
// ...
ofstream myfile("customer.txt", ios::app);

C++ :: Item Search Based On 2 Values For Index?

Apr 4, 2013

I have to be more code specific (I usually try to abstract my code). As you can see I use a lot Qt classes... however they work very similar to standard libraries, so it should be not a problem to look at this question.

class FrameManager {
QList<FRAME> frameData;
public:
int frameID(int grpno, int imgno);
};

[Code] ....

Now I know the example search only the ID and doesn't allow the access of the actual data... this is not the question.

The problem is... I will need to define an AnimationManager class that will collect sequence of frames (identified by the unique couple of value) in animations... so it will need to use a massive search of item from the couple of value (and not ID, unluckly)

I fear if I use an approach similar to the one written in the example (search from the start to the end until the element is found) can be very unefficient.

In the same time the AnimationManager should always know if frame exist or not (if not exist an invisible image will be shown) and if in the meantime changed.

Another problem is that I cannot order the data sequence inside FrameManager (becouse it is expected to mantain the original order, even when it is chaotic).

I tried to take a look around QMap (or std::map) but it is not clear at all how the optimiziation works and how I can use it in my case

I tried also to take a look at the "hash" concept, but for me it is too complex to understand deeply.

So... I am feeling like I am entrapped... I am unable to find a good "exit"...

C++ :: Compiler Command Line Arguments

Jun 15, 2013

I have found this C++ online compiler (to use when I am at work): Compile and Execute C++ online

When you write and compile a program, on the right side (the "output" side), you can read this command line arguments:

$ g++ main.cpp -o demo -lm -pthread -lgmpxx -lreadline 2>&1

What is the meaning of the following arguments? -lm [link the math header file, right?]

-pthread
-lgmpxx
-lreadline

Any book (ebook, tutorial, printed book, whatever) where I can find all (absolutely all) these and other possible arguments?
