I'm quite new to C++ and got a problem of reading some files from a directory. All files is pure text, and I have no problem in reading these.
My problem is that I always have to read the oldest file without knowing the filename, and then move it to another directory and so on. Is it possible to use the timestamp instead of the filename to access the right file - read it and then move it to another directory?
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
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 need my Unix program to generate a directory with a format like this: "hinesro.<pid>". I have some code that mostly works, except for the directory ends up with a question mark on the end, like this: "hinesro.12345?". I need it to just display the directory without this question mark. Here is my code:
Code:
// Using headers sys/types.h, sys/stat.h, unistd.h, and stdio.h
int pid = getpid();
char prefix[] = "hinesro.";
char fileName[0];
sprintf(fileName, "%s%d
", prefix, pid);

I try to get file names listed by date or name in c. How can i do this.
There is a code: But this gives randomly file names.
DIR *dir;
struct dirent *ent;
dir = opendir ("c:src");
if (dir != NULL) {
/* print all the files and directories within directory */

I have my libraries in ../../lib location
and when i try to compile :
gcc -O9 -I ../../include/ -L ../../lib/ -o test test.c thr.o -lm -lthread
I get :
gcc: error: thr.o: No such file or directory
obviously the problem is the library path location but my obj is there
ls -al ../../lib/ | grep thr.o
-rw-rw-r-- 1 xxxxxx xxxxxx 23544 Aug 12 23:03 thr.o

When I write a code in c++ includes thread library it says "thread:no such file or directory". How can ı use thread library .
I think I should download boost or c++11 but I couldn't do it .
I am trying to substitute a variable for the file directory. Here is the error: error: no matching function for call to 'std::basic_ ofstream <char>:: basic_ ofstream(std::string&)'
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>
using namespace std;
[code]....
Convert this code into one where you can input the file directory from the console?
#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN // prevent windows.h from including "kitchen sink"
#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main()
{LPCSTR Application = "C:Program FilesWindows Media Playerwmplayer.exe";
// Media file extension must be provided
// Paths are quoted
[Code] ....
This code works but the directory can only be changed from the code not the console.
I'm trying to compile this code which is a header file.

But I get the following error:

How can i resolve this?
I keep running into this error, even though the first few times i built and ran something it worked perfectly, and since I'm new to CodeBlocks (or any IDE/Compiler for that matter) what to do.Any code i put in, it'll give me this error....
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to write a program that opens a directory and for each file in directory,it creates a thread. Inside of the thread,it reads the numbers in file.(one number in one line)And then calculates the average of these numbers. I write something like this;
void *calculate(FILE *piece){
int a,k=0,s=0,ort;
while(!feof(ayri)) {
a=fgetc(ayri);
s=s+a;
[Code] ....
When I run the programme,i get lots of errors like 'segmentation error' and some stuff about pthread_create. And I don't think the 'calculate' function is right.I don't know the right way to read numbers line by line.
I have a project that compiles fine with VS 2010. As I compile it with VS 2012 it generates the entitled error. Why?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm reading from stdin a line. With that line, I should open a new textfile with the first letter of that line on a certain directory. My code is the following :
Code:
int main() {
char line[BUFSIZ];
FILE *ptr_file;
int x;
while(fgets(line,BUFSIZ,stdin) != NULL){
[Code] ....
char caminho[] is the directory in which I want to create the text file and chave will be the first letter of the line in stdin.
How am I supposed to use strcat to get these two together in a string to then use ptr_file =fopen(caminho, "w");
I have two questions about C programming here :
1. I want to make a file in the program directory that can't be deleted by user out of the program make that file.for example if I make a file named "123.xyz" by the program named "text.exe" and then exit test.exe ,if I tried to delete the file 123.xyz I faced the error and I could not do it but by the test.exe program that make that file.
2. I heard about a function called "Parbegin()".any way i want to know is there any possible way to run two or more functions of a file.c together,like the parbegin function did an do in OS?
I know how to open a specific files by using
ifstream infile("something.txt");
but how do you let the user select an arbitrary file from the working directory?
I want to write a single line to a file and upload it as a .txt file to a server directory . I know the traditional way to upload a local file to a server
public bool ftpTransfer(string fileName){
try {
string ftpAddress = "test.com";
string username = "test";
string password = "test";
[Code] ....
is there anyway to change this so that I can write the contents of the file through the program and upload it directly without having a local file?
regex pattern that takes only directory without file name

I am using stat command to check the existence of a file in a directory.
The directory is having some 10K files. I feel the stat() call is expensive as i do not need the structure to be populated.
I want only the existence of the file.
Is there any other alternative faster way to do this in C.
I need to write a program that acts as a file manager for all the files and folders in the directory given as an argv parameter and all of its subdirectories. This means be able to move, rename, delete the files in the sub directories. Also I need to be able to store the structure of folders and files in a binary tree adt (I have one already). But I'm not sure what libraries to use with this and how do I open a directory is it like a file with fopen?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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?
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(){

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.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
char buffer[256];
FILE * myfile;
myfile = fopen("read.txt","r");
[Code]...
I also got an error in printing wherein the data in read.txt is "Hello" newline "World" and my program prints world twice.
