C :: Scan Value For Specific Data
Dec 13, 2014
I created a program that will create a file and print a list on it. Here is the code for my program:
Code:
int controlvalue(void) {FILE *controlvalue;
controlvalue = fopen("something.txt", "a+");
/* Series of fprintfs */
fclose (controlvalue);
return 1;}
Here is an example list created by my program:
Code:
[Gifts]Candy=45
Chocolate=32
Toy=128
Robot=754
Doll=1492
Star=21
Phone=72
Skateboard=87
Frame=314
Days=365
Perfume=421
I want to get the value of "Skateboard" on file. So I need to read 9 lines. On the 9th line, the gets() loop will stop. But, what if I only want to get the value of "Skateboard" as integer (87) and not a string? Also, is it possible to scan the value of Skateboard if it's located on a different (or unknown) line?

I have written the following code to add data to text files which are required to store 3D scan data (I have to calculate the y-coordinate). My code seems to work except that it stops working when I want to create more than ten text files i.e. the directory I am trying to store them in will not hold any more than ten text files. Code is shown below.
#include <string>
#include <locale>
#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <sstream>
using namespace std;

Is it possible to fgets() the string (or word) only after a delimiter? I yes then how?
Example: Code: printer, scanner, machine
Also, how can I sscanf() a string with an indefinite number of sizes and assign it to only one variable?
Example:
Code:
str = "I Love C programming 9000";
sscanf(str, "%s %d", strvar, intvar);

Inside of my studentinfo.txt file
Code:
Jnh Has 2353325 23 56 72 34 67 22 46 42 5 23 56 23
Daniel Laurent 6744590 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 40 50
This code is working totally fine. Right now, I'm trying to update a specific data from the student info. Let's say I'm trying to update my student number of Daniel. So, in this case, I want to replace 6744590 to some other student number. I think I have to use fseek() or rewind() and use fputs() but, I don't know how I should decide where to look.

I created a dataset that contains an empty dataTable that has several columns , and then I created a new report that is linked to this datatable using the report wizard. In my form there is a button when clicked should fill the datatable mentioned above ( I checked if it is being filled by displaying its content in a dataGridView and by firing a messagebox that is triggered when 'datatable.rows.count > 0' ).
The reason that the datatable is initially empty is that it depends on some conditions that may alter the query used to fill it.
But finally when I load the form that has the report viewer it only has the names of the columns of the datatable and no contents. What's wrong ?

Here's my code so far:
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;
int main() {
int dayNumber = 1;
[Code] ....
The code, when run, prompts the user to input an integer like this:
Code:
Day 1
Andy :>12
Bill :>7
Charlie :>15
Day 2
Andy :>5
Bill :>25
Charlie :>14
.
.
.
etc.
Ok, so the code prompts the user to enter an integer for each of the 3 persons and then increments the "Day" and so on... When the user enters a negative value (-1, -2, etc.), the loop is broken and the program ends. Alright, everything is hunky-dory so far. 2 things which I can't figure out.
1. when the user doesn't enter anything and just hits return, the cursor drops a line and is still awaiting an input but doesn't show the prompt "Andy :>", for example. How can I get it to repeat the last prompt when the user doesn't enter anything? Like:
Code:
Day 1
Andy :>
Andy :>
Andy :>12
Bill :>25
Charlie :>15
.
.
etc.
2. When the user enters a letter or a special character, the program blows up. How can I correct this?
I've tried changing the data type for the variable used for the input, tried using getline, get, etc. With my current beginner knowledge, I'm missing something. So how can I get this to work?
The program should allow only integers to be entered, while allowing a negative number to trigger the loop to break or the program to end, and while re-prompting the last person if the user entered an invalid input.

I wrote a code to read a specific amount of data from file until terminating set is reached. however the code does what its supposed to correctly until it reaches the 5th loop it justs stops responding. I've checked the reading file and all elements are correct in the file.
Code:
int main(void){
FILE *file1;
FILE *file2;
FILE *file3;
struct t test1;
struct t test2;

I was given an assignment to create a simple program for traffic control. How should i output data at a specific time, for e.g a driver approaches an intersection, the yellow light will flash indicating that he needs to slow down and then the red light to stop before taking a route. is there any function i can use to output red light a few seconds after yellow light.

I'm writing a C++ module that is meant to recursively scan a directory and I'm curious what yall think of my strategy.
The program is a music player and so I'm trying to make the directory scanner as lightweight and efficient as I can. I've decided I want to scan the files in two passes- first I just want to get a list of all music files that are found in a directory/subdirectories and then I want to process the list and search for id3s/other tags.
As I'm a scanning the directory, I've decided to store the temporary list in a linked list where each node is containing an array of 100 strings. I did this because I obviously don't know how long the list will be and I from my understanding of the C++ vector class it basically just makes over sized arrays and moves them when it runs out of space. That sounded rather clunky to me, as did a traditional linked list.. I didn't see the point of allocating memory that many times in a row.

This is my text file.
bak kut teh[tab]888.0[tab]989.0
spicy chicken nugget[tab]999.0[tab]978.0
I'm experiencing some problem in trying to scan and put it into an array for the food names (e.g an array for food which consist of bak kut teh and spicy chicken nugget) and another 2 array for the other individual integer into C. However there seem to be some problem with my code.
Is there a difference if I use both tab and space instead of space for all?
Code:
#include<stdio.h>
int main() {
FILE *fp;
char food[100];
char buff[BUFSIZ];
float num;

I need to take an unknown amount of sorted files and then output any number that is in at least half of them... I know I need to read in the files to a vector and then iterate through them all at the same time looking at the lowest number first and so on. But I am stuck at the point of taking an unknown amount of files and putting them in a container.
This is what I have so far but the vector isn't working and I think I should be putting each file into its own vector.
string get_file(string filename)
{
ifstream in(filename);
if (in)

I'm working on a silent auction program that will scan a file and find the highest from each group of bids, then have a running total of money made throughout the auction. I'm pretty sure the rest of my code works, i'm just getting stuck on finding the largest number from the line in the file, saving it, then moving to the next auction.
input file text (first number is num of auctions, after that it's num of bids, then the bids):
5 4 100 500 250 300 1 700 3 300 150 175 2 920 680 8 20 10 15 25 50 30 19 23
Sample Output
Auction 1 sold for $500.00!
Auction 2 sold for $700.00!
Auction 3 sold for $300.00!
Auction 4 sold for $920.00!
Auction 5 sold for $50.00!
The silent auction raised $2470.00 for charity!
Code:
# include <stdio.h>
# include <stdlib.h>
# include <time.h>

i need to prompt the user of my program to input numbers into an array so that later on these numbers can be added or subtracted with other numbers to form a new array. My problem is I don't know how to make the user input numbers which will then be saved into the array for later use. Here is the parts of my code that relate to the problem:
Code:
float Xv, Yv, Zv, Xu, Yu, Zu ;
float vector1[VECTOR_LENGTH] = {Xv, Yv, Zv} ;
scanf("%1f %1f %1f", &Xv, &Yv, &Zv);
printf("The first element in the array vector1 is: %3f
", vector1[0]);
The point of that printf function is to see if what they have entered is actually registering as what i want it to. This does not work however and the value for this always comes up as 0.
how to scan numbers into an array so that they can be used for later use?

I need a code that will search through string 1 and find the first place with a letter that also appears in string 2 and return the pointer of that place. This is what I wrote:
char strPbrk(const char *s1, const char *s2) {
char p = *s1;
for (int i = 0; i < strlen(s1); i++)
for (int j = 0; j < strlen(s2); j++)
if ((p+i) == *(s2+j))
return p;
return NULL;
}
but it continues to return wrong values idk what I'm doing wrong.

we conform to the ISO C standard and this snippet of code : Code: vector<tree*> *leaves = new vector<tree*>[num_threads]; where num_threads is specified from command line arguments so not dynamically allocating it violates the standard.
Let's also assume num_threads is greater than one.
What I want to do is scan each vector in leaves for duplicates. If any two vectors in the set have matching addresses, they both immediately go onto the "unsafe" pile and will no longer be subject for testing.
If a vector clears one vector, we test it against the others in the set.
So if we have 3 vectors, A, B and C we test A against B then A against C. For efficiency, we then then just test B against C.
Like I said, I want a "safe" and "unsafe" pile. Every vector in "safe" is fully unique while every vector in "unsafe" is not unique.
I thought about just using a for-loop to loop through leaves and then iterate through each element but I'm not sure if that'll work just right out of the box.

In our Qt application, we have to load several files on application start-up starting from a root directory.
We are recursively scanning the directories and loading the files.
The total time it takes is about 12 seconds. Can we reduce this time if we use multi-threading?
I have heard that multi-threading does not work everywhere and it increases code complexity and debugging issues.
Would multi-threading solve the above problem? We want it to be platform independent (Mac, Linux, Windows).

I wrote this program to scan a number and a string until EOF then print them to a file named "data.list". the problem is that the program duplicates last line of input in the output file. so for example if the input is :
1 test
2 dream
3 code
then output (in data.list file) would be:
1 test
2 dream
3 code
3 code
I also changed the program code so that it reads from data.list file. even here it duplicates last line!
so when program reads the info above saved in data.list it would be:
1 test
2 dream
3 code
3 code
3 code
here's the code for writing:
#include <stdio.h>
int main( void )
{
int num;
char str[80];
FILE *fPTR;
fPTR = fopen( "data.list", "w" ); // opens a file named "data.list", create if doesn't exist
while(!feof(stdin)) // loop until End-Of-File is pressed. Ctrl-Z in Windows, Ctrl-D in Unix, Linux, Mac OS X
[Code]...
and the one for reading from file:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
int main( void )
{
int num;
char str[80];
FILE *fPTR;
[Code]...
How do I fix this behavior??

so I wrote this code in class today and I'm almost done but I need to come up with some sort of equation to add up all the total values. The problem is I am reading data off a txt file so it's all being read as one thing. I don't know how to get each specific value and add them all together. This is my code so far.
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
[Code] .....
here's what's inside the input file
Chisel 50 9.99
Hammer 30 15.99
Nails 2000 0.99
Bolts 200 2.99
Nuts 300 1.99
Soap 55 1.89
I end up multiplying the amount by the price to get the total value as shown in the code above. Now I just don't know how to add the total value of each item to get the total overall value. Also I haven't used invTotal because I want that to be the overall total.
