I'd like to add a 'command' to my C program. For example if someone types 'get out' it closes the shell and quits. I want the 'get out' command to work like 'exit'. How do I write a code like this
Code:
char entry[15];
scanf("%[^
]", &entry);
if (entry = "get out")
do "exit";
I am trying to recreate this bash command in c code:
Code: bash-4.2$ exec 3<<<teststring
bash-4.2$ cat <&3
teststring
bash-4.2$
I've written a small program to do this as shown below:
Code: bash-4.2$ cat test.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <fcntl.h>

I'm currently making something with C++ for a computer at my house. I have a program in which I let run minimized and hidden on my home computer which will save any application that is opened. It will log it so I know if my kids are on my office computer (they shouldn't be.).
I'm curious as to if I can make the program linked to a program I make on my work computer (at my workplace) and execute a command. I'm interested in making it so I can always be connected from the Workplace app to the Home Office App.
My idea for the program is to have a sort of administrative way of shutting the computer down or locking it remotely. If I see they are using the PC in my office, I want to be able to simply type a phrase and shut the computer off or lock them out.
I am looking to make a program for C++ that has a GUI other than command prompt. The program I am trying to create will ask certain questions and display the results at the end after all questions are asked and have 2 copies of the results one over the other that can be printed as a receipt. Basically I am wondering can I do this using C++. Also I want another GUI other than command prompt as well. Something close to what windows uses if possible.

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.

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?
i wrote the c program for command line arguments,but i don't know how execute c program through command prompt

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.

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()?

The program that I have written below is working. It calculates a number of payroll type variables and most recently the net pay average (All this is working 100%).
My problem is that I need to add first and last employee names to the program but every time I do this I end up ruining the working program. I've successfully added first and last names to similar programs in the past(ones that make use of an array and while loop) but never to a program that uses functions (I always have problems doing this).
My question is what codes do I use to add a first and last name variable and where do I put those codes within my program so it runs/displays correctly.
I think the coding must be similar to what I've used in the past charr and of course firstname[i] and lastname[i] lines.
