C++ :: Comparing Two Data Files?
Feb 15, 2013
I'm trying to compare two data files character by character to see if they are the same. If the files are different, the program should print out the line numbers of where they do not match. So far, I have the part where it returns 'T' for when the files are the same and 'F' when they are not. But how should I start where the program prints out the line number where the characters are different? I am thinking of an array but nor sure how to start it.

I am having a slight issue with the strcmp function. I am comparing string data from two different files. I want the function to output a set of information if the strings are the same and a different set of data if the strings are different. My issue is, the function outputs the data that's the same but not different.
I had an else statement that compared the data if it was NOT equal but it only duplicated the data in the file.
One file is a listing of 100 books with 10 lines of information and an assigned market. The second file is a listing of the markets contained in the books file. However, the books file has a market that is not located in the markets file. The "missing" market is what is not priting or displaying.

I'm trying to input a html file and copy everything from that file to a new html file with some changes. I need to read the html file word by word and compare them to a file with some keywords. If a keyword matches a word in the html file then it will add italic tags around that word in the output html file. As it is now it doesn't output anything.
Logically I want to read a word from the html file and then compare it to every keyword and output the result.
fileIn = original html file
keyword = keywords file
outFile = html file writing to
std::string str;
std:: string word;

I am writing a program to hide files behind other files using Alternate Data Streams in Windows NTFS file systems.
The program is as follows:
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(void){
char hostfile[75], hiddenfile[75], hiddenFileName[15] ;
printf("Enter the name(with extension) and path of the file whose behind you want to hide another file: ");
scanf("%75s", hostfile);

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>

The problem is I have a function which sets some variables and I want to access the variables, but myfunc() is nested too deeply for me to pass a data structure all the way down and to return all the way up. The functions reside in different files. I'm not allowed to use extern structs (i.e. a global variable).
How to use a class and instantiate it in myfunc(). My solutions are:
- using the singleton class method
- static variables and function residing in the class (but I'm suspicious of this way. seems like it's just class variables masquerading as global variables.

I was wondering if i had to say simply retrieve data from a server whether it be simple plain text for variables or download whole files (FTP), what would be the best method for this? I would imagine there is a pretty big difference between retrieving text and downloading files but im just wondering what the best thing would be to research for both.

I am trying to use myfile to create and write user data to a file [URL].
At the moment I only want to save as .txt so that I can open it to see that it wrote to file properly.
The main issue I get is that it says the file is not open when my program gets to the error checking at the very end, a few guides mentioned that if the file was not yet created a file with the specified name would be generated in the same folder as main on the hard drive. I did try creating the file as a notepad .txt file but it still read the error. Here is the snippet concerning the writing of the file:
void WriteToFile() {
if(myfile.is_open()) {
myfile.open("userdata.txt",ios::in);
myfile<<"User name: "<<NameFirst<<" "<<NameLast<<"
[Code] ....
it compiles fine with the rest of the program and everything runs smoothly, it just isn't writing to a file.I have included <string>, <iostream> and <fstream>.

I have the following code and I am trying to do simple math calculations to the data. I need to take the car price (y) minus down payment (z) and then divide that quantity by 12 times "yearsx" That answer is then assigned to x. The problem is that x will not print the correctly!I also noticed that if I increase the "count" to amnything higher than the number on lines in the file, I get the correct value for x but only on the last set of the struct..my file reads as follows:
last_name first_name car_price down_payment years
johnson bill 10,000 2,000 3
When I printf the struct to the screen, i need to do the following:
x = (10,000 - 2,000)/(12*years);
but this is the math part that wont work. I have checked and doubled checked number types and I cant get it right.
Code:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#define FILENAME "file.txt"
#define SIZE 100
}

I need to convert characters in a input file to numbers in output file and display both the characters and numbers in a console window.Only 7 numbers can be displayed, the rest needs to be dropped.The input file contains the following data, with one number per line:
CALL HOME
GET LOAN
Hi THERE
BYE FOR NOW
For example, once the first number in the input file has been processed, the console window should display the following: CALL HOME 225 5466.
The output file should now also contain the number:
225 5466
Currently my console is displaying the following:
Enter the input file name.
infile.txt
Enter the output file name.
outfile.txt

I have a data buffer project in Windows 7 x64 embedded OS (using Visual Studio 2008), that would work simply like that:
One writer application will send data (no network protocols, just procedure call on the same machine) to my app like 20 packages per second, each data packages will be approximately 3 MB size and comes with a timestamp tag.
My application will store each data item for 100 minutes and then remove. (So I can calculate the total size from beginnig no need for dynamic allocation etc...)
Meanwhile there will be up to 5 reader applications which will query data from my app via Timestamp tag and retreive data (no updates or deletitions on data by reader apps).
So since the data in my buffer app can grow over 50GB I don't think that shared memory is going to work for my case.
I'm thinking about using Boost Memory Mapped Files or Windows API Memory Mapped Files.
So theoratically I will crate a fixed size File on harddisk (lets say 50GB) and then map some portion to RAM write the data to this portion, if the reader applications wants to use the data which is mapped currently on memory, then they will use directly, otherwise they will map some other potion of the file to their address spaces and use from there...
My problem is I haven't use Map File concept at all and I'm not a C++ developer so I'm not very familiar with the language fundementals. I've searched tutorials of boost and msdn for windows as well but there is not too much code example.
So I don't know how to map some portion of the data to memory and manage it, also how to search data in file or memory according to the timestamp tag. Yes there are codes for creating files and mapping the whole file to memory but none for dividing it into regions, aligning or padding the data which I need for my case.

I'm trying to read stream data from a stream in a pdf file compressed in LZW. My first step is to read this compressed data into a buffer. The second step is to decompress it. I know how to decompress it, it is the first step I am having trouble with.
How should I read this data? If I read each character into a char the numerical output will not exceed 256. LZW compressed output should exceed 256.
I read the pdf in binary mode and have tried the read function like below.
From what I understand (don't quote me), I should be reading in 12 bits at a time. Is that correct and if so should I be using a bitfield. If I do need a bitfield then how to I read the data from the stream into a bitfield of 12 bits without restricting the binary value of the characters being read from the compressed stream.
Code:
ifstream inputfilestream;
inputfilestream.open("myfile.pdf", ios::out | ios::binary);
char mychar; //unsigned char gives an error though it can be //converted to unsigned char later.
while (inputfilestream.read(mychar, 1)) {
// do something with the char.. I have stored it in an int vector
}

Whenever I run my program, It should be taking this string of information:
Shampoo 10 8.75 87.50
Pen 3 2.50 7.50
Headphones 5 20.99 104.95
MacAir 1 879.23 879.23
Raspberries 6 4.99 29.94
Oranges 5 2.79 13.95
Apples 3 3.85 11.55
From one file and outputting it to another, the finished product should look like:
Shampoo 10 8.75 87.50
Pen 3 2.50 7.50
Headphones 5 20.99 104.95
MacAir 1 879.23 879.23
cheapest item = Pen
most expensive item = MacAir
total cost = 1079.18
shopper = Mary Kay
Raspberries 6 4.99 29.94
Oranges 5 2.79 13.95
Apples 3 3.85 11.55
cheapest item = Oranges
most expensive item = Raspberries
total cost = 55.44
shopper = Winnie B. The Pooh
When I run my code however, it doesn't get past shampoo and will continue to add shampoo to the total cost infinitely. How can I change the code to produce the proper information?
CODE:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <float.h>
#include <sstream>

ofstream output_file;

In my program I open two files and write data into each, and close them. this is done in a while loop.
int main() {
while() {
myFile = fopen("file1.txt","w");
myFile2 = fopen("file2.txt","w");
// write data into files using fprintf() in a for loop
fclose(myFile);
fclose(myFile2);
}
}
However, after some iterations the fopen() for myFile2 fails.
Debug assertion failed!
Program....
File ......srcfprintf.c
Line 55
Expression (str != NULL)
I have not been ableto locate the bug in the code that is causing the failure.

I am writing a piece of code that requires me to display the last 1000 lines from a multiple text files (log files). FYI, I am running on Linux and using g++.
I have a log file from which - if it contains more than 1000 lines, I need to display the last 1000 lines. However, the log file could get rotated. So, in case where the current log file contains less than 1000 lines, I have to go to older log file and display the remaining. For e.g., if log got rotated and new log file contains 20 lines, I have to display the 980 lines from old log file + 20 from current log files.
What is the best way to do this? Even an outline algorithm will work.

I'm a novice with C programming and i have to solve an error in the following code. The code works like you enter a password called "uoc" and it shows as OK. But surprisely when you entered another password as "Cambridge" it works fine too.
I think that the problem is in the array declaration but i'm checking resources and no success!

#include <stdio.h>

Given this code
Code:
double x=1.00,y=2,z=4;
if (y/z||++x)
x+=y/z;
printf("%f
",x); So (y/z||++x)
is true if at least one expression is true, that is either (y/z)!=0 or (++x)!=0 or both. I wonder how the comparison is done? Is (y/z) be truncated to integer or 0 be promoted to double?

I am trying to make a game where you have a secret code that is coded with colors like ROYG (red,orange,yellow,green) and I am having trouble when it tells you when you have a right color in the right spot or a right color in the wrong spot when you guess a color. How can I change my code under the function int comparearray where it will compare pointers to pointers and not integers and give me the correct number of "almost" and "correct".
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

I created a function to check whether the first character of a string is a number or not by comparing it to every base 10 digit using a for loop. If it is, the string is valid, if it is not, the string is not valid
Code:
//ensure the first character is not a number
int ValidFirstChar(char FirstChar) {
int IsChar = TRUE, DigitCount = 0; /*boolean value indicating whether the first character is a number or not.*/
//check through all base 10 digits
for (DigitCount = 0; DigitCount <= 9; DigitCount++) {
if ((int)FirstChar == DigitCount)
[Code] ....
I have checked for the case where the first character is a number but it is displaying the error message for it. I have tried typecasting the char variable but that has not worked.

If I have 2 arrays, say array1 = {2, 2, 4, 5, 6} which has sorted array elements and array2 = {4, 2, 6, 2, 5} that has same elements as array1 but not in sorted condition. How can I compare that both arrays have same elements. I have written the following code which works in all conditions except when array1 has two same elements and array2 has all different elements.
counter=0;
for (i=0; i<5; i++) {
for (int j=0; j<5; j++)
if (array2[i] == array1[j]) {
counter++;
array1[j]=0;
