C++ :: Controlling Some File - Copying Complete Contents Of PDF
Aug 5, 2014
I need to open a pdf file (I used system("file_name.pdf"), and it worked). Next is that I want to copy complete content of the file (I want to execute ctrl+a). I want to give this command through my C program, then I will get the content of the windows clipboard having all the copied content.
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main(){
/* opening a file */
system("results.pdf");
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////
/////copy the content in file (execute ctrl+a)/////
////// ------------------------------------- ////
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////
return 0;
}

How does one go about copying one binary FILE variable to another in C++? Say I have the following:
FILE* tempFile; //is a binary file and assume already filled with contents
FILE* localFile;
tempFile, as the name implies, is stored in a temporary directory (AND has a randomized temp name) within Windows and I want to copy its contents to another file with a predefined name that is within a valid local directory (e.g. C:UsersuserMy Documents est.exe). What do I have to use?

I need to extract full sentences from a file and the save them in a set. I tried getline to get a full line and then removed the characters after the period. This method doesn't work too well if the other half of the sentence is on another line. How should i fix this?

I am currently working on quite complex project. Anyway, im not gonna go into deeper details. What I am stuck with is following function.
What I've got so far is basically a picture, and what I am trying to do is to set continuous movement to it, allow the user to control the directions of its movement by pressing "Up" , "Down", "Left " and "Right" key. The best example I can base my idea on is "Snake" game.
I don't have much of a code, however I am willing to upload it upon request.

how I would code copying a file that cannot be opened (eg. any file that isn't ANSII format).
I know that for a .txt or something like that I could simply do
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
[Code].....
how I would copy a file's contents into a char buffer and copy it over to another file for files that can't be opened/read in notepad? (Example: a rar file or a .exe ) Not sure if that makes

I'm having some trouble with copying one I/O stream into another. I've put the first one into an array but I cannot get my second prompt to copy the .txt file the first prompt sees and outputs to the console. When I try and grab the info from the .txt file my first prompt sees I only see blank space in my .txt file.
#include <iostream>

How to capture incoming serial data and store it into an array for controlling functions. But I am now working with a radio module that receives incoming data and stores it into a uint_8t.
From there in the basic sketch that the radio library came with it is printed in the serial terminal like this:
uint8_t buf[RF22_MAX_MESSAGE_LEN];
uint8_t len = sizeof(buf);
if (rf22.waitAvailableTimeout(500)) {
// Should be a message for us now
if (rf22.recv(buf, &len)) {
Serial.print("got reply: ");
Serial.println((char*)buf);
I have read a lot of tutorials on pointers, and I am just having a very hard time grasping how to extract data out of one. I realize this is char and not integers. The goal is to transmit five integers in a digital state of either 1 or 0, and then store them in the receiving side and control 5 outputs based on the status of those 5 bits. This is proving to be quite confusing for me though as I cannot seem to grasp how to control the pointer logic.

I would like to copy one bmp file to another using plain fstream (none 3-rd party library). I've managed to come up with something but I keep getting error:
Unhandled exception at 0x504A3442 (msvcr120d.dll) in ConsoleApplication1.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00380000.
when i try to write the content of the bmp files not the header, namely error occurs in this line:
Code : ofs_differential.write((char*)&picture, (bfh_warm.bfSize - bfh_warm.bfOffBits));
Also i am not sure if i am doing it in a right way, meaning that even after solving this error i will copy the bmp file successfully.
Code:
// ConsoleApplication1.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
struct BITMAPfileHEADER {
unsigned short bfType;

I'm writing a program that stores records into a file and then these records can be printed out. A last name, first name, and score is stored to be exactly 36 characters long (using leading spaces to pad) making it easier to retrieve specific records. For example, three records stored in the file would like like this: (the underscores are simply to illustrate the distance, they are not in the file itself)
_______lastname_______firstname__90__________lname __________fname_100___________last___________first __60
When printed out, the names are formatted as follows:
lastname, firstname: 90
lname, fname: 100
last, first: 60
However, when I print them out this is what I get:
lastname, firstname: 90
lname, fname: 100$
last, first: 60H
For some reason, for any record after the first, an extra character is added to the end. These characters are not in the file, so I was thinking that the array for some reason wasn't being filled completely, (the array is initialized to size 36 and 36 characters are read from the file using fread) so it was printing out a random character assigned to the 36th array position. Except the character never changes, (always a $ for record 2, H for record 3, l for record 4 if i remember) and I've tried reducing the array size or the number of character read and it's the string that gets altered, the random character always remains. I figure the problem must be in the print_records function (appending seems to work no problem). Anyway here is my print records and appending records code.
Code: /*
- Prints a single record stored in the file pointed to by ifp.
*/
void print_record(FILE *ifp, int record) {

Right now I'm working on an assignment where I need to take the data from on file encrypt it by adding 5 to each byte and then save it to a user specified location. I think I'm close to having it done but I've run into a hick up. After I get the user input for where the encrypted data should be saved the program seems to never end. This is the code I have so far
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main()
{

HTML Code:
So I insert values from a vector into a list and into a multiset, and I noticed zero is added to their contents! I had to do a whole lot of debugging to find out where the error was, how can i stop this thing? Code which generates such error...
infact i checked the content of vector ups to be sure that there was no zero in it, but after loading into list combi_t * head, it seems like there was a zero added and this is giving me errors when i call function master_roller...
Code:
void ins(combi_t * &testa, int &numero, int &num, int &no)
{ // if (ricerca(testa, numero) == 0)
//{
combi_t *temp = new combi_t;
temp->val0 = numero;
temp->val1 = num;
temp->val2 = no;
temp->nextPtr = 0;

I am trying to code a function which will read a file on system and return its content back as string. Code is below.
Code:
char * readtxt(){
FILE * fptr;
char c;
static char txt[30];

I suppose txt variable is pointer. But I need to return the file content as string so the function structure should look like

return "File Contents as String";

I have a character pointer that points to 4000 bytes of valid data. I need to write these valid contents pointed to by this pointer into the file. I am looking for the most optimized way of doing this. I am using the below logic which seems trivial. Any better approach to accomplish the same?
/* length is the number of valid bytes of data */
void parse_contents(const char *data, int length) {
int j = 0;
char path[1024] = "/tmp/data.xml";
FILE *fp = NULL;
fp = fopen(path, "wb");

I have a program that's not doing what I want it to do. This is the assignment:
The nth term of the sequence of triangle numbers is given by, tn = 1/2 n (n+1); so the first ten triangle numbers are:
1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45, 55,...
By converting each letter in a word to a number corresponding to its alphabetical position and adding these values we form a word value. For example, the word value for SKY is 19 + 11 + 25 = 55 = t10. If the word value is a triangle number then we shall call the word a triangle word.
the 'words.txt' has a bunch of words in this format:
"ABSTRACT"
"YOUTH"
there's about 1000 words in that format.
And for any triangle words I find, I put it into another text file which I called triangle.txt.
Now for my program, it pulls the 'words.txt' file just fine but it doesn't recognize any of the words in the file as triangle words.
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>
#include <cmath>
#include <cstdlib>
int getCharValue(char a);
double sum1(std::string name);

Here's the code I'm writing:
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
char* getTeamCode(char* team);
[Code]....
Why the placement of the code on line 21 above matters.
It grabs the correct string just fine. If I write a printf just below it, it prints the string it should correctly. However, if I do a printf of the string OSUteamCode below the fopen call on line 23, it prints blank.
So the first thing I did was move it below the fopen line. It worked, finding and outputting the first game in "game.csv" just fine, but not the other 11. Debugging with printf shows that the contents of OSUteamCode again disappear after the fopen call in the addLineCSV function.
I'm not understanding why that happens. The only thing I can figure is there's something going on with the file I/O commands that I just don't understand, but I can't find anything online that explains what that might be.

I'm making a program in which it will read an input from a text file and then count the numbers of spaces , characters , words . Here is what i think it would work : First i will transfer the contents from the input.txt into a string , after that i will create 3 strings which contain each of these : spaces , characters , words . Then comparing each of the contents of the intput.txt_string to the other 3 strings .
#include<iostream>
#include<fstream>
#include<string.h>
using namespace std;
[code]....
and of course it doesnt seem to work...

Having some trouble with an assignment. Here is the prompt. Write a program that reads the telephone.dat file and displays its contents on the console. The program should allow the user to add new entries to the file.
I have saved the file into a resource file within visual studio and I am trying to run the code to where the file will be shown when I run the program. I know that the program is running and the file is there because if i misspell the filename it will give me the error message. I don't know how to make the contents of the file display. Here is what I have so far.

So I am working on a FUSE filesystem and I currently have the need to load the contents of a text file into an array.
My array initialization looks like: char array[max_entries][PATH_MAX] = {NULL}
The reason I want to pass it by reference is that I want my function to return two values essentially. One a specific char* and the other an array like I initialized. My function proto type looks like:
char* load_meta(char* list[max_entries][PATH_MAX], char* path, int mode);
How I'm trying to call the function:
someChar = load_meta(&array, path_name, 1);
Within the function I try to edit the array by deferenceing it once, like this:
strcpy(*list[i], file_entry); // This seg faults
