C++ :: Converting String To Char Array
Mar 30, 2014
In this program, I have to ask the user for an employee, then the program will check to see if the file for that employee exist, if it doesnt then it will automatically create the file.
ReadNew function reads the file....check to see if it exist
CreateNew function creates a new file.
In my code I have no problem with the first part of reading file.. and my createnew function works in other programs where I am asking for input of file name to create the file name. However in this code I cannot figure how to automatically pass the input filename from the ReadNew function to the CreateNew function. I can't ask the user to enter the name a second time, so I have to pass the input filename into both functions. Here is my code.
Code:
//Create a file, append to it, and read it.
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>
using namespace std;
char filename[256];
string n;
string filelist;
void CreateNew(ofstream & FileNew);
[Code]...

Here's the code I'm working on:
string* arrayPush(string *array, char **toks){
if(array[sizeofHistory -1].empty()){
//find the next available element
for(int i=0; i < sizeofHistory; i++ ){
[Code] ....
toks is an array of pointers to strings. I need to assign a toks to array[i].

So I have to convert ("a499.9") into a char and a float while ignoring the a.
I have the string stored in a buffer and found how to get the char, 4. But I don't know how to get 99.9 as a float.
Here is my code so far.
#include <string>
using namespace std;
main() {
buffer = "a499.9";
[Code] ....
My output:
4
0
How to get that double out?

I am writing a program that asks the user for their gender. I know that atoi converts arrays into integers, but I need the input from the user in the form of F or M into a char, and return it to the main function to be displayed at the end of the program.
string Employee::getgender(char gen)
{
cout << "Please enter your Gender: " << endl;
//atoi function would go here, what for char?
getline(cin,gen)
return gen;
}

I am looking for the correct syntax to typecast a character array as an int. So I would be able to do something like this:
char ch[4];
//...Read characters from file into ch or something, etc...
int i = ( int ) &ch;
or
char ch[4];
//...Read characters from file into ch or something, etc...
int i;
strncpy ( ( char* ) &i, ch, 4 )
I want all the 4 characters ( or bytes ) of ch to be classed as an int. So we are taking the 4 bytes of the character array and placing them in 4 bytes of the integer? How would i go about this?

I am trying to convert a char buffer[1024] with raw data to int 16 buffer2[1024] which is supposed to have hex data (0x01, 0x02 kind of format).
Code:
char temp_buffer[1024];
block_size = sizeof(temp_buffer);
num_blocks = sizeof(char);
Status = mount(0, &myfsObject);
if(Status != DAVEApp_SUCCESS)
[Code] .....
I am verifying the data of resultant buffer by creating a new file and writing data to it. The result which i got is:
Code: H uy H uy H uy H uy H uy H uy H uy H uy

For Example, it the entered string is: 0324152397 I want it to get stored in an array like-[0] [3] ...[7]. Secondly the string entered may be of any length that is defined only at run time. So, I also need to calculate string length. How could I do that.

I am having a lot of trouble extracting values from a string into a double array.
I have a string that looks something like this: "asdf 1.320 1 234.43 5.00000 3"
All I want to do is extract the doubles and store them in an array of doubles.

I am new to coding Here is the problem. Have a program prompt the user for a filename to open. Change every alphabetic character in the file to a capital letter. Numbers and special characters should not be changed. Print the output to the screen.
Here is my code so far but i am only returning the last line of text capitalized from the file. I am trying to get the program to display all of the three lines of text from the file capitalized. The program displays the file correctly before i try and convert everything toupper();
Code:
Code: #include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <ctype.h>
int main()
{
char line[81], filename[21];
int i;
FILE *inFile;

I am trying to understand why i keep getting errors in my code. The errors are after the string is converted in my console window. I have to allocate and delete memory via dynamic array to do the problem.
#include<iostream>
#include<string>
#include<cctype>
using namespace std;
int main() {
string sentence;
int size;
[code]....
I just want to know why the extra characters are at the end of my conversion and how to make them stop.

I'm trying to "tokenize" a string using std::string functions, but I stored the text in a char array. When I try to convert it to a string, the string has the first character right but the rest is garbage.
// Get value from ListBox.
char selectedValue[256];
memset(selectedValue, NULL, 256);
SendMessage(GetDlgItem(hWnd, IDC_LB_CURRENTSCRIPT), LB_GETTEXT, selectedIndex, (LPARAM)selectedValue);
// Convert to string.
string val(selectedValue);
[Code] ....

I have some code:
char cHomeTeamFaceOffsPercentageWon[100];
memcpy(cHomeTeamFaceOffsPercentageWon,cSqlHomeTeamFaceOffsPercentageWon,100);
After this, for example, cHomeTeamFaceOffsPercentageWon is, "29%".
Then, I use
std::string szwPercentageWon = std::string(cHomeTeamFaceOffsPercentageWon);
szwPercentageWon is then, "2". Shouldn't this convert correctly, to "29%" as well.
Or is there something I'm missing? Maybe the termination character, or something.

I have a text file with state names, and state abbreviations, thusly:
ALASKA
AK
ARKANSAS
AR
..and so on.
I have to load the abbreviations ONLY from the file into an array of char[ - (already done and tested).
I have to get a 2 char abbreviation as a string,then test it against the state array to make sure it is a valid abbreviation. As it stands, my test is never finding an invalid abbreviation..
Here is where I get the input:
void getState() {
char state[10];
getString("Please enter the state as a 2 char abbreviation:",state,10);
printf("State Entered:%s", state);
validState(state);

How do I convert a string of unknown length to a char array? I am reading strings from a file and checking if the string is a Palindrome or not. I think my palindrome function is correct, but do I do something like char [] array = string.length(); ??
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <cctype>

Why is this
Code: fFile << (char) (i)p.x, (char) (i)p.y,(char) (i)p.z); not the same as this
Code: printf("%c%c%c", (i)p.x, (i)p.y, (i)p.z);

Having trouble converting char to hex.
according to here [URL] ....
ô in decimal is 147 and print ô using alt 147
and here [URL] ....
ô in dec is 244 but prints ⌠ using alt 244
put on console
char c = ô;
cout << (int)c << endl;
prints -109 and print m using alt -109
I am using alt to test char output. Why I'm getting a negative value? Which of the tables are correct? I have string of char that I want to print in hex. I get a hex string but the hex value don't correspond to any of the two tables on the websites because the console converts special char to negative values.

I am trying to store each char of a string(string a ="1100") into a byteArray ( byte[] byteArray = new byte[4]. its not showing any error but its storing like below:
byteArray[0] = 49
byteArray[1] = 49
byteArray[2] = 48
byteArray[3] = 48
and what i want is
byteArray[0] = 1
byteArray[1] = 1
byteArray[2] = 0
byteArray[3] = 0
I don't know why but its replacing 1 with 49 and 0 with 48.what am I doing wrong or how to do this?
my code is as below
byte[] byteArray = new byte[4];)/>
int binArrayAdd = 0;
string a ="1100";
foreach (char Character in a)
{
byteArray [binArrayAdd] = Convert.ToByte(Character);
binArrayAdd++;
}

I have program where i have to check to see if file exist, if it does not then it needs to be created. SO I have a read file that works fine, if th efile exist it reads whats in it, if it does it says the file does not exist. Now Im trying to creata function that creates the file if it doesnt exist. so in my read function when the person enters the name of the file to be checked for..I pass that name to a variable called name..Hoping that I could then pass it into my create file function if it does not exist..and use that variable to pass the name they entered into the createfile array..called filename.. but I am having trouble because i get error when i try to pass from a string name to char array.. even when I change the varialbe name to char, or char [256] it will not work.. I try to fing a way to convert th string to a char using the strncopy function but still no dice..here the code i have for the createfile funciton
void CreateNew(ofstream & FileNew)//Create file
{
char filename[256];
string name;
[Code].....
How can i do this without having to ask the person to enter the file name twice..
