Jun 6, 2014

How to make a C function, that will be copying string to the clipboard?(so during execution it copies to cliboard, and after the program ends its execution I will be able to do "Ctrl-V" and paste the things copied)?.

I assume that linux have some sort of in-kernel clipboard which can be filled with some systemcall?

C :: Copying Characters From One String To Another With Pointers?

Apr 14, 2013

So I'm writing a function isPalindrome() that can accept a string as an argument, and copy from it only the alphabetic characters in the argument (original) string to another string named alpha_array which contains only the alphabetic characters. Then the function should be able to call the isPurePalindrome function to determine if alpha_array is an ordinary palindrome.

The problem is that when I call isPalindrome in main, the program crashes.

Here's the code I have for isPurePalindrome and isPalindrome:

Code:

/* 1 */
int isPurePalindrome( const char * sentence ) // Can accept strings, array and pointer arguments
{
// Declarations

C :: Splitting String And Copying It Over To A Struct

Sep 26, 2013

I'm having trouble with this code. What I'm trying to do is to read a line from a file and cut that line into two pieces, one is the keyword and the other is the definition. I want to read up to when there is a dash and assign that line to key and then assign the rest of the line to def. After that I copy key to the struct DictEntries.key and def to DictEntries.def. The output of this shows only the definition for both DictEntries.key and DictEntries.def but if I use "puts(key);" I see the keyword.

Code:

while(!feof(dictionary))
{
char line[200];
char *key,*def;
fgets(line,sizeof(line),dictionary);
key = strtok(line,"-");
}

Visual C++ :: Rapidly Pasting From Clipboard Under Windows 7

Feb 3, 2013

I designed an app for work that lets you enter data in a much more efficient way, then it needs to paste this data into the very curmudgeonly interface we use for work. I designed this app a long time ago while at a different company, and I used VC++ 6. I'm still using VC++ 6, but in a vbox with windows XP.

The code is being called as part of a bigger function that determines what exactly needs to be pasted into the work app spreadsheet. I have to call each item separately because the work app does not take copied tabs the way Excel would or whatever, it just ignores them. And it also pops up boxes and such that need to be handled in other ways.

The result works just fine under Windows XP, but when I do it under my regular Win7 box or on the Win7 boxes at work, it does not work properly.

This sets the data up, Text being the data to be pasted:

Code:
while (1) {
if (OpenClipboard() == FALSE) {
::Sleep(1);
continue;
}
HGLOBAL clipbuffer;
char * buffer;
EmptyClipboard();

[Code] ....

No infinite loops yet, again was just testing if it was OpenClipboard failing because it was being called again too quickly or something (and it did happen occasionally).

Then testing that the clipboard data is correct (this is always true), and pasting with keybd_event. SendInput is not available with VC++ 6.

Code:
HGLOBAL hglb;
LPTSTR lptstr;
LPTSTR buf = Text.GetBuffer(0);
while (OpenClipboard() == FALSE)
::Sleep(1);

[Code] .....

If the ::Sleeps are commented out, it will paste the wrong data almost every time under win7. It seems like it pretty much uses the last thing to be copied in the function and pastes it over and over (but not *always*). If I uncomment them, it will work as expected, but it obviously takes longer. With ::Sleep(50), it works about 80-90% of the time. Obviously I can't have the wrong data being pasted, and I'd prefer not to have to wait like this--and perhaps on a slower system or a system that is doing other things it may take longer and paste the wrong thing. It works fine on XP even without the sleeps.

Did keybd_event become a separate thread or something? Am I doing something wrong with the buffers? (I've tried using CSharedFile too with GMEM_MOVEABLE | GMEM_SHARE | GMEM_ZEROINIT settings, exact same thing.) Why does it work fine under XP but not under 7?

C/C++ :: Copying A String From A Pointer To New Pointer

Mar 4, 2015

I need to make a copy of a string that is defined by char *full and copy it into a different pointer defined by char *duplicate. I have written code to do this however it will not work and i cannot figure it out my code is as follows:

char *duplicate = (char *)malloc(strlen(full) + 1);
strcpy(duplicate, full); /*Make second version of full*/
char *Ptr = strtok(duplicate, " "); /*Split duplicate up*/

I have a full program written but i know this is where the problem is because i have used printf statements to see where the program fails. I get no errors and it compiles successfully but it hits this point of the program and it just stops and windows automatically shuts down the program.

char *full is pointing to:
"To be, or not to be? That is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,"

I need to duplicate the string because i need to use strtok but i will need the original string later on so i need an unaltered version.

C :: Copying Between Arrays?

Jun 12, 2013

I'm doing a 1Mb memory dump like this:

Code:

for (int i = 0; i < 0x00100000; i++) {
dump[i] = *(chipmemory+i);
} // i

Then I save the 1Mb "dump" array to a file, and the file contains the data I expect.

The problem arises when I try to write data back to the array beginning at the "chipmemory" pointer:

Code:
unsigned char msga[18] = "SOME MODIFIED DATA";
int address = 172378;
for (int i = 0; i < 18; i++) {
*(chipmemory+address) = msga[i];
address++;
} // i

Is this the correct way to write back to an address 172378 bytes from the "chipmemory" pointer? or is my code broken somewhere else?

To: C:EXAll

I'm using Visual studio express C++ as the IDE. I have tried using this code:

bool copy_functions::CopyAll(string InPath,string OutPath) {
ifstream In(InPath.c_str(),ios::in|ios::binary);
ofstream Out(OutPath.c_str(),ios::out|ios::binary);

C++ :: Ignoring Punctuation When Copying Cstrings

Jul 29, 2014

Now, I have an assignment in which I am to accept arguments from the command line and copy them into a cstring and display said cstring unmolested. Then I should store it into another cstring but ignore all punctuation, spaces and capital letters. Like this:

./a5 Marge lets Norah see Sharon's telegram
As is: Marge lets Norah see Sharon's telegram
---->: margeletsnorahseesharonstelegram
<----: margeletsnorahseesharonstelegram
Sequence entered is a palindrome
=======================================================

Finally I am to chaeck to see if it is a palindrome. Most of it works and if no spaces are entered nor punctuation it works. However, punctuation causes it to malfunction.

char *FormSeqProc (int argc, char *argv[], char seqAsIs[]) {
int len = 0,
n = 0;
for (int p = 1; p < argc; ++p) {
len += strlen(argv[p]);

C++ :: Copying A Buffer From A Specific Location

Jan 20, 2015

I already wrote:
strncpy(buff2, buff1[i], strlen(buff1)-i );

but this function seem to just copy from the beginning of a buffer to another, not from the ith element.Is there such a function?

Buff1&buff2 are char[10000] and i is declared int, holding the interesting element's position.

C++ :: Copying Data Allocated By New Object

Dec 21, 2013

I have an abstract class Base, with derived classes Derived1, Derived2, etc. I don't know how many there are. So, I have declared an object of Derived like so:

Base* der1 = new Derived1(/* constructor details */);

That gets passed to a function, which modified the data contained by this pointer. However, I need to keep the data from the object, which means that I need to copy the data somehow. The problem is, this copying needs to be done within the function, due to the requirements of the program. I do not know what type the object is, This function will need to reset this data potentially hundreds of times, so I can't just provide lots of objects, as either the function will run out of objects to call or I will run out of space in memory.

How would I create a copy of this, so that I would be modifying a temporary object that could be deleted and I would keep the data that I started with?

C++ :: Copying Binary FILE Contents Into Another

Jan 10, 2013

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?

C++ :: Way / Pattern To Avoid Copying Data

Apr 19, 2013

I have a class buffer, which holds a std::string as member, and a socket_receive function:

struct buffer {
string data;
buffer() {}
buffer(buffer& b) : data(b.data) {}
};
buffer socket_receive() {
buffer tmp;
tmp.data = "1234";
return tmp;
}

so when I write

buffer b = socket_receive();

there is a copy constructor, and the tmp variable is constructed and destructed, is there anyway to improve the performance?

I tried the new c++11 move(), but seems even worse, I must be doing wrong with move(), but I don't know how.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <ctime>
using namespace std;
struct buffer {
string data;

C# :: Create Byte Array From IntPtr Without Copying Data

Apr 18, 2012

let's say I have an IntPtr that points to the raw data of System.Drawing.Bitmap. is there any way to create a byte array from that IntPtr without copying the data? I'm a pretty experienced C++ programmer, so I can call ToPointer() on it and convert to a byte* to work with it as a pointer, which is no big deal for me, but using a pointer and doing pointer arithmetic increases the risk of bugs, so I'd prefer not to do it that way if there's another way.

C :: Eliminating Use Of Malloc / Free When Copying Char Arrays

unsigned long long int address;
float current;
unsigned char pressure_units;
}

But I don't like how I had to use malloc and free. Is there a different way to accomplish copying the string into a char pointer without resorting to dynamic memory allocation?

C Sharp :: Access Database Is Copying To Output Directory On Its Own

Oct 4, 2014

I have an extremely annoying problem, I am inserting data into an access database and now i have noticed that it is copying itself to the bin/debug folder on ts own and yet i have set "Copy to Output Directory" property to "Copy never"

But without fail, it is copied! It is making any attempted updates to the database's information invalid since its not updating at all.

This all started when i installed crystal reports and it asked me to make a duplicate of the database in order to utilize data-sets that were created for certain reports.

Why this is happening? I cannot test my application properly at all.
