C++ :: Copying A File That Cannot Be Opened

Apr 23, 2014

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

C :: File Could Not Be Opened While Filename Seems Correct

Feb 10, 2013

I'm new to C and encountered a weird problem. Here's the code:

int main(){
char name[]="";
readname(name) ;
printf("The filename is: %s
",name);
printf(name);

[Code] ....

I compile this with no problem, but gives "File could not be opened". the strcmp tells me name and "snazzyjazz.txt" are not equal. but when I print them I get the same output.

C :: File Opened In Main And Passing Pointer To A Function

Sep 14, 2013

I am getting a few compile errors for what might be a simple thing to do. I am opening a file in main, passing that pointer to a function and checking the contents of that file with a regex before I pass it on to build a BST. I am getting the following compile errors, what is wrong. Here are the errors:

Code:
gcc main.c fileCheck.c -o tree
main.c: In function `fileCheck':
main.c:19: error: syntax error before "FILE"
fileCheck.c: In function `fileCheck':

[Code] .....

Fatal error: Command failed for target `tree' Here is the two files and header that seem to be causing me the problems.

main.c

Code:
#include "main.h"
//#include "node.h"
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
FILE *fp;
if (argc > 2)

[Code] ....

And the header file.
main.h

Code:
#ifndef MAIN_H
#define MAIN_H
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif

C++ :: Copying One File To Another - I/O Stream

Mar 4, 2013

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>

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?

Visual C++ :: Copying One Bmp File To Another Using Fstream - Access Violation Reading Location

Dec 31, 2014

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;

C++ :: Checking If A Filestream Was Properly Opened

Apr 9, 2013

I' used to check if my streams are properly opened with a simple:

Code:
if (!file)
std::cout<<"Error message";

However I just realized this is only a valid test if they are initialized with a wrong string and when I tested it:

Code:
int main() {
ifstream f_one("input.txt");
ifstream f_two("not_a_file.txt");
ifstream f_three;

[Code] ....

I didn't get the f_three error message, only the f_two.

how should I check my streams in order to prevent this?

C :: Copying File Line By Line Using Dynamic Memory Allocation

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?

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,"-");
}

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++ :: 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

Apr 6, 2014

This program works as expected:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
typedef struct {
unsigned long long int address;
float current;
unsigned char pressure_units;
}

[code]....

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?
