I have this code to check if file exist already and its work, but what i need is : is to add feature to function to see if the file already exist open same file and rename it with another name ,probably file2

assume file name is "abc.c"

This scenario like this

User>>(provide file name)

Code>>(check if file already exist show msg:

"File already (abc.c) exist would you like to create another file and rename it ("abc2.c") "maybe it need loop to search directory "????

User>>if press yes ok it will make another file with another name but if no exit the function and dont create another file

Code: // function to check file existence and here what i need to add the feature above

int fExist(const char* fn){
struct stat buffer;
int exist = stat(fn,&buffer);
if(exist == 0)

Visual C++ :: Check For File Existence - Function Will Fail Or Return Non-zero Value

Sep 21, 2013

Just wonder is it possible that if the file exist, this function below will fail by returning non-zero value?

_access( INIFilename, 00 )
00 - check for Existence only

I noticed that sometimes if even the file exist, the function will fail or return non-zero value. So trying to find out and duplicate this error. It tends to happen intermittently. How can I find out what causing this error?

Code:
char INIFilename[256]="C: emp est.ini";
unsigned long Error = 0;
if( _access( INIFilename, 00 ) != 0 ) {
Error= GetLastError();
printf ("Failed to access INI file %s (%ul)", INIFilename, Error);
}

C++ :: Checking Existence Of A File In A Directory Using Stat Command

Nov 5, 2014

I am using stat command to check the existence of a file in a directory.

The directory is having some 10K files. I feel the stat() call is expensive as i do not need the structure to be populated.

I want only the existence of the file.

Is there any other alternative faster way to do this in C.

C++ :: Rename Failed With File Name Had Space / Hyphen After Unicode Support

Nov 12, 2013

I intent to use this mechanism for rename the file because the file name consists Unicode characters . I would like to know why the return value of "MoveFileExW" is false for file name consists 'space','hyphen' etc.(sometimes even without a Unicode character).for accepting 'space','hyphen' what type of conversion I would use [I.e.: Does the root cause of failure is due to CP_UTF8 type use].

Code:

//! inputPath & final_inputPath consist source and destination file name and are std::string
//! Both are in same directory F: est_files
std::wstring unicode_input_original;
int unicode_input_length_original = 0

C/C++ :: How To Check If EXE File Runs

May 19, 2014

found out that I had to split my project in two programs (console projects).

I wanna make sure in the main program that the logger runs and if I can, have the main program do commands within the console.

Now how can I do this? is it a header that I have to include? is it a built in feature of c++?

C :: Code To Hit Database And Check File Size

Jan 13, 2015

I have been given a task of checking the size of file in Linux machine using C Program. Below is what I came up with

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
void main(int argc, char **argv) {
FILE *fp;
char ch;
int size = 0;

[Code] .....

But Now I have been asked to modify this code in a way that instead of passing the file name as parameter, I have to make a database connection and fetch the value of the filename and location from the database table and check the size . My program has to repeat this process every ten minutes, which means every ten minutes my program has to hit the database, fetch the value and check the size in the file system.

I heard like I Have to create a Fork Call, and have the child instance run every ten minutes.

C++ :: Spell Checker - Check If Inputted Word Is In Dictionary File On Computer

Jul 31, 2013

Over the last few days, I've been trying to implement a spell checker in c++ that checks if the inputted word is in the dictionary file on my computer. However, as I'm nearing completion of the project, I keep running into more and more errors, some of which I do not understand. My program is complete, albeit, with some minor bad practices (I hard coded a few things just to get the program up and running.For some reason, everything works well until I output spelling suggestions. I type in "mses" (attempting to spell mess) and it returns some strange characters. It does definitely recognize that there are two permutations that match words in the dictionary (however they are both mess due to the algorithm implemented), and I don't understand why? I will work on removing the duplicates after.

// Spell Checker.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.//

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>

C++ :: Getting A File From Designated Location / Grab Value And Make Calculations

Oct 30, 2013

My project is to get a file from a designated location in my computer and not just read, but grab the values from the user and make a count, sum, and average calculation of the numbers in my code. I am using the fstream library and I am trying I did do it, I got the values and calcualated them, however I want the values to be accessed from maybe my desktop or my drive, I want to know how to manipulate my code to get a path like C:UserDesktop and maybe executed from the path input or given. I dont know if this is possible, or easy to do. ALso I did copy some of this code from my teachers examples and I dont know exatly why the variables have to be initilized at zero, and I would like to know a little more on the Bitwise right shift breaker used in line 20 something.

Here is my code below.

#include <iostream>//For avergae functionality
#include <fstream>//For the file commands, such as ifstream and the Bitwise right breakers(<< and >>).
#include <iomanip> // To control the amount of decimals in my results desired.
using namespace std;
int main () {
int aNumber=0; //Initilized at zero because of Stack Overflow:

C/C++ :: Make A Room File Writer For Text Adventuring?

Mar 1, 2015

I'm attempting to make a room file writer for text adventuring. I compartmentalized each variable for the stream, and dealth with the buffer over runs and all that. Now what I would like to do is make the "get_shdesc" function cut it's lines off at the last white space before it hits the 80th character and continue on the next line. I have no errors, and it functions properly so far.

1. Am I attacking this program in the proper manner so far?

2. If not, what should I be doing?

3. If so, what specifically should I read and study on to get the word wrap effect I am looking for.

My code thus far is:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
#include <windows.h>

C :: How To Emulate Object Orientation With Multiple Files And Make File

Feb 13, 2013

how to structure my classes so that they all "wire together" and inherit the proper functions and data that I want them to. I want to have a Car.c and car.h which are "wired" with body.c/body.h, which in turn is wired with a frame.c/frame.h, wheel.c/wheel.h, and driver.c/driver.h.

Each part of the car holds some type of data, mostly ints: The car has a (total) mass and car_name. The body has a mass and color. The frame has a mass. The wheel(s) have a mass and force. [There will be 4 instances of wheel] The driver has a mass and driver_name. Each of these functionalities must come from their respective .c and .h files, and be amalgamated in the car.c and car.h (which should contain all the functionality of its parts). Then, in my main test program, I am to make an instance of car and hardcode in its values of: mass (which comes from the total mass of all of its parts, this is where i start to lose it.

How will I access its parts' masses in the test program?), color (a character array), current position (an integer), current velocity (an integer), and current acceleration (which comes from the total newton force of the 4 wheels, again this is where I start to get very confused). (Then in the test program I am to print out a simulation of this car over a period of 100 seconds, and show its position, velocity, and acceleration at each point (based on the mass, total newton force, and starting position). This part is of course a simple while loop, and is somewhat trivial.)

From what I understand, I will need to allocate memory for all of the data each class holds. Then, using function pointers, as well as #include "X.h" , I will need to somehow link up all of the classes together so that car has access to all of the parts' functions which set, for example, the newton force of each wheel.

We have learned a slight bit about structs, malloc, sizeof, and pointers, but I have not used them to link functionality or data from separate classes together.
