C :: Fixing Command Prompt File Input

Oct 21, 2014

Im writing program for a rail fence cipher that should run from the command prompt and take in two .txt files, one containing the key for how many rails there should be (between 1 and 25) and the other containing the message to be encrypted. Both of those txt files should be entered from the command prompt, taken in with the program's arguments, not asking the user for input I think I have the logistics of how to get the program to encrypt it worked out, but every time I try to run the program it keeps on crashing.

The program should run when I enter this:./railcipher samplekey.txt samplemessage.txt

I'm pretty sure my issue lies within my first few lines of code, with the main(), or with the FILE*, but I dont know what I would need to change it to for it to work properly.

Code:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv[])

[Code]....

C++ :: Opens New Command Prompt Window For Input?

Oct 8, 2014

If I compile code which uses cin using the command prompt, then run the compiled program a new window opens when it reaches the cin line of code, for the input. If there is no cin used then all printing happens in the original window. Is there a way to stop this behavior of the opening of a new window?

C++ :: Command Prompt Will Not Disappear After Input Names?

Nov 12, 2014

Here is a code snippet which is a bit annoying.

Code:
cout << "Put in the names of people, press q to exit" << '
';
while((cin >> people_inp) && (people_inp != "q")){
Person *p = newPerson(people_inp);

[Code] ....

The problem of this code is when you put in the names(via cin) and press enter command prompt will disappear. What should I do so that Command prompt will not disappear after I input some names? I mean it disappears without you pressing a key.

I'm trying to develop a programme which, amongst other things, prompts the user to enter the filename which is to be opened. This is what my code looks like currently:

char filename[20];
FILE *myfile;

printf("Enter the full file name you would like to open:");
scanf("%s", filename);

However, this only ever returns File Not Found - the file is stored in the same directory as the program, and I have tried looking up this issue online, to no avail ....

C++ :: Console Application Should Be Like A Command Prompt

Feb 10, 2015

my C++ console application should be like a command prompt. There are "command lines" to execute in the command prompt.Here are my main prompts for spotlight:

Encode - New data entry
View - Read data from text file
Search - Find record from text file
Update - Save changes per text line from the existing text file
Delete - Delete lines from the text file

Now, I manage to do the tasks for Encode, View, and Search..But unfortunately, not in Update..I've been working this for a week already..

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "iostream"
#include "string"
#include "fstream"
using namespace std; //to omit the std
}

C++ :: Make Program That Has GUI Other Than Command Prompt?

Nov 22, 2013

I am looking to make a program for C++ that has a GUI other than command prompt. The program I am trying to create will ask certain questions and display the results at the end after all questions are asked and have 2 copies of the results one over the other that can be printed as a receipt. Basically I am wondering can I do this using C++. Also I want another GUI other than command prompt as well. Something close to what windows uses if possible.

C :: Fixing User Input Errors In A For Loop

Mar 6, 2015

So I have to write a step in my program that reads in up to 8 variables. Simple, but if the User submits an invalid value, I have to give an error message and ask him to re-enter the value until he enters a valid number. Here's my while loop that works perfectly:

Code:

while (true) {
printf("
Enter the mark given by Judge 1: ");
scanf("%f", &m1);
if ((m1 >= 0.0) && (m1 <= 10.0)) {
break;
}

[code]...

I'm not sure what to write in the else statement to make the programme understand that it has to repeat the exact same step but without adding 1 to index. Is this possible or do I have to suck it up and just use while loops instead? I'm very new to programming.

Visual C++ :: Application That Process Multiple Files Through Command Prompt Call

Dec 22, 2012

I am making an application that processes multiple files (typically > 500) through a command prompt call. The way I start the command prompt app is by looping using a call to CreateProcess for each file that is to be processed. It works fine, except that I somehow loose 'connection' to my app so that

1: Windows says that the app. is 'Not Responding'
2: The Cprogress bar in my app is not updated before all files have been processed, even though there is a CreateProcess call and a Cprogress.StepIt() from the app for each file that needs processing.

I somehow suspect that the CPU gets swamped... I do not want that Windows starts to say that my app is 'not responding' and I want my Cprogress dialog bar to update according to the number of files that are progressed through.

I wonder if multithreading is the OK way to go instead of just kicking of series of CreateProcess calls? Maybe my CreateProcess is not ending correctly? It seems as if my app is 'not regaining control' before very late. The app never crashes though.

My CreateProcess code is listed below, maybe there can be a problem with it, or maybe I should do things in a different way? My app basicaly works as it never crashes, but with above mentioned problems it is NOT a pro solution...

void CMultiFilerDlg::ProcessFile(CString pdfFile) {
int i=0;
DWORD ProcID;
// Open file in text mode:
STARTUPINFO si;
PROCESS_INFORMATION pi;
char cmdArgs[2052];

C++ :: How To Prompt User Input Only Letters (a-z)

Mar 1, 2013

How do I have the user enter only letters?

#include <iostream>
#include <limits>
int getInt() {
int x = 0;
while(!(cin >> x))

[Code] ....

But this function prompts the user to only input integer values. I was thinking if I could maybe try tweaking with this one so that the user could only enter letters..no luck though. So how can I have the user input letters only?
