C :: How To Make Custom Program For Packaging Multiple Files In One
Nov 5, 2014
I want to make a custom program for packaging multiple files in one. Not as complicated as ZLIB or others. Consider few files, XML, txt, JPG, OGG, I want them to be added in 1 file. Not visible not readable. Just a datafile. I have some ideas about creating some kind of indexing of the start byte, end byte of each file. But I am still way too far. Can you point me some direction at what should I stress in creating this software. It will be portable since I am planning to use stdlib, stdio only, maybe and string to recreate the filenames from the large chunk datafile.

I am trying to make a custom hotkey on my program via a ini file.
Code:
TCHAR KeyValue[32];
GetPrivateProfileString(("test"), ("test"), ("") ,KeyValue, 32, ("C: est.ini"));
if(GetAsyncKeyState (KeyValue)) // Hotkeys 0x60 VK_NUMPAD0 //Problem here
{
}
Code:
test.ini :
[test]
test=0x60
Error:
invalid conversion from `CHAR*' to `int'
initializing argument 1 of `SHORT GetAsyncKeyState(int)'

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.

I want to make a program that can know the current time and create a new .txt file.For example if its Monday to day then when its Tuesday it crates a new txt file called Tuesday.I really don't know how to go about this.I know i will need to use the time.h library.

Okay, so I think I have just passed the intermediate line in my skill of c++ and my question is how do I make a program that opens unknown files extensions. for example like .plr. Because I see a bunch of files for game modifications like that, that was a good reason I started c++ too.

I've done some research and found that people use Mah metro, though I don't want to use that because I want to make a GUI that is fully mine, so I can do what ever I want to customize it to my liking.
I don't know how to get this done in WinForms....

how to make subroutines and return multiple arrays.Before that, i wrote my program on matlab. could my program to be structured as following?
<header>
initial value of program;
subroutine1() {
calculating the first work;
return 2 or 3 arrays;

I am writing a piece of code that requires me to display the last 1000 lines from a multiple text files (log files). FYI, I am running on Linux and using g++.
I have a log file from which - if it contains more than 1000 lines, I need to display the last 1000 lines. However, the log file could get rotated. So, in case where the current log file contains less than 1000 lines, I have to go to older log file and display the remaining. For e.g., if log got rotated and new log file contains 20 lines, I have to display the 980 lines from old log file + 20 from current log files.
What is the best way to do this? Even an outline algorithm will work.

I'm using multiple C++ files in one project for the first time. Both have need to include a protected (#ifndef) header file. However, when I do that, I get a multiple definition error.
From what I found from research, adding the word inline before the function fixes the error. Is this the right way to do this, and why does it work? Should I make a habbit of just declaring any function that might be used in two .cpp files as inline?

So I have a rather large (for me) project, requiring me to have two .cpp files and a header. Anyway, both of the .cpp files #include the header file, but I recieve linker errors because the variables and functions in the header are declared and defined twice (once in each .cpp file). How am I supposed to do this?

We typically don't bother with massive, monolithic code files that get processed from top to bottom. In the Object Oriented world, code files don't mean much. In fact, in C#, I could have multiple classes defined in one file, or have one class split across several files.

I am struggling with the concept of having different ccp's and header files. I made a really bad example project for representation, but basically my question is are any of the #includes unnecessary that I have? Technically it functions, but if I am doing it wrong I want to prevent myself from starting bad habits in the future. My code just basically uses strings and sets a name and prints it. My code is really bad, but I wanted to just use includes in such a way for a quick example.
//MAIN.CCP
#include "functions.h"
using namespace std;
int main()

I was trying out programs based on extern and as i understand, this is useful when accessing variables across multiple files having only one definition. But i tried a simple program as below without "extern" and thing seem to work when i expected it would fail during linking process
Code:
file5.c
1 #include <stdio.h>
2 #include "var.h"
3
4 int main() {
5
6 printf("
File5.c a = %d", a);
[Code] .....
As i have included "var.h" in all header files without extern, "int a" would be included in both the .c file and during linking, compiler should have thrown a warning or error message but it compiles file without any issue. Shouldn't var.h have the following "extern int a"?

I have a big un-editable program, A, which I need to run for like a 1000 different input files. It takes about 15 minutes for each file, so a little parallelisation wouldn't hurt.
I have installed openmpi and it works fine. I have made a small program, B, which selects an input file, moves it to another directory, calls program A with the path to the selected input file and then - when A is done - selects a new input file etc. It should loop until there are no more files in the initial directory.
The problem is this: When I have several processors they might pick the same file and that leads to errors. I have a working program, but it is not pretty.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <mpi.h>
#include <dirent.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
int num_procs, procs_id, i, exit;
struct dirent *ent;
[Code]...
Every time a processor tries to move a file that another processor has just moved, the output shows an error message before looping to the next file and trying again. It works, but it is a bit annoying. So my questions are:
1) Can I switch off the error message somehow?
2) Is there a better way to do this?

So say I create a header file which contains a list of structs, and I want to use these structs through out my source and some of my classes... how would I accomplish this?
When I try to do it via #include, I get re-definition errors, due to the nature of #pragma once. If I switch to #ifndef then I lack defenitions in files other than the source.
Is there a way to define things such as structs across multiple files, which doesn't lead to re-definition errors, and doesn't involve manually re-created all the structs for each file?

I am currently working on a C++ program for school. I am actually not finding too much difficulty in constructing the functions, enum-types, arrays and structs, however, I am finding great difficulty in using on ifstream variable to open multiple files.
I have posted the entire code that I have so far (even though I have pinpointed the issue to not properly opening the second file in ifstream).
I spent a couple of hours getting rid of certain functions/procedures, loops and variables and I get the same output (if what I removed doesnt crash it). I also get the same output whether I "open" the second file or not (meaning I removed all of the code for it and got the same output).
Here is the code (it's not finished because I am stuck on this file issue). It's a bit messy since I am now in debug mode versus program mode:

I have been working on code for quite some time and am able to successfully read in a text document and take certain words and information that I need. The issue is that I need to read in close to 100 plus documents and was wondering how I could read in the multiple documents. I thought about creating a structure of arrays and have each text document be an element and walk through taking each document but I am not sure how this works.

I am trying to get variables that are global to multiple files. I have mananged to make constant variables that are global but maybe not in the best way. In the header i have the constant variables being defined:
const int variable_Name = 5;
And the cpp file:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
#include "vars.h"
int main ( ) {
cout << variable_Name<< endl;
system ("pause");
return 0;
}
Is there a better way to do this and to make the variables able to be changed within the cpp files.

I am trying to create n number of files (n being an integer), by passing the name through a character array (and obviously changing its value at each iteration). But the problem is that the program compiles and executes but not a single file is created.
Here is my code snippet.

{
int a=0,n=0;
char *str1;

I have attached my code below and I am stuck in what to do next to make an instance of the dateCls so I can use the instance to assign the open date. By instance I mean like create an instance of the class, like this: dateCls myFirstInstance; And everything in the dateCls I can access through the . operator. So far my code looks like this..what I should do? Lastly, I am using derived data from I think the bankAccountCls.
I need the main program to output this data:
dateCls openDate(01, 03, 2012, "open date");
saveAccountCls s1("1001", 300.50, 0.12);
s1.setDate(openDate);
s1.print();
s1.deposit(100, 01, 05, 2012);
s1.print();
s1.withdraw(50, 01, 10, 2012);
