C++ :: Input File Directory From The Console?
Aug 19, 2014
Convert this code into one where you can input the file directory from the console?
#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN // prevent windows.h from including "kitchen sink"
#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main()
{LPCSTR Application = "C:Program FilesWindows Media Playerwmplayer.exe";
// Media file extension must be provided
// Paths are quoted
[Code] ....
This code works but the directory can only be changed from the code not the console.

I am trying to create a simple interface on console to allow to input some values to some variables. For ex:
int main() {
double a = 1.5;
double b = 2.5;
double c = 3.5;
string x;
[Code] ....
However, I want these three to display at the same time (now they display one by one), and in the console window I can move the cursor between input place of a, b and c with "arrow key" of keyboard.

Alright, so to better myself with network logic I've decided to make a small net game.
I need to input commands to the console as well as output status updates at the same time. I'd prefer to write a gui interface for that, but I'd rather work with WinAPI as little as possible (I mean, look at the way it's designed...).
I'd like to do this with standard operations, limiting dependencies is a must for me.

I want some people to see my C++ program, enter inputs (they can enter number 1, 2, 3, etc) as CIN, and then the program runs as it would if they were sitting in my place.
I have seen a few places which try to do this e.g.
[URL]
The problem is the CIN is not fully featured. For example in the first website you have to enter the input before you run the program. So that would not work for a program where CIN was being done all the time.
So I can get a domain, ask them to telnet into the Linux shell and compile and run my c++ Demo program. Is that the best way? Thats the worst case. I send them the .cpp file and they'll have to run and compile it on their own machine.
The best case is that they click on a link, get an online console and interact with it like they would with a real input/output c++ interface.how this can be done?

I'm having a little problem with std:fstream - in my program, the user selects the location of a file which I want to remember. So, I have something like this:
Code: std::string fileLocation;
//Code here creates an 'open file' dialog box which lets the user choose which file to open.
//The string 'fileLocation' now contains the path to the chosen file.
std::ofstream prefs("prefs.txt");
if (prefs.is_open())
{
prefs << fileLocation;
prefs.close();
}
This works fine if the file chosen is in the same directory as the program, however, if they try to choose a directory outside of where the program is kept, it saves the text file into that directory instead of the same one as the program. So, it looks like outputting a directory into an ofstream actually changes the location to which the file is saved.
Is there a way to save the file directory to a text file using ofstream and still have the text file save in the same directory as the program?

I need my Unix program to generate a directory with a format like this: "hinesro.<pid>". I have some code that mostly works, except for the directory ends up with a question mark on the end, like this: "hinesro.12345?". I need it to just display the directory without this question mark. Here is my code:
Code:
// Using headers sys/types.h, sys/stat.h, unistd.h, and stdio.h
int pid = getpid();
char prefix[] = "hinesro.";
char fileName[0];
sprintf(fileName, "%s%d
", prefix, pid);
[Code]...

Using cin.sync() works great so far, but my program still breaks if you copy something with multiple lines into the console.
string test = "";
while(true) {
cin.sync();
getline(cin, test );
cout << endl << "test: " << test << endl;
}
However, if you were to copy this:
1
2
3
and paste it into the program, the output would be1
2
3
test: 1
test: 2
And if you press enter one more time:1
2
3
test: 1
test: 2
test: 3
The 3 finally pops out.

and when i try to compile :
gcc -O9 -I ../../include/ -L ../../lib/ -o test test.c thr.o -lm -lthread

I'm quite new to C++ and got a problem of reading some files from a directory. All files is pure text, and I have no problem in reading these.
My problem is that I always have to read the oldest file without knowing the filename, and then move it to another directory and so on. Is it possible to use the timestamp instead of the filename to access the right file - read it and then move it to another directory?

I'm trying to write a program that opens a directory and for each file in directory,it creates a thread. Inside of the thread,it reads the numbers in file.(one number in one line)And then calculates the average of these numbers. I write something like this;
void *calculate(FILE *piece){
int a,k=0,s=0,ort;
while(!feof(ayri)) {
a=fgetc(ayri);
s=s+a;
[Code] ....
When I run the programme,i get lots of errors like 'segmentation error' and some stuff about pthread_create. And I don't think the 'calculate' function is right.I don't know the right way to read numbers line by line.

I'm reading from stdin a line. With that line, I should open a new textfile with the first letter of that line on a certain directory. My code is the following :
Code:
int main() {
char line[BUFSIZ];
FILE *ptr_file;
int x;
while(fgets(line,BUFSIZ,stdin) != NULL){
[Code] ....
char caminho[] is the directory in which I want to create the text file and chave will be the first letter of the line in stdin.
How am I supposed to use strcat to get these two together in a string to then use ptr_file =fopen(caminho, "w");

I have two questions about C programming here :
1. I want to make a file in the program directory that can't be deleted by user out of the program make that file.for example if I make a file named "123.xyz" by the program named "text.exe" and then exit test.exe ,if I tried to delete the file 123.xyz I faced the error and I could not do it but by the test.exe program that make that file.
2. I heard about a function called "Parbegin()".any way i want to know is there any possible way to run two or more functions of a file.c together,like the parbegin function did an do in OS?

I want to write a single line to a file and upload it as a .txt file to a server directory . I know the traditional way to upload a local file to a server
public bool ftpTransfer(string fileName){
try {
string ftpAddress = "test.com";
string username = "test";
string password = "test";
[Code] ....
is there anyway to change this so that I can write the contents of the file through the program and upload it directly without having a local file?

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.
