C++ :: Ncurses - Highlighting A Line Of Characters On Screen
Oct 25, 2013
I am writing a program using ncurses that needs a function to highlight a line of characters on the screen. I started writing this function that took the x & y coordinates of a character on the screen and the length of characters after that to highlight. Whilst doing this I noticed that if I highlighted the last character in a row (maxX-1 in my example) it highlighted that character (as expected), and if I highlighted just the character before that (maxX-2) it also works. But if I do both, it highlights the whole row/line. Also, if there are characters in those spaces other than the 'space' character it works too, but for my program I need to be able to highlight empty spaces as well.
To highlight I am using inch() to get the character and addch() to print it because I am using some alternate characters that chgat() replaces with normal characters.
#include <ncurses.h>
int main(){
initscr();
start_color();
use_default_colors();
curs_set(0);
noecho();
I wanted to make the terminal screen bigger in my NCurses program. Let's say if the defaults are 25 LINES and 80 COLS, I want to set them to 40 LINES and 120 COLS.
I've tried resizing all windows, but that did not work, because the actual terminal (console) was not resized. Then I found functions resizeterm and newterm, but they did not work. As far as my understanding goes resizeterm only updates NCurses information with the current configuration, while the window itself is not actually modified.
NCurses man page wrote:The function resizeterm resizes the standard and current windows to the specified dimensions
If I haven't made myself clear ( I sometimes make a mess of things... ), another example would be that I want my program to be fullscreen when I start it. Is this possible? It should be, I found a fullscreen NCurses program once, but the code was too confusing for me to understand.
Having read about things like SIGWINCH, I assume you must define a method for resizing the terminal screen yourself, I don't know where to start?
How to move a character (an arrow or any other character) on screen using keyboard? I'm actually a beginner and have only wrote simple (starter's) programs in C++. It would be great without using any external library which is not included in C++ by default (in other words, using plain C++).
make a text file full of vocabulary wordsRead in that file and allow the user to specify the .doc file (should be simple)Go through the .doc file and highlight all the words that appear in the .txt file green.Open the .doc after the process is complete.
After I accomplish that, I can try to make more tweaks by maybe using a database instead for my vocabulary words and implementing error checking to be sure there are no duplicate entries, specify a different color for certain words instead of using just one color, etc. First and foremost, however, I want to know if the bare basics would be possible. I'm new to C++, but I have about 2yrs of Java under my belt, so I should be able to catch on relatively fast.
I have a text file where in each line is 3 words and 2 int type numbers. I'm doing search by word and I want to print out to the screen the whole line where that word was found (the words is repeated in some lines). My search looks like this:
Code: #include<iostream> #include<string> #include<fstream> #include<stdlib.h> #include <vector> using namespace std; int main(){ vector <string> words; string str, paieska;
I seem to be missing a concept or 2 here ... I am tasked with writing a program that reads text from a file and outputs each line to the screen as well as to another file PRECEDED by a line number ...
In addition, I have to Print the line number at the start of the line and right-adjusted in a field of 3 spaces ...
Follow the line number with a colon then 1 space, then the text of the line.
Another kicker, is I have to grab the data 1 character at a time and write code to ignore leading blanks on each line.
Here is what I have so far:
#include <iostream> #include <conio.h> #include <fstream> #include <string> #include <cstdlib> #include <cctype> using namespace std; int main() { char next; int count = 0;
This is a small program that reads a line from the screen, takes the ASCII values from the entered text, and edits it. Next, the ASCII values are reinterpreted (am i misspelling?) as text, and displayed. However, my final output has (allways?) at least 7 characters, even if you enter only one. I'm also trying to accomplish, that the part of the string which isn't filled, will be printed empty. In spaces.
compiled with -std=c99.
Code: #include <stdio.h> int main(){ int maxsize; printf("How long is your message?
I'm trying to print Chinese/unicode characters to a line printer(EPSON LQ-2090) using the writePrinter method in c++.
ANSI characters print fine, but when I throw the buffer of widechar Chinese characters at it, they come out like garbage/ANSI chars.
while debuging string shows chinese characters but in memory it shows ANSI characters not chinese and these ANSI characters are get printed on printer.
Note that if I change the DocInfo datatype parameter to "TEXT" instead of "RAW" then also the Chinese characters donot print.
Is there a way to get Chinese or unicode characters to print correctly?
I'm makeing a card game with ncurses. I have all the card and player objects in order but i'm stuck trying to get the gui to work.
I'm using multiple windows for different players deck and pile. Now to the problem: I can get all the windows to show with borders in the console but i can't get any content printed in the windows and I rally can't see why!?
I have been reading the guide on [URL] but I don't get any further on the problem right now.
PS. the complete code incl. Makefile can be found at: github.com/DanBrehmer/cardGame #ifndef GUI_H #define GUI_H #include <ncurses.h>
so my question is i want to print characters,no string just an array of characters,i do this but it s not working,maybe i have to put the '' at the end?
Code:
int main() { int i; char ch[5]; for(i = 0; i < 5; i++) { scanf("%c",&ch[i]);
Im supposed to find the common characters between two string characters, assuming that the user wont input duplicate letters like ddog. When I run my code I get an output of a question mark upside down. Here is my code with comments on what each part is supposed to do
#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> int main(){ char str1[20], str2[20],remp = ' '; int size1,i,j,temp; printf ("Input the first string");
I have an array of characters. I am trying to find "houston". The only way I can think of to do this is to use a for loop and check each individual character. Is there an easier way to do this?
char string[] = "Fishing tourism miami atlanta dallas houston";
I need to write a ANSI program to print out each command line argument on a separate line using a for-loop. also it need to print the name of the executable .so far I have
Code:
#include <stdio.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { int i; printf("")
l need to write a program which writes out its command line arguments in reverse order one per line. The output from the program should look like this:
% a.out Two roads diverged in a yellow wood wood yellow a in diverged roads Two
I am trying to read a file line by line and then do something with the informations, so my method looks like this:
Code: void open_file(char *link) { FILE *file = fopen(link, "r"); if (file == NULL) { fprintf(stderr, "Could not open file. "); exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
[Code] ....
1) The first complain of valgrind is at the line where I use fgets and its telling me (invalid write of size x), but I have allocated my line to 56000 and the read line is shorter, why is there a write size error then :S?
2) at the line where I realloc where I try to shrink the space he's telling me: Address .... is 0 bytes inside a block of size 56000, But I know i need only this space so why is there a write over space error :S??
I need to read lines from one file and copy them line by line into another file using dynamic memory allocation. It compiles but gives me a seg fault. Why/How?
There are numbers of lines connected to each other. I've extracted the line start point and end points but i am confused how to compare the end point of one line with the start point of adjoining line.
I'm using fgets which will read a single line at a time, but unlike fgets I don't want it to return the new line char ( ) ?I want to be able to use printf to display the lines next to each other.
