View 1 RepliesI would like to convert a float or double variable into unsigned char variable and back.
float number_float = 23.453f;
unsigned char* number_char = (unsigned char*)malloc(sizeof(float));
number_char = reinterpret_cast<unsigned char*> (&number_float);
float* number_float_0 = reinterpret_cast<float*>(&number_char);
I am not getting the same value back.. why?
I have attempted a couple of different times to open a .txt file in a program, however it always goes to the "file was not opened."

View 2 Replies View Relatedthis is my read/write functions based the read from the last post! then went nuts with it! used the %19s%*s on the write to the file, solved all the probs on the read side! but any refining on this would be great. This is another program that i started with the forums, and started going my own direction!
Code:
void WriteAccount(int account,char *a[])
{
FILE *fptr;
char Memo[20];
char buff[20];
double Amount;
struct tm *sTm;
}

the a[] is a string array with bank account names, and Account is the number on the menu based list.

how do you open a file inside of a void function
this is the code i have
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <sstream>
[Code]....
why this is looping in an error message. I am inputting the entire file name when I run the program and it just keeps falling into my "if(!inputfile)" statement. Let me know if there is anything I'm just not seeing.
#include "File.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
[Code]....
ofstream infile;
infile.open("Input.txt");
if(infile.fail()) {
cout << "Error Opening File in Input" << endl;
system("pause");
exit(1);
}
So I'm trying to see if it fails, but if i change "Input" name would the computer just create a new file name of it for example if i change "Input" to "asdf" the computer is just going to create "asdf" how do i fix it.
My project includes opening and reading a text file ("customers.txt"). This is my text file:

Joe
P 10.02 Y
Mary
r 15.50 N
Dan
U 19.00 y
Victoria
R 6.50 y
Nick
n 0 Y
Vigo
p 18.27 N
I wrote this code, but it seems not to find the text file.
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
ifstream inputFile;
int number;

The code below is used to return a file path.
private string BrowseJournalFile(string startRelativePath)
{
string str = "Journal files (*.log)|*.log|All files (*.*)|*.*";
return PathTools.BrowseFile(startRelativePath, str, this.RootPath);
}
So once I click browse I get something like "E:New Files" But there is this .log file in this folder which I want to automatically store in this path.
Right now I have to click on this .log file and then select open. Is there a way I can directly load the file.I have been trying to use the FileStream but no luck.

I am writing to write a program and performs the following tasks
- Reading a file (txt file contains some temperature values)
- Display the temperature values (contents of the file)
- Calculating the average of the temperature values in the file.
- finds the maximum and minim value of temperature in the file.
The program is user interactive and waits for the user input and process according to his input (choice)
I have managed to complete the program and covered all the expect except the error handling for file opening and reading, although I have managed to do it for the part one part (i.e for the choice == 1)
I can repeat it for the other choices (i.e for 2, 3 ) but I do not want to repeat the code and do it in a different function or do it once for all. While making an attempt I can not handle the rest of the program and all the program turns into a mess.
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <iomanip>
int menu();
int myChoice(char);
char inputValidating();
[Code] .....
Need Error handling for file opening and Reading that is used once, So far I have managed to do it for choice 1

I have an idea which i will try to implement in C++,I want to compress file size through making my own numbering system which is 80-based number, I do really want to know whether this even possible ? I learnet that Hexadecimal uses symbols like A, B, C, D, E, F to represent 10,11,12,13,14,15 -- and that's what i want to do to my own numbering system but in a bigger scale .if possible: How can i use C++ to open a file in Hex mode ?

I'm making a small MFC module that should generate a report (formatted using HTML) and then display it for a user on schedule at 8:30 AM every day. Pretty straightforward stuff.
I compose my report and then save it as a local HTML file in the CSIDL_APPDATA folder. I then use the following calls to display it using the default web browser (Internet Explorer in this case):
Code:
//Error checks are omitted for brevity
CoInitializeEx(NULL, COINIT_APARTMENTTHREADED | COINIT_DISABLE_OLE1DDE);
ShellExecute(NULL, NULL, strSaveFileTo, NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);
This module is run on schedule from the Task Scheduler. (The task is set up to run when a user is logged on, which is all the time for that PC. It is never turned off, put to sleep, etc. That computer has only one user that is never logged off either.)
This works perfectly fine when I test it by setting the task a minute or so in the future. But when the actual task is supposed to run at 8:30 AM, when the user wakes the screen all they see is a blank Internet Explorer page. (Note that if someone refreshes that page by hitting F5, only then my report is shown on the screen.)
So I started looking into it:
1) I checked that the file is properly saved (before calling ShellExecute) by reading it back and by comparing it with the original HTML markup that I saved earlier. It's all correct there.
2) I then checked the power saving options. That computer is set up to show screensaver after 5 minutes and to turn off screen after 25 minutes.
3) The web browser that causes this issue is IE version 11, with the latest updates installed. The operating system is Windows 7 Professional.
And why is IE showing a blank page only when computer is running unattended?

I have two char variables, m_GPSOffset[13] and m_FileName[100]. When m_GPSOffset has a value assigned to it, say for instance +11:25:30. The first entry of the value, in this case +, is always stored in m_FileName. I am clueless on why this is occurring.

I am having problems with passing a block of a char to a variable, so i could print it out.
It gives me an error: value of type *char cannot be assigned to a entity type char.
I have program where i have to check to see if file exist, if it does not then it needs to be created. SO I have a read file that works fine, if th efile exist it reads whats in it, if it does it says the file does not exist. Now Im trying to creata function that creates the file if it doesnt exist. so in my read function when the person enters the name of the file to be checked for..I pass that name to a variable called name..Hoping that I could then pass it into my create file function if it does not exist..and use that variable to pass the name they entered into the createfile array..called filename.. but I am having trouble because i get error when i try to pass from a string name to char array.. even when I change the varialbe name to char, or char [256] it will not work.. I try to fing a way to convert th string to a char using the strncopy function but still no dice..here the code i have for the createfile funciton
void CreateNew(ofstream & FileNew)//Create file
{
char filename[256];
string name;
[Code].....
How can i do this without having to ask the person to enter the file name twice..
