C++ :: Read A String Of Unknown Length From Stdin
Oct 10, 2014
I want to read a string of unknown length from stdin. I tried to follow the approach from this link. URL....My code is like this:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int n;
cin >> n;
cout << "The value of n is " << n << endl;
}
[code]......
What I have noticed is that if I take integer input from cin (cin >> n;) in the above code before getline, the control does not stop on getline to take str as input from the console. If I don't do (cin >> n) before getline then the control stops on getline and takes the string as input.What is the best way to read from console multiple strings of unknown length in combination with the integers?

I manage to split this str = "abc,def,123"
to s1 = "abc", s2 = "def", s3 = "123" with this piece of code using find and substr.
string str, s1, s2, s3;
getline(cin, str);
unsigned pos1 = str.find(",");
[Code] ....
But what should I do if the len of the string is unknown ?
For example, str = "abc,def,123,ghi,jkl,456,mno" and so on...

I call a function that returns a string, and I can print it out fine, but I want to test the result of the function to see if it returns 0. But I can't just call the function again (GetNextToken(b)) because it will generate a different token. I can't allocate space for the string because I'm not sure what the size of the returned string is going to be.
Basically I want to see if the GetNextToken(b) returns 0, and if it doesn't then print the string. And running GetNextToken(b) again will give a different result.
Code:
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
SomeStruct* b = CreateStruct(argv[1],argv[2]);
printf("HERE %s", GetNextToken(b));

I have a pre-declared array which sorts strings to it's alphabetic order and want to change it so it reads from stdin.
char *array[] = {"aaa", "ccc", "bbb", "ddd"}
I tried doing something like this:
for (i = 0; i < length; i++)
scanf("%s", &array[i]);
I just can't bring it to work. Another thing is, the input is a a bunch of strings separated by commas and ends with a period. Since I have to make a working C model which gets translated to assembly language later on I can't use functions like strtok.

Is it possible to create a dynamic char array on the fly directly from stdin? I do not want to create a fixed length array before hand and then copy contents of it into a malloc created array.
Code: //[1]
char line[MAX1];
gets(line);
[Code]....
I could do either [1](buffer overflow problem) or [2] and then goto [3]. But both will have a problem if the input is more than the size MAX1(use defined).
Is it possible to do something of the effect of readLine() method of BufferedReader class in Java or the Console.readLine in .NET? Is it possible to peek into stdin and see the size of the input and then creat an array of the same exact size?

For an assignment I have to write a program which basically converts 8 bit binary numbers to ASCII and outputs the assembled text. Here's the catch:
The 8-bit binary numbers are provided by some external file (which only contains 8 bit binary numbers); the name and hence length is not known. The external file is called with a pointer upon execution
(./"conversion program" < external_file.in).
I'm getting the 8 bits as a string, calculate/convert decimals, output char type. HOW do I know when to stop the loop? If I just pick an insanely high number I get random stuff at the end; no boundaries obviousely lead to an infinite loop. Can I determine the lenght of this random ext file somehow nonetheless?
Is it possible to create a vector which dynamically adjusts itself until there are no more strings = end of the file?

I have an assignment where I am trying to get the frac bits of a IEEE number representation. The number of exp and frac bits are given as parameters from the main, but I am unsure what bit mask to use as a one-size-fits mask.

So I'm making setTimeout and setInterval functions.
I have this remember function (that is part of Timing class) which takes a function pointer and a void pointer, which are remembered in that object.
Another (timing) function of that object is called in every loop of the program and when specific time passes that function calls the remembered function whit the remembered void pointer as argument.
The problem is that the functions that need to be called require unknown multiple parameters, so what I need to do is make a new class that will store the needed arguments. I make the function that needs to be called and that storage object and pass pointers to them to my remember function, when the remembered function is called it stores the data from storage object in new variables and dose it's thing.

I have to optimize a code for below scenario. I am reading stdin (a file redirected to stdin) character by character. How many chars are going to come is not known. After every few chars there is a seaparator. e.g $ as below
rhhrkkj$hghjhdf$ddfkrjt
While reading, if the separator arrives I'm processing the string stored before that separator and then continue reading stdin in same fashion, till EOF. I am using getc(stdin) to read chars.
Using gprof I can see most of the program time is spent inside main() , for this reading logic. Rest of the program is just some insert and search operations. I am getting time of 0.01 secs at the moment, want to reduce further.

I would like to understand a function on strings. Below is a code that I took from my teacher where the user inputs a string and prints out the length of the string.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main() {
char str[100];
int i = 0;
[Code] ....
Now I understand that it returns the count in "int" so my question is:
Let's say i declared
Code: int count = 0;
at the beginning of the code and then made
Code: count = strlen(str);
why wouldn't i have the same result? Is there a way to do it also?

In this code, i declared a string constant and trying to print the length of string. I know that if i write char a1[7] or char a1[] than it runs and give aggregate output, but in this case it is giving double length of string.
Code:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<string.h>
void main()
}

i have to read a file with between 5 and 10 pairs of numbers, each on a different line. i can read the file, and wrote something to save the length of the file as a variable, but when i use it i start returning crazy data. the problem is in the do while loop and i want to change the i< in the for loop to "lines" so the code stops when the last digit is read. if i use i<10 the file has extra digits is the file is only 8 or 5 pairs of numbers.
FILE *Fpointout;
FILE *Fpointin = fopen ("test.txt","r"); //read this one
Fpointout = fopen ("out.txt","w"); //write this one
if (Fpointin == NULL) //if no file in source {
printf ("File does not exist."); //tell user it is not there

so basically my project goes like this:
Write a C++ program that reads in two positive integers that are 20 or fewer digits in length and outputs the sum of the two numbers.
Your program will read the digits as values of type char so that the number 1234 is read as four characters '1', '2', '3' and '4'. After they are read into the program, the characters are changed to values of type int. The digits will be read into a partially filled array and you might find it useful to reverse the order of the elements in the array after array is filled with data from the keyboard.
Your program will perform the addition by implementing the usual pencil and paper addition algorithm. The result of the addition is stored in an array of size 20 and the result is written to screen. if the result of the addition is an integer with more than maximum number of digits(that is more than 20 digits) then your program should issue a message saying that it has encountered "integer overflow".
You should be able to change the maximum length of the integers by changing only one globally defined constant. Include the loop that allows the user to continue to do more additions until the user says the program should end. What I have so far is
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
using namespace std;
void reverseArr(int a[], int liu);
void addLargeInt(int a1[], int liu1, int a2[], int liu2, int sum[], int& liu_sum);
int main() {
cin.get(next);

I'm trying some codes about string arrays and taking array length. But i have some problems. I can't get length of string and can't send to a function.
------------------------
#include<iostream>
#include<cstring>
#include<string>
using namespace std;
void GetLength(string);
std::string Words[]={"table","gun","programming"};
int main()
{std::string InputWord;
[Code]...
And how can send Matrix to other function?

I can't find any method of retrieving the length of an array except for doing this:
string first[] = {"a","be","see"};
int length = sizeof(first)/sizeof(first[0])
This is a very unconventional way of getting the length of an array.
first->length() would return 1 because it returns the number of letters in the first element of the array (which actually makes no logical sense).
first.size() would return 1 aswell as it's practically the same thing.
Since getting the length of an array is such a fundamental feat, how come I can't find a decent method of doing it?
Is there no buildt in method for this? If there is not, why has it not been implemented in the std?

The input consists of one or more packets followed by a line containing only # that signals the end of the input. Each packet is on a line by itself, does not begin or end with a space, and contains from 1 to 255 characters.
it said 1 to 255 characters
i have to use getline(cin,str);
i tried str[255] but some error happen

I am stuck here.
printf(" Enter a line of Morse Code for decrypting");
scanf("%s",phr);
len=strlen(phr);
for(a=0;a<36;a++) {
if(strcmp(phr, morse[a])==0)
printf("%c", alpha[a]);
};printf(" ");
The output :
[output] Enter line to encrypt:
..... -.... --...
converting...
5 [/output]
It should read all code, including null. between coded letter one space, between coded word three spaces.
The output should be:
[output]
56 7 [/output]

PHP Code:
int processString(xxx)
{
//do something
return non-null terminated string length
}
To make the function work better we change its internals
PHP Code:
int processString(xxx)
{
//do something
return null terminated string length
}
This phenomenon can be observed by use of mutibyte to wide char conversions, string copy , concatenation functions of MS etc ....
Should I minus one in the return value of the second function to match both versions ?

What I'm trying to do is to assign the length of a string to an integer variable. This is what i tried, it did not work.
Code:
printf("Enter a string
");
fgets(test_pass, 30, stdin);
strcpy(x,(strlen(test_pass)));
printf("%d", x);
This was just a test, and it did not compile. How to do this?
