C++ :: Strcmp Function - Comparing String Data From Two Different Files
Dec 20, 2013
I am having a slight issue with the strcmp function. I am comparing string data from two different files. I want the function to output a set of information if the strings are the same and a different set of data if the strings are different. My issue is, the function outputs the data that's the same but not different.
I had an else statement that compared the data if it was NOT equal but it only duplicated the data in the file.
One file is a listing of 100 books with 10 lines of information and an assigned market. The second file is a listing of the markets contained in the books file. However, the books file has a market that is not located in the markets file. The "missing" market is what is not priting or displaying.
// final project2 file
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
const int ARRAY_SIZE = 500;
const int MARKET_ARRAY = 6;
ifstream infile, infile2;
ofstream outfile;

I am trying to compare strings (char*) using strcmp but I am having a hard time doing it with boost::bind. It compiles but it crashes when I run it.
I have a std::vector<boost::shared_ptr<DeviceInfo>> cMonitoredDevices and one cCurrentDevices. I used a typedef DeviceContainer for std::vector<boost::shared_ptr<DeviceInfo>>.
DeviceInfo is a simply struct that contains a char[128] Name (and other fields not important for this issue) that I want to use to compare.
So I am trying to find the DeviceInfo (based on Name) that are in cMonitoredDevice but not in cCurrentDevices. My problem is retrieving the Name value for the strcmp. Here is what I have so far
for(DeviceContainer::iterator pDevice = m_cMonitoredDevices.begin();
pDevice != m_cMonitoredDevices.end(); pDevice++) {
if (std::find_if(cCurrentDevices.begin(), cCurrentDevices.end(),
boost::bind(&strcmp, boost::bind(&boost::shared_ptr<DeviceInfo>::value_type::Name, _1),
(*pDevice)->Name) == 0) == m_cMonitoredDevices.end()) {
}
}

why strcmp() doesn't return true when comparing a string constant with a string that was acquired via a linked list. By the way, the data in the linked list was taken from a text file. Does that imply that there's a new line () character in the string from the linked list?
Code:
struct Node{
char ACNO[15];
struct Node *next;

I'm a novice with C programming and i have to solve an error in the following code. The code works like you enter a password called "uoc" and it shows as OK. But surprisely when you entered another password as "Cambridge" it works fine too.
I think that the problem is in the array declaration but i'm checking resources and no success!
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
struct {
char str[8];
char ok;
} data;

I have trouble comparing two strings with strcmp. The bold part of the code are the parts that are not working and i hope somebody can explain to me what i did wrong. Goal of the code is to compare a city name with the name of already created cities and when two of them match to creat a Street between them. Depending on the street pointer different streets can be created
my vector containing all already created cities (it seem to work)
std::vector<city*> citylist;//all cities
find city using strings and creating a road between them:
bool Map::add_street(Street *street, const string firsttown , const string secondtown) {
city* hilfs1=Map::find_city(erste);
city* hilfs2=Map::find_city( zweite);
if (hilfs1==NULL || hilfs2==NULL)
{return false ;} // Problem :both pointers are always NULL
[Code] ....
Here is also my implementation of the getname function :
std::string city::getname() {
return this->name;
}

I'm trying to compare two data files character by character to see if they are the same. If the files are different, the program should print out the line numbers of where they do not match. So far, I have the part where it returns 'T' for when the files are the same and 'F' when they are not. But how should I start where the program prints out the line number where the characters are different? I am thinking of an array but nor sure how to start it.

I'm having an error when trying to use the strcmp function. Here's the jist of the code I'm working with:
Code:
class Seller
{
public:
Seller();
Seller( char [], char[], char [], double );
[Code] ....
I'm getting a
"[Error] cannot convert 'Seller::getID' from type 'char* (Seller:: )()' to type 'const char*'"
on this line of code:
"if (strcmp(sellerArray[i].getID, sellerArray[j].getID) < 0) "
How do i have this method able to compare these values in my seller array? Granted, there is more to the code and things actually in the seller array at this point. Is there something I'm not seeing??

I'm trying to input a html file and copy everything from that file to a new html file with some changes. I need to read the html file word by word and compare them to a file with some keywords. If a keyword matches a word in the html file then it will add italic tags around that word in the output html file. As it is now it doesn't output anything.
Logically I want to read a word from the html file and then compare it to every keyword and output the result.
fileIn = original html file
keyword = keywords file
outFile = html file writing to
std::string str;
std:: string word;

I wrote a program that reads a list from a file and stores it in a string type vector. Now, I want the user to input a word so that the program can search the vector to see if that word already exists. I have used every possible way of reading input from the console and storing it in order to compare with the vector but it never results in a match. When I print the input string and the vector string they are exactly the same thing (or at least print to the console as if they were). I've tried using getline; using cin direct to a string var; using cin to a char array and then casting to string using string str(arr); I even added a newline at the end just in case and STILL I cannot get a match.
vector <string> currentSet; //read a list in from a file and has 9 items in it
cin.ignore();
string line;
getline(cin, line);
if(line == vector[0]){//if printed to console line is HEAT and vector[0] is HEAT
cout<<"match"<<endl;
}

I am stuck in this program, Be given a string of chars, where each single char belongs to the following alphabet: a..zA..Z0..9 (So, in the string there are only lowercases, uppercases and digits. No blank, no comma, ...). For every char of the given alphabet, count how many times in the string
1-- the char belong to a sequence of identical chars whose length is at least three (i.e.: in the string cc74uyrpfccc348fhsjcccc3848djccccc484jd for three times the character 'c' satisfies this condition)
Code:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<string.h>
[Code]...
2-what is the longest substring of characters strictly rising interm of ASCII code(the following is greater (>) of the previous)
3- what is the longest substring of successive characters interm of given string rannge (i.e.: fhkjshdfruytyzABCDEfglsj => 7)

I am wondering if there is a way to compare two strings that aren't identical with each other.
instance:
str1="ABC123";
str2="A****3";
if(str1==str2) {
cout << "It's a match";
}

My program will scan a message sent over Steam (An online game distributor ) and I want it to check if the Message contains one of the elements in the array. I want it to compare the String of the message to the values in the String array. I have tried looking into it but have unfortunately found nothing that would go along with my program outline. Here is my code so far:
if (add == true) {
string[] itemNames = { "keys", "tickets", "nametags", "descriptiontags" };
string[] splitmessage = message.Split(' ');
foreach (string word in splitmessage) {
int strNumber;
[Code] .....
I am hoping for this to look like the picture of the code I wrote in the Attachments. [URL] .....

I'm writing a code generator that produces a function from the strings to the ints. I'll be using the generated code as a "from string to enum" utility. For example:
Code: enum Color {
Red, Green, Blue, Banana
};
// The definition of colorFromString is generated somewhere.
Color colorFromString(const std::string & s);
[Code].....
The implementation of the generated code is a trie. I've seen implementations in the past (including the one at work that I'd like to replace).
Anyway, say you need to compare the region of the string
Code: const char s[] = "holiday"; from index 3 until before index 6 against the string "ida".
I can see two bits of code that my generator could produce. One is
Code: bool hasIda = std::equal(s + 3, s + 6, "ida"); and the other is
Code: bool hasIda = s[3] == 'i' && s[4] == 'd' && s[5] == 'a';
The existing code generator uses the latter method, claiming (I think) that the generated instructions are more efficient on some architectures. Is there any way to determine which is better generally, or do I have to examine the assembly produced on all target platforms?

I'm looking to take in an array of less than 50 strings, and I want to find all of the unique words in that array (omitting the words that are repeated) and then outputting the unique words and unique word count. My code compiles, but my unique array is couting all of the words contained in the original array regardless of uniqueness.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
using namespace std;
int main() {
cout << "Please type in some words." << endl;
cout << "Type END and return when you are finished." << endl;
[code].....
This is what I get back.
You typed the following 14 words: red, green, blue, red, red, blue, green, blue, orange, red, reg, apple, banana, banana, END,
You typed the following 0 unique words: red, green, blue, red, red, blue, green, blue, orange, red, reg, apple, banana, banana, END
I'm not worried about the unique count yet, I just want to get the unique array containing the correct strings.

I have written the following code to add data to text files which are required to store 3D scan data (I have to calculate the y-coordinate). My code seems to work except that it stops working when I want to create more than ten text files i.e. the directory I am trying to store them in will not hold any more than ten text files. Code is shown below.
#include <string>
#include <locale>
#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <sstream>

Suppose i have a very large number stored as a string, say
std::string str = "1000000000000000000000000000000000001";
And i use std::stringstream to convert it to int like this
std::stringstream ss(str);
uint64_t i;
ss >> i;
Then I would be maxed out right. so how would one practically handle things like comparison of two such numbers.
I could think of 2 approaches :
1) I can compare the numbers character by character.
2) I can put the results of ss >> i; into an array then compare each element of array
would there be any other methods??

I'm writing a function that compares two fraction. if the fractions are equal it returns 0. If the fraction in the first parameter is less than the fraction in the second parameter it returns a negative number. Otherwise it returns a positive number. in doing so convert the fraction to a floating point number.
typedef struct fracion {
int numo;
int denom;
}fraction;
int compareFractions (fracion, fraction);

I have used strcmp before on one dimensional arrays but not 2 dimensional arrays.The problem is that I have one 2d array that has text with some misspelled words and I have to compare it to another 2d array and if the word from the first array (misspelled word) is not in the 2nd array then I print it to the screen instead of correcting the spelling. Here is what I have so far:
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
int read_dic(char [], char [][20]);
int read_words(char [], char [][20]);
void typo_check(char *, char *);
}

I'm having a problem with the strcmp return value. My compiler returns the correct value based on my research, but I tried to compile the code below on those online compilers and the result was 1.
My compiler gave me 10, which I consider to be the correct result according to strcmp - C++ Reference. So strcmp is not very portable?
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main(void) {
printf("Return value: %d
", strcmp("Rocks", "Rockie"));
return 0;

I am studying c and I thought what would be better than using my pi to play with relays and c. I am used to PHP as a scripting lang and don' t do much programming. So I wrote this to use wirepi and ask the user "on or off" they type on or off and it does it. it does work but I know something is wrong when I use strcmp in the if statment I can -10 for a value. Here is the code.....
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
main(int argc, const char * argv[]) {
char oo[100];
system("gpio mode 0 out");
printf("Do you want it on or off?
[Code] ....
This is what it outputs at the prompt
Do you want it on or off?
on
on
It is now on!
How can I just get Code: if (oo = on) {} and like so with off.

The problem is I have a function which sets some variables and I want to access the variables, but myfunc() is nested too deeply for me to pass a data structure all the way down and to return all the way up. The functions reside in different files. I'm not allowed to use extern structs (i.e. a global variable).
How to use a class and instantiate it in myfunc(). My solutions are:
- using the singleton class method
- static variables and function residing in the class (but I'm suspicious of this way. seems like it's just class variables masquerading as global variables.
