C :: Write A Program To Copy One File To Another?
Feb 11, 2013
Here I was trying to write a program to copy one file to another.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>#include <stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
FILE *fp , *ft;
[Code]....
So it should copy test1 to test2. Now I created test1 in gedit. I just put one character "c" in it and closed it. And I ran the program. When I check sizes of test1 and test2 , using
ls -l
command, I see that test2 has 4 bytes and test1 has 2 bytes. So something strange is happening here. I just put a single character in test1, so shouldn't it show 1 byte ? And why test2 is showing 4 bytes ? I have Win XP on my laptop. And I use Ubuntu 12 inside VirtualBox. So this is Linux environment...

I have written a program that copies a file from the source and pastes it there (same location), but with a different name. The program works fine, except there is a small bug that i can't seem to fix. Here is the code:
/*
This program copies a file from the current directory and pastes it to the same directory, but with a different name. The file name form the source must include the extension as well.
*/
#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main() {
char temp, s_file[100], d_file[100],
[Code] ....
This is the flow:
> 1) Enter the name of the file you'd like to copy (Must be from the current directory)
> A: 3.c // This depends if the file exists in the
> current directory
>
> 2) Enter the name of the destination file (The file will be copied to the same directory)
> A: 4 //The extension isn't necessary here
>
> Result: The file was copied successfully!
When I run the prg again, and this time input a file name with no extension, like this:
> Enter the name of the file you'd like to copy (Must be from the current directory)
> 3
> You did not enter a valid text. Press "?" to get help or "x" to exit.
I hit "?" and it takes me to
> 1. The file must be from the current directory)
> 2. The location mustn't be empty
Then it asks me
> Try again? (Y/N)
If i give N, it exits. BUT if I give Y, it goes, like this:
> Enter the name of the file you'd like to copy (Must be from the current directory)
> You did not enter a valid text. Press "?" to get help or "x" to exit.
You see, it doesn't give me the option to give it the file name..

One of my class assignments is to create a program that receive a .txt file containing a students name and their grades as follows:
John K. 99, 87, 57, 89, 90, 95
Amanda B. Jones 100, 88, 76, 99, 86, 92
etc..
The number of students is unknown until run time. You have to take those grades and average them weighing the first (4) at 10% a piece and the last (2) at 30% each.
Then return an output file with the students name and their letter grade A,B,C,D,F based on their computed score. In addition, on screen it needs to display the average scores for each Q1, Q2, etc. as well as the minimum and maximum for each test on the screen. I am having a hard time in assigning the scores to a variable so that they can then be computed as an average and then used to determine a letter grade. I have begun to write the code and am a bit stuck..here's what I have so far:
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>
[Code]....

We have to write a program that reads an input file containing data in the form:
Martha J, 80, 90, 90, 100, 89, 99, 85
Anna Smith, 65, 72, 77, 68, 62, 70, 65
Bill Gates, 60, 54, 89, 62, 65, 60, 50
...etc...
and then use that information to determine their letter grade and write that information to a .txt file. I have been able to successfully pass that information to a function to determine their letter grade and have been able to successfully compute their letter grade. However, I can get this information to successfully post within the *computeGrade () function. Yet, I don't know how to pass this information back to the main() on a student by student basis so that I can open a new .txt file and write just their name and letter grade to it.
Another issue I'm having is when it comes to computing the averages of the class. Each score is either a quiz (there are 4), a midterm (there are 2) or a final (there is 1). I'm a little stuck on how to pass say all of the quiz 1 grades as one entity to the function averagesminmax(). Is there a way to compile each of the grades for a specific quiz or midterm as one array and pass that to the function to then do the computation. Also we need the min and max so again from compiling the grades of a particular quiz or exam together as one.
Here's the code that I have so far.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>
const char *computeGrade();
int averagesminmax();
int main() {
char fName[20];
char lName[20];
[code]....
Do I need to re-read the input file and assign them to different variables?
Here's a sample of the output so far:
Enter input .txt file name
Graded
Thui Bhu, 91, A
Ariana B. Smith, 96, A
Emily Gonzales, 83, B
Jennifer L, 89, B
Maria Jones, 67, D
Bill Gates, 55, F
Escobar Morris, 78, C
Anne Latner, 88, B
Program ended with exit code: 0
Also in my output file, the only thing that it prints will be the first name of whatever the last student in the input file list is.

Write a program that reads data from a file (use the attached data file). These data are a student name and 3 test scores. The program should calculate the average of the 3 test scores, and display the name, 3 test scores, and the average to the monitor.
Useful tips:
a) Include the following header files: iostream, fstream, iomanip, and string
b) The name of the data file is “datafile.txt”, you need to save the file in the same folder of the source file.
c) use the manipulators (setw, setprecision, setfill, showpoint, fixed) to format the average with 1 digits after decimal point as following.
d) Use character ‘ ’ for tab.

So I'm trying to create a program that allows one to read/write on to output.txt. I though I had everything set up right, but its only writing one word to the text file. Heres the code.
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream> //Needed for User Input
#include <fstream> //needed for ofstream
#include <string> // needed for strings
#include <windows.h> //needed for Sleep
#include <cstdlib> //Needed for return EXIT_SUCCESS;
using namespace std;
int main() {
ofstream outputfile; //allows to read and write to files
[Code] .....
If I type Puppies Are Cute and go to output.txt, the only thing written in the text file is Puppies.

I'm trying to write a program where it asks the user for a file name.
If that file exists, the it will open the file and then read it and print the information in the file.
However, if the user enters a file name that does not exist, the user will have 2 more tries (for a total of 3 tries) to get the correct name of the file.
I am close to getting it. What I have now just won't go through the loop to validate if the input matches an existing file. It goes straight to the printing of what is in the file. If the file doesn't exist, it prints: "Found your file..Opening..processing...Total keys found = 0."
So, my question, what am I doing wrong that it won't go through the loop properly?
#include<iostream>
#include<iomanip>
#include<fstream>
#include<string>
using namespace std;
int main() {
bool fileFound = false;

I have a lab with the following instructions:
Manually create an input text file called Lab22BInput.txt with the following data:
Dove
Doe
Alston
Zebra
Egg
Write a program that will read the names from the input file. Print out each of the names read to the screen. The program should go through the list of names and determine which comes 1st in the alphabet. The program should determine how many letters are in this name. Print out the name that comes first in the alphabet and the length of the name.
I have created the input file, and the data correctly outputs to the screen when I run the program. However, I do not know what kind of logic to use to sort them alphabetically and determine the amounts of characters.
So far I have the following:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
string str1, str2, str3, str4, str5;
[Code]...

I am trying to write a program for class that reads from an input file the month, year & total collected. I am using notepad for the input file.
This is what the notepad file looks like
-----------------------------------
March 2013 63924.62
Why does it give me random numbers in the output rather than what the notepad has?
Also, the outfile is completely blank.
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <fstream>

I need to write a program that merges the numbers in two files and writes the results to a third file. The program reads input from two different files and writes the output to a third file. Each input file contains a list of integers in ascending order. After the program is executed, the output file contains the numbers from the two input files in one longer list, also in ascending order. Your program should define a function with three arguments: one for each of the two input file streams and one for the output file stream. The input files should be named numbers1.txt and numbers2.txt, and the output file should be named output.txt.

I'm working on a project that requires to make modifications to certain functions. So, I'll copy and paste the function to a new source code so I'm just working on the function with the entire program running. When I run the function by itself, it works fine. But when I copy and paste the function back to it's spot, the program doesn't wait for input at the cin.getline & it did wait when I ran just the function by itself. I'm using Dev C++ if that makes a difference.

I am trying to copy string Line BY Line from text file into array of pointers. lets say file has only two lines for example.
This is an apple.
This is another apple.

Code:
#include <iostream>

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.

The Objective Of This Program Is To Create A File To Write Text And Read Back The File Content. To Do That I Have Made Two Function writeFile() To Write And readFile() To Read.The readFile() function works just fine but writeFile() doesn't.
How writeFile() function Works? when writeFile() function Execute It Takes Characters User Type And When Hit Enter(ASC|| 10) It Ask "More?(Y/N)" That Means What User Want? Want To Go Next Line Or End Input?
If "Y" Than Inputs Are Taken From Next Line Else Input Ends.
But The Problem Is When Program Encounters ch==10 It Shows "More?(Y/N)" And Takes Input In cmd variable.If cmd=='Y' I Mean More From Next Line Than It Should Execute Scanf Again To Take ch I Mean User Input.But Its Not!!! Its Always Showing "More?(Y/N)" Again And Again Like A Loop.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
void writeFile(void);
void readFile(void);
int main(){
