C++ :: Write Struct With String In Binary File
Jan 11, 2015
I have a structure :
struct Entrainement{
string muscleCible, nom, unitesObjectif;
double objectifActuel, dernierObjectif, objectifInitial, capaciteInitiale, progression[10];
};
and I want to write in a binary file the structure. The following works perfectly....
(*pointeurFichierEntrainementBin).write((char*)&exercice, sizeof(Entrainement));
except when the string exceed 11 characters. I guess it's because it has to pick a fixed sized for the string? but what if I want to always be able to have string up to 200 character? because now I can't exceed 11..I know writing a string with c_str() works, but I would like to write/read the structure in one shot.

im trying to write an array of struct to a binary the array of struct is filled with data from a text file .
the program gives no errors or warnings but does not write anything at all to the binary file here is the main
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
struct matches
{
char teamA[20] ;
char teamB[20];
int scoreA ;
int scoreB;
[Code]....

I'm still reading Prata's book and there is a section where they explain how to write files using the binary mode.
They define a struct
Code: const int LIM = 20;
struct planet
{
char name[LIM];
double population;
double g;
};
planet pl;
And they say you can use the binary mode to write the whole struct at once (in text mode you need to specify every member).
Code: ofstream fout("planets.dat",
ios_base:: out | ios_base::app | ios_base::binary);
fout.write( (char *) &pl, sizeof pl); I don't understand why they use Code: fout.write( (char *) &pl, sizeof pl) instead of just Code: fout.write( pl, sizeof pl)

Following is the program I wrote it basically takes 9 inputs and then save them into binary file. then print out the data stored in binary data and find inverse of it then print the inverse out. but its stuck in a loop somewhere.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int a[3][3],i,j;
float determinant=0;
int x;
FILE *fp = fopen ("file.bin", "wb");
[Code] .....

Your goal is to open this struct of students (the binary file). Once open, the first job is to print out each student. Afterwards, display all students with a gpa of 3.5 and higher. Finally, display all students with the major of Computer Science or Game Programming. Be sure to title each category of items.
He gave us a .cpp file and a .h file that we're suppose to use to run the program. He doesn't want us to change his original code, except we can add the needed code to run his code (i.e. Struct & Main).
My problem is that I get an Abort() crash message in VS2013 when I try to run it. Now, in line 95 of the cpp file if I replace the char* with "", it runs fine showing the GPA with blank entries for the other print parameters. I've read the Binary Files chapter of the Pearson textbook several times and it doesn't have anything to say about working with char pointers.
Header file:
#pragma once //Professor's code
struct StudInfo //Start of my code {
char* fName;
char* lName;
char* major;
double gpa;

Below is the code for reading a struct that was stored in a binary file. Problem is while reading from file I get the name without first character and age is always equal to zero which it should not be.
#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>
#include <fstream>
struct abc {
char name[100];
int age;

I have a file in which I have written a structure called "Record".
Here is the struct definition:
Code:
#define IDSIZE 10
struct Record{
char id[IDSIZE];
int score;
};
Here's the code where I wrote to the file:
Code:
Record record;
char* id = "H12345678";
int score = 50;
record.id = id;
record.score = score;
file.write((const char*)&record, sizeof(record));
}
Here's a screenshot of the file in windows: [URL].... To the left is the id, 9 characters. To the right, well I'm assuming that's the score that I wrote.
And here's the problem, reading from the binary file:
Code:
Record record;
fstream file(argv[1], ios::in | ios::binary);
if(!file){
cerr << "Could not open the file." << endl;
return 1;
}
char* id = new char[IDSIZE];
[Code]...
The ID reads perfectly. The score...always returns 0, despite that it should show "50".

I have a std::vector of short ints that I need to write to a specific location in a binary file (without using .NET code). To that end, I wrote up this code:
Code:
ofstream fileStream (filePathString, ios::out | ios::binary);
int curPos = 2821;
fileStream.seekp(curPos);
int iter = 0;
while (iter < 1024*1024){
char bytesToWrite[2];
//Low byte
bytesToWrite[0] = LOBYTE(dataVector[iter]);
[Code]...
The code runs without crashing, but when I look at the file afterwards in a hex editor, every byte (even those outside the range I thought I was writing to) are replaced with 00. I suspect I'm missing something in my understanding of file streams. Did I write that code correctly? Seekp does move the pointer over the next byte to be overwritten, yes? Am I getting a memory leak somewhere?

I am trying to get the code to read from the txt file one bite at a time and then write this bite into the binary file but i cant seem to get it working.
FILE *fpcust, *fpcustbin; //<<<<<-----point to both sales and customers text files, and the new .bin files for both
char buffer;
int ch;
int ch1;
fpcust = fopen("c:customers.txt", "r"); //<<<<-----pointing to the file
fpcustbin = fopen("c:customers.bin", "wb"); //<<<<<-----pointing to the new binary file, opening in writing binary

I would like to read in binary files, then write them to another file.
I write a code, what works perfectly, if I would like to just copy the file to another. But I want to make it a little other.
If I open a file in hex-editor I also can see the ASCII values. But I would like get the ONLY the hex values to the other file.
For example:
d5 57 4f ad 30 33 0b 4e 49 a7 05 18 c4 90 66 d8 45 ac 39 3e 7d f1 a8 02 80
14 20 90 6e 20 12 38 0c 65 4a 28 d2 80 72 04 20 a9 4a 82 84 60 6a 0b 25
59 4c 30 c8 69 c0 ec fa 36 ed 3a da b1 9a 82 02 e0 bb 7e 41 87 02 f6 10 34
eb 95 93 63 01 6b 8d e1 d7 43 c3 df 92 5d 8a ed 57 61 4e 36 07 2a d7 56 2b
b5 0e 55 83 b4 76 8c b7 61 77 0e c9 76 0c 81 1b 01 63 0c 8b 73 57 d5 6d 4c
0c c2 0d 52 45 18
How could I make it?

I have a binary tree, and I want to store all information its leaves stores into a binary file and then read it.
What I tried:
A function that reads the tree, and whenever it finds a leaf, it writes in the binary file:
Code:
[...]
if(tree->right == NULL && tree->left == NULL){
fwrite(tree, sizeof(tree), 1, output);
}
[...] a
And in the main function:
Code:
[...]
for(i=0;i<5;i++){
fread(tree, sizeof(tree), 1, output);
printf("This is the leaf number %d", tree->num);
}
[...]
I'm trying to read 5 nodes just to see if its working but it isn't. The output shows the first node of the tree everytime.

So as a learning exercise, I am trying to read and write a binary tree to a file. After googling around, I decided to use a preorder traversal (including null nodes) to write the binary tree to the file. I got stuck trying to read a tree from a file. I can't figure out how to create an unknown number of nodes when they are needed. I could use an array, but that just seems bulky - plus it could run out of space. Is that what I have to do? I've heard of vectors before, but not very much.

if i have 2 variables for which values are given by the user,then,does the information get stored into the file in the name of the variable,or just like packs of information.....if the former is true,how to extract the information of a particular variable alone from the whole file?

I am parsing a binary data file by casting a buffer to a struct. It seems to work really well apart from this one double which is always being accessed two bytes off, despite being in the correct place.
Code:
typedef struct InvoiceRow {
uint INVOICE_NUMBER;
...
double GROSS;
...
char VAT_NUMBER[31];
} InvoiceRow;
If I attempt to print GROSS using printf("%f", row->GROSS) I get 0.0000. However, if I change the type of GROSS to char[8] and then use the following code, I am presented with the correct number...
Code:
typedef struct example {
double d;
}
example;
example *blah = (example*)row->GROSS;
printf("%f", blah->d);

I am planning to use this mostly to copy binary files, but why won't this work with text???
input.txt
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
// open file
std::ifstream ifs;
ifs.open("./input.txt", std::ios::binary);
[Code] ....
output.txt
310^?z^@^@^@^@^@300367346^A^@
Will this method always work to copy a file?

How to open binary for read and write? Why the buffer is char * buffer? i mean in binary u cant read chars . How can it be? how the data is represented? just like txt file? What the buffer will contain how to print this buffer???

The Problem You are part of a company writing a spreadsheet program. As you know, spreadsheets can be sorted on any column. You're part of the project is to write one binary tree function to sort the data [Hint: use different fields when inserting nodes in the tree.] and a second function to list it in either an ascending or descending sequence. [Note: Each of these functions may actually need to be a set of related functions.]
For sample data you will have a disk file containing information about Shakespeare's plays. Your first function should create a tree based on the sort selected by the user and the second function to display the data in the sequence selected by the user. Regardless of the column being sorted, data in individual records always be displayed in the same line of the output.
Input : Each record will contain the following information: First Performed 9 characters Printed 5 characters Title 26 characters Type 7 characters
Output : Tabular output should be aligned in columns with two spaces between each. All columns should have headings. It should be sorted on the column specified by the user.
Example (This sample data provided so you can test your program.) If the data is:
1595-96 1600 A Midsummer Night's Dream Comedy
1594-95 1623 Two Gentlemen of Verona Comedy
1596-97 1623 King John History
1597-98 1598 Henry IV, Part 1 History
1611-12 1623 The Tempest Comedy
1602-03 1623 All's Well That Ends Well Comedy
[Code]...
Source: [URL]...
Possible outputs are
1 - for a sort by title: First
Performed Printed Title Type
--------- ------- -------------------------- -------
1595-96 1600 A Midsummer Night's Dream Comedy
1602-03 1623 All's Well That Ends Well Comedy
1606-07 1623 Antony and Cleopatra Tragedy
1599-1600 1623 As You Like It Comedy
[Code]....
2 - for a sort by first performed: First
Performed Printed Title Type
--------- ------- -------------------------- -------
1590-91 1594? Henry VI, Part 2 History
1590-91 1594? Henry VI, Part 3 History
1591-92 1623 Henry VI, Part 1 History
1592-93 1623 Comedy of Errors Comedy

New to C++ lambda, got two question in regards of searching for strings within a vector struct.
Minimalistic example:
Code:
struct singleFile {
std::string filename;
};
std::vector<singleFile>myStorage;
myStorage.push_back(singleFile());
[Code] ....
1) why does found always return 0 eventhough the filename exists?
2) I don't know how to pass an actual search string instead of the hardcoded approach as above with filename =="
