C :: Writing A Simple File / Text Parser To Read A Config File
Feb 6, 2014
I am writing a simple file/text parser to read a config file for some code I am working on. It's dead simple and not particularly smart but it should get the job done. The code reads a config file:
Here is where it gets wierd. You'll notice that there is an unused variable (filepath) in the config struct. This variable is not referenced or used anywhere in the code, ever. Yet if I comment out the declaration of char filepath[1024], the code segfaults partway through the read_config() function.
My best guess is that there is a buffer overflow elsewhere and it just so happens that the memory allocated for filepath happened to be there to catch it up until now, but I can't work out where it might be happening. With the declaration commented out, the read_config() function gets as far as reading the "padding" variable before it crashes. Yet when the declaration is there, then all the variabled are read correctly and everything seems to work.
I am writing a simple file parser for use in another project (for config file). The trickiest thing seems to be skipping unwanted characters (comments, spaces). It works partly, but after the second line of an inputed file processes only the first three characters.
I wrote a small program that handles configuration files. I was wondering if this code is considered "good?" I am also wondering if there are ways to optimize it.
class configFile { std::vector<std::string> variables; std::vector<std::string> values; public: /* declare the constructor function */ configFile(std::string loc) {
I created a program to convert files to XML. This if statement is giving me some trouble. I am trying to replace all &s with the XML & so that &s will work in the entities of the XML file. Some entities have more than 1 &. With those which have more than one I get an output like this: <cit:district>Anambra & Enugu & Eb</cit:district> .
I'm trying to make a program that you input your login info and it writes that info to a text file. Then, later on once I get my problem fixed, the program will read the info to the user. my code is as follows(the input part is a bit lengthy):
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(){
I have a .txt file which I want to read from and then write a new text file, this time with sorted lines. It is easy to sort one value, but what about sorting entire lines based on one value?
I want to sort the lines based on the FIRST value.
Code to write data(Double type e.g 12345.67891) in text file like pattern given below. Remember to put tab between each column.
----------------------------------------------------- Column1 Column2 Column3 Value 1 Value 2 Value 3 Value 4 Value 5 Value 6 Value 7 Value 8 Value 9 ----------------------------------------------------
[URL] when I try to write my output to a file. I am building a life insurance premium calculator with c++. What my calculator does is read in a text file called "policies.txt" containing a number of different policies. For example:
Pol1 M N 20 100000 1 .04 99 Pol2 F S 30 100000 1 .05 99 Pol3 M S 72 750000 1 .03 99 Pol4 F N 45 1000000 1 .05 99
And using this, it creates a single premium. Once the calculator calculates the premium of each policy, I want it to write out the premium amount of each policy to a textfile called "output.txt". The problem is that when I check my "output.txt" file, only the premium for the last policy shows up. It only reads:
Premium for Pol4 is 220384 When I want it to read:
Premium for Pol1 is 14101.6 Premium for Pol2 is 14221.2 Premium for Pol3 is 582391 Premium for Pol4 is 220384
How come only the last policy is showing up? and is there any way to make all four policies appear in my output text file? Here is my code:
My program involves trajectory planning using cubic spline method for a robotic arm. In the process, I had to calculate joint angles for each point in the path. In the last few lines of the code I need to write the values for counter and theta1 into a text file which I called "Test.txt". I am doing this using a nested for loop(the counter runs until it reaches 19 and hence need 19 theta1 values corresponding to it). However, I can't get all the theta1 values transferred to the text file.The statement within my inner loop is wrong and don't know how to fix it.
How would i write a functor for this code. The code is written to read data from a file and store in a multimap.
The data has numbered lines. E.g.: 1 This is a string 2 This is a string too
So the aim is to store each word in the line with the number and then to enter a word to search for the line numbers it appears on. I do not know how to go about and write a functor
#include<iostream> #include<sstream> #include<fstream> #include<cstdlib> #include<map> using namespace std; int main() { multimap<int, string>myMap;
I want to write a single line to a file and upload it as a .txt file to a server directory . I know the traditional way to upload a local file to a server
I am wanting to have a text file which is named with the user input and appended with .txt.
cout << "Please enter a new filename for storing new coordinates in: "; char name[50]; ofstream output; cin.getline(name, 50); output.open(name + ".txt");
I've knocked up a rough C parser for the purpose of colourizing code into XHTML/CSS, which makes me feel fancy. However, it doesn't quite handle comments properly. I can't quite work out how to deal with the slashes. Plus I'm sure there are other places that it slips up that don't feature in my simple tests, so here you go:-
I would like to write a complete structure array to a file and read it back, recovering all the data. I have tried the following:
Code:
#include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> #define NUM 256 const char *fname="binary.bin"; typedef struct foo_s { int intA; int intB; char string[20];
[Code]...
//---------------------------------------------------- but the mac field is reading back some random value repeatedly. Why is that? And how do I fix this?
I'm trying to learn more about how Lexical Analyzers/Parsers work. I haven't coded any classes yet, because i'm not really sure how the entire process from a Lexer to working code goes.
My goal is to write a simple made up programming language and translate that to another language, like Javascript. The first thing i have to do is give the code to a Lexical Analyzer.
The lexer will split the source into tokens and assign a label to it. So suppose i have the following code:
That's basically as far as i understand what a lexer does. How can i translate the tokens to a language like Javascript? From what i understand i need to write a Parser class. But i couldn't find any info on what that class exactly does. So what is exactly the next step i have to take?
My text file is in the correct folder and the name of my text file is the same as the code. I dont get no errors i dont see why i cant get my text to be read.
my code.
#include "stdafx.h" #include <iostream> #include <string> #include <fstream> using namespace std; void main(); int menu(); double currentBalance(double balance);
I'm a beginner at programming and I'm not sure how to read in information from a text file. What I want to do is take a text file which contains around 20 rows and 3 columns of numbers, and put these into an array which can then be used for performing calculations. How do I do this? Would I need to declare the size of the array beforehand? When accessing my file, do I include the full address?
The relevant part is lines 29-33:
Code: #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <math.h> /* this is a simpllified code using BEM equations */ main()
how to read and display the content of a text file in my console application using C++. The file contains 25 lines and 3 columns. The first column is "Rank" (numerical values from 1 to 25) the second column is "Name" (25 teams name) and the third column "value" has the amount of point each team is worth. Looking for code for reading and displaying all this information ....
I am making a script to read the latest from a text file. It picks up the line by numbytes in fseek, but the data line may vary and numbytes not be accurate, how can I fix this?
And another problem is that the line has, date, time, value, separated by space, how to read that line and put these 3 information in variable?
#include <stdio.h> #include <conio.h> int main() { FILE *arq; char Line[100]; char *result; int tam, i; // Opens a file for READING TEXT arq = fopen("temp.txt", "rt");
I'm trying to make a program that will read in names and grades from a text file and print them in the console. However whenever I try to use the OpenFile.get function I get an error saying that there is "no instance of overloaded function"
getting this error resolved before I can.
my code so far (I know it's missing a lot, but that's not what I'm worried about right now.)
How can I read text from a webpage asynchronously,from within C++. After you first connect to the internet using usual means, you enter the string
e.g. "[URL] ...." and the C++ program reads the information: "<title>BBC Website</title><body>This is the BBC website...." from the internet.
Here I want to connect to website every 60 minutes and fetch only first 100 lines of the run.txt file as mentioned above. How can I do this using C++ and asynchronous winsock ???
Code: #define WIN_OS #define _DEBUG_PRINT(X) /* X */
I have been given an assignment that has to do with permutations. I am suppose to read a text file that contains the permutation rules and the text to be "permutated", and then output the rules and the new text into an output file.
So far, I've gotten this:
Code: # include <stdio.h> void printArray(FILE* file, char* array, int maxSize) { int i; for (i = 0; i<maxSize; i++) fprintf(file, "%c", *(array + i));
[Code] ....
Here is what the input file looks like:
Code: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 4 5 6 0 9 7 8 1 2 3
Moderation in temper, is always a virtue; but moderation in principle, is a species of vice.
Here is what the output file is suppose to look like:
Code: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 4 5 6 0 9 7 8 1 2 3
ratMnioodetem rpein al,ywa isvirsetu a t m;eod buon r inaticipp,lerina s cpeis of icvies - Temho. -ainaPes
The first two lines are the permutation rules. Currently I have figured out how to read the file into an array and then print it back out into a text.
What I want to do is figure out how to read only the first two line of the input file and store that as a permutation rules, and then continue reading the rest of the input file and store that separately as the text to be "permutated". And then eventually figure out how to apply the permutation to the text.
