Visual C++ :: Return String Length

Jun 7, 2013

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 ?

C :: Program Where User Inputs A String And Prints Out Length Of String

Jan 29, 2014

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?

C :: Declared A String Constant And Trying To Print Length Of String

Oct 9, 2014

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()
}

C++ :: Length Of String Array?

Sep 7, 2013

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?

C++ :: How To Set Fixed Length For String

May 28, 2013

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

C/C++ :: Find Length Of String

Dec 15, 2014

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]

C++ ::  split String (unknown Length)

Mar 27, 2013

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...

C :: Assign Length Of String To Integer Variable

Dec 25, 2014

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?

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?

C++ :: Vector String Return Length Error

Jul 10, 2013

The error is unclear but suggests Its received a bad pointer from another heap. It references dbgheap.c line 1322 and assertion failure

I have two string vector functions the first is called from the main function, the second is called from the first.

Their purpose is to receive a string of text and numbers in a semi-specific format, which the main body of the code reads from a text file, and delaminates the data as to return the first variable in the string as the variable name and the second as the variable value. Along the way it filters out a lot of the unwanted whitespace and punctuation.

E.g "{ VariableNameA 123 }" would be returned as "VariableNameA" And "123"

The code works perfectly for most of the lines in the text file but fails on one particular line where the first variable is 25 characters long. Basically it works for anything 22 characters or less. There are never more than 4 elements in the vector and each element is never intended to be longer than 25 characters.

It fails trying to return from the second split function to the first split function.

Is there a limit to the size of each vector element? I'm struggling to find a way round this without having to rewrite the whole thing.

vector<string> split(const string &s, char delim) {
vector<string> elems;
split(s, delim, elems);
return elems;

[Code] ....

C++ :: Possible To Show Maximum Length That Define A String

Aug 7, 2013

I need to know if it is possible to show the maximum length that is defined a string. I explained it with a example

void charLong(char *a){
cout <<"a defined max long = "<<a-><FUNCTION>;
} int main() {
char str[40];
charLong(&str);
return 0;
}

That the result was : a defined max long = 40.

I know that exist strlen() but this show only the length that is used, I need the definition length. is it possible?

C/C++ :: Find Length Of First Sentence In Input String

Feb 13, 2015

I have a question about finding the length of first sentence in an input string.

For example, let the input string be: dream in code. community learning

The length of first sentence is 13 (blanks are included). My question is how to create conditions for multiple punctuation signs (!,?)? If while loop goes like:

while((str[i]!='.')||(str[i]!='!')||(str[i]!='?'))

it gives me an error for infinite loop.

Code:
#include<stdio.h>
int main() {
char str[100];int i=0,br=0;
printf("enter a string:");
gets(str);

Visual C++ :: How To View Line Length In Cm To User (using Map Mode)

Nov 3, 2012

My program allow user to draw lines and the user should know the length of the line that he draw in centimeter (.cm)

I did use

SetMapMode(MM_LOMETRIC) function to convert the device units into logical units

and it works correctly but I don't know how the line length will appear to the user to let him draw in correct length

I think to make the length appear on the mouse when the user draw but I don't know how I calculate and display it.

Visual C++ :: Retrieving Size Of Each String In Order To Produce A New Buffer For Concatenated String

Feb 25, 2013

What is the efficiency of the two assignments (line 1 and 2), i.e. (function calls, number of copies made, etc), also the Big O notation. I know there are function calls for retrieving the size of each string in order to produce a new buffer for the concatenated string...any difference between line 1 and 2 in terms of efficiency?

String s("Hello");
String t("There");
1. s = s + t;
2. s += t;

Visual C++ :: Reverse String Sequence In String Buffer

Apr 27, 2013

I made a simple little program that takes text from the clipboard, and spits out all the lines I've copied one at a time (so my program can analyze it).

everything works perfectly, except, it spits it own in the wrong order, I want it to spit out from bottom to top. but currently it spits out the data from top to bottom. here is my code :

Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <Windows.h>
#include <string>
#include <sstream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
HANDLE clip; // assigns the var. clip to hold a handle ID.

[Code] .....

I want this loop to run backwards! Like it say's what I want to work backwards. Where as I know how to flip a while loop like this: while(x < 5), how to flip a loop like the one I'm using. how I can do this?
