Just to amplify CPalini's answer - if you're doing line oriented I/O then open the file for reading, open another for writing then process each line from the input file putting the results in the output file.
Another thing you could try is have fixed length records in the file. Then to read a record all you have to do is fseek to (record_size * index_of_record). To replace it you just write to the same place and to erase it you just mark the entry as empty somehow. This means you only need a single file open but makes the logic a bit more complicated.
Cheers,
Ash

HI guys,
How to read data from a file and save that data
|
|
|
|
|
See here[^], paying particular attention to CreateFile(), ReadFile() and WriteFile().
[edit]
On second thoughts you may be better to start here[^] for pure C.

Is there a multiprocessor implementation of qsort and bsearch out there? My app. is mostly in C but some bits have got C++ and STL depending on what libraries are needed. We compile with VS2008 so openMP is available.

hi,
i
int COMportNum= 3;
portstream_fd COMstream;
portstream_fd pstream;
char COMportPrefix[10] = "COM";
char COMportName[256];
sprintf(COMportName, "%s%d", COMportPrefix, COMportNum);
strng = CString(COMportName);
strng.Format(_T("%0.9s"), strng);
SetDlgItemText(IDC_STAT, strng);
set_baud_rate(BaudRate);
COMstream = open_host_port(COMportName);
if ( COMstream == PORT_NOT_OPENED )
{
stw.Format(_T("%08X"), GetLastError());
SetDlgItemText(IDC_PTUPORT, stw);
}
else
SetDlgItemText(IDC_PTUPORT, (LPCTSTR) L"Ok");
can anyone please help me with this error.
Regards

Hi there,
I don't want to seem pedantic, though I will point out that this is not actually system error 0x0000007B, but rather the error-code of the last system function that failed. A system error is one generally regarded as having been generated by Windows itself (rather than just a 'helper' function)
Something that you may choose to do which certainly clarifies the error is to display a description of the error.
Have a look over here, for a method by which the code 0x7B may be turned into a text message.

The error message is (you can check it in WinError.h)
What library are you using?

basically i have the console program running fine (means having source file and header files). than i wanted to build GUI for this using MFC in vs2008. now i don't understand how to open serial port in MFC. code below shows how to open serial port in console programming using cmd prompt.
COMportName[0] = ' ';
while (COMportName[0] == ' ') {
printf("\nEnter the %s port number the PTU is attached to: ", COMportPrefix);
scanf("%d", &COMportNum);
printf("You selected %s%d. Is this OK? (enter 'y' or 'n'): ", COMportPrefix, COMportNum);
tmpChar = 'f';
while ( (tmpChar != 'y') && (tmpChar != 'n') )
tmpChar = ((char) tolower(getchar()));
if ( tmpChar == 'y' )
sprintf(COMportName, "%s%d", COMportPrefix, COMportNum);
}
tmpChar = 'f';
while (tmpChar != 'y') {
printf("\nEnter the baud rate the ptu is communicate at (default: 9600): ");
scanf("%d", &BaudRate);
printf("You selected %d. Is this OK? (enter 'y' or 'n'): ", BaudRate);
tmpChar = 'f';
while ( (tmpChar != 'y') && (tmpChar != 'n') )
tmpChar = ((char) tolower(getchar()));
}
set_baud_rate(BaudRate);
COMstream = open_host_port(COMportName);
if ( COMstream == PORT_NOT_OPENED )
{ printf("\nSerial Port setup error.\n");
goto abnormal_exit; }
printf("\nSerial port %s initialized\n", COMportName);

I would use the debugger to watch COMportName content in both console and MFC applications.

console program is running fine. problem is in MFC program. can you tell how to implement the console program, as mentioned, in MFC??

As CPallini pointed out

Are you sure COM3 exists on your machine?
Did you try the format \\.\COM3 instead?
What happens in set_baud_rate() and in open_host_port()? You have to open the COM-Port before changing the baudrate
Cou can find some more hints on serial communication here:

yes COM3 is available and i have tried \\.COM3 and \\\\.\\COM3 both. basically i'm developing GUI via MFC in vs2008 for my console program. part of the code for opening serial port in console program is given below. i can't understand how to do it in MFC.
COMportName[0] = ' ';
while (COMportName[0] == ' ') {
printf("\nEnter the %s port number the PTU is attached to: ", COMportPrefix);
scanf("%d", &COMportNum);
printf("You selected %s%d. Is this OK? (enter 'y' or 'n'): ", COMportPrefix, COMportNum);
tmpChar = 'f';
while ( (tmpChar != 'y') && (tmpChar != 'n') )
tmpChar = ((char) tolower(getchar()));
if ( tmpChar == 'y' )
sprintf(COMportName, "%s%d", COMportPrefix, COMportNum);
}
tmpChar = 'f';
while (tmpChar != 'y') {
printf("\nEnter the baud rate the ptu is communicate at (default: 9600): ");
scanf("%d", &BaudRate);
printf("You selected %d. Is this OK? (enter 'y' or 'n'): ", BaudRate);
tmpChar = 'f';
while ( (tmpChar != 'y') && (tmpChar != 'n') )
tmpChar = ((char) tolower(getchar()));
}
set_baud_rate(BaudRate);
COMstream = open_host_port(COMportName);
if ( COMstream == PORT_NOT_OPENED )
{ printf("\nSerial Port setup error.\n");
goto abnormal_exit; }
printf("\nSerial port %s initialized\n", COMportName);

Does the console programm run?
And what's the code inside open_host_port()?
Did you step through the code of open_host_port() in the debugger? Examine every return code of Win32 API-calls and check GetLastError().
What happens, if you just do a call to the CreateFile-function to open the COM-port, just like in this article
Creating a Serial communication on Win32[^]
I dont't think that this is an MFC problem,

I'm thinking you could eliminate some overhead here. Try:
strng.Format(_T("COM%d"), COMportNum);Note that this likely has nothing to do with why open_host_port() is not opening the port.

I do not recognize the open_host_port function, but it does not really matter. On some systems you need to add a ':' after COMx. Try sprintf(COMportName, "%s%d:", COMportPrefix, COMportNum); to get COM3:

i did what you suggested and now the error comes out to be 00000002 (i.e The system cannot find the file specified). and the outcome of
SetDlgItemText(IDC_STAT, strng);
is "COM3:".
|
|
|
|
|
OK, so this means you fixed one problem (I think), but now came up against another. I believe 7B meant that command format was wrong that is why I was suggesting the ':' the 2 means that system cannot find COM3. Are you sure that it exists. On a Windows PC you'd look in device manager. If it really exists then 7B probably means something else.
That is about all I can help.

hello guys... how do I respond to an asynchronous function call? Let's say that I have a function (asynchronous, boolean) like this
classObject->Function_Call();
Now I want to do something like this
BOOL bResult = FALSE;
bResult = classObject->Function_Call();
if(bResult)
{
}
else
Now what do I do in this situation as Function_Call() is asynchronous? Thanks for any input.
This world is going to explode due to international politics, SOON.

The short answer is: you cannot do that.
When the function is asynchronous you may usually perform a test like that only to know whether the function was called properly (it might fail, for instance, if classObject was not properly initialized). To know the result of the actual function execution you should check that a state change happened, but that is specific of the function (for instance asynchrounous I/O Windows API provide GetOverallappedResult function) and there is no general way.
Veni, vidi, vici.
