Hello,

Some simple pointer arithmic will do your magic:

char* pszYourString = "This is some string";
char* pszPattern = "some";

char* pszDest = strstr( pszYourString, pszPattern );
int nPos = pszDest - pszYourString + 1;

Look in MSDN[^] for more information on strstr

There's no need to add one to the result. Doing so creates an off-by-one error.

Well, the + 1 is there in MSDN.. Confused | :confused:

This position in this case, is not the zero based index to an array, but the position starting at 1.

Do VB or Pascal have zero based indices?

For VB, it depends on Option Base. Yes for Pascal.

I have done pascal in First Year of my Engg Graduation. When I convert from pascal to C++ , i always face problem due to array INDEX as Pascal Index start from 1 and in C++ index start from 0. May be you are right, I havn't learn PASCAL much

Dynamic Memory allocation and Real Time applications

I am bit concerned over the issue of fragmentation problem due to dynamic memory allocation in real time applications that have to run for long say 1 year. How to avoid it? What if in some scenario you must dynamically allocate the memory occasionaly of different block size?

Any one here, who has developed some performance critical application which runs for long and have addressed these issues?

Thanks

If memory is continually allocated but never freed, the program, and probably most everythying else, will come to a halt.

Is it a Windows application ? If so, the text box has a password property. Set it to true, and when you type in it, it will only show ******.

Thank u Mr christian for u help ..i realy apreciate u time and u opinion..i have used so simple code that make user insert username && password but my prob is i cant make password invisible for the user ( appears as stars shape)
#include<iostream>
#include<conio.h>
#include<string>
using namespace std;
void main()
{
string str1,str2;
string username ("ourteam");
string password ("cool");
cout<<"plz enter username"<<endl;
cin="">>str1;
cout<<"plz enter password"<<endl;

#include <conio.h>

string s;
char c;
while ((c = getch()) != 13)
{
s += c;
cprintf("*");
}
Now "s" contains the string user entered.
Do this for both username and password.

this is this.

Hi,

I need an efficient/simple password encryption/decryption algorithm/code so that I can use in my VC++ application.

I actually looked in the net a found various utilities but not been able to decide which one to go for?

Thanks,

I believe, RC4 algorithm will suit you need and it easy to implement too.

I tried both the links but most of the algorithms which use XOR do not work for passwords like abcd1, abcde1, abcdef12, abcdef12ghijklmnop etc.

Do you have any other algorithms which will work for all the characters? Imean encrypt/decrypt any given data?

Get the MACAddress from the computer

Hello all,

I'm working on a school project to make a security program. I need to get the MAC Address from the computer. That is the "Physical Address" when you type "ipconfig/all" in MSDOS command prompt.

It is urgent and I have spent pretty much time there, but still don't know what to do. I am an amateur in programming. I'd greatly appreciate your opinion. Thanks.

Toolbar handler not invoked

laiju22-Jun-05 18:16

22-Jun-05 18:16

I have addded a toolbar in the OnCreate method of CMainFrame as below

if (!m_UICtrlsBar.CreateEx(this, TBSTYLE_FLAT, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | CBRS_RIGHT
| CBRS_GRIPPER | CBRS_TOOLTIPS | CBRS_FLYBY | CBRS_SIZE_DYNAMIC) ||
!m_UICtrlsBar.LoadToolBar(IDR_TOOLBAR_DRAW))
{
TRACE0("Failed to OSD Controls ToolBar\n");
return -1;
}

But the handlers for this toolbar wont work when child windows are restored or maximized. In other words - in the presence of child view windows the message handler for the toolbar is not invoked. IF I minimize/close the child windows the handler works.I have posted this several times.I am still unable to figure out the actual problem.
Please let me know if my problem is not clear.

Any chance you have handlers for the same commands in either the view, frame or document of the child window? MFC's command routing give those a chance to handle commands before the main frame...

I have double checked this.
The command ID_VIEW_DRAWTOOLBAR is not used anywhere in the project except for calling the handler OnDrawToolBar and update handler OnUpdateDrawToolBar in the mainframe

Wild guess, but I'd check if ID_VIEW_DRAWTOOLBAR happens to be defined with the same number as some other command...

Otherwise, I suggest setting a breakpoint in CMDIFrameWnd::OnCmdMsg() (it's in MFC's winmdi.cpp) with a condition (nID==ID_VIEW_DRAWTOOLBAR) and following the execution from there through the debugger to see how the message is routed and where it's being handled.
