Could anyone give me an example of some code that would dump the contents of a file, line by line, into an array?

Re: Arrays

Christian Graus19-Jan-02 12:47

ifstream str(_T("Myfile.txt"));
if (!str.is_open())
{
AfxMessageBox(_T("Could not open file"));
return FALSE;
}

vector<string> file_contents;
copy(istream_iterator<string>(str), istream_iterator<string>(), back_inserter(file_contents));

This assumes you've done the approproate includes (fstream, vector, algorithm, string I believe ) and the appropriate using std:: commands ( ifstream, vector, back_iterator, string and copy ).

I've just tested this ( and found my typo, sorry ), and it works, but it builds a list of words, not sentences. I dunno off the top of my head how to get a stream to not take a space as a delimiter.

With thanks to the wise folks at comp.lang.c++, here is a version that reads a line at a time into the vector:

#include <string>
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>
#include <fstream>
#include <iostream>

using std::copy;
using std::vector;
using std::string;
using std::ifstream;
using std::ostream_iterator;
using std::cout;
using std::back_inserter;
using std::getline;

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
string currentLine;

ifstream str("c:\\winzip.log");
if (!str.is_open())
{
cout << "It's stuffed\n";
return -1;
}

vector<string> file_contents;

while ( getline(str, currentLine) )
{
file_contents.push_back(currentLine);
}

copy(file_contents.begin(), file_contents.end(), ostream_iterator<string>(cout, "\n"));

return 0;
}

Redimensioning Arrays

How can I change the size of an array?

i need to change from a zero-size array to a n-bytes array
ex:

BYTE anything[];

and after some code :

redimensionfunction(anything[], length);

i am using vc++ 6

Christian Graus19-Jan-02 11:25

19-Jan-02 11:25

You have two options.

1/ USe a pointer. Then you can do this:BYTE * pByte = new BYTE[256];

// use it

delete [] pByte;

pByte = new BYTE[300];

Of course every time you resize, you lose all the contents of the array.

2/ Use vector. Like this:

#include <vector>

vector<BYTE> vecBytes;

for (int i = 0; i < 256; ++i)
vecBytes.push_back(i);

now you have an array of 256 values that can be accessed using [n] notation if you like, or the .at function. But you can also delete from the ends and add new items dynamically at will.

If you want to delete from the middle you want list, but beware, list has the problem of slower access to individual fields ( as it's a linked list it must step through to the element you want )

Hi use malloc and realloc
ex.
void *pV = NULL ;
...
...
..
//now u want to allocate 100 bytes
pV = malloc( 100 ) ;
...
..
..
//Now u want to make the same memory 200 bytes.
pV = realloc(pV, 200);
..
..
//Now u want to make it 50 bytes
pV = realloc(pV, 50) ;

Christian Graus19-Jan-02 12:37

Do NOT use malloc/realloc if you can at all avoid it. They are C functions, and new/delete is highly preferred, especially for complex types. The best reason for this is the fact that new/delete call constructors/destructors and the C functions do not.

i use globalalloc() and globalfree() and globalrealloc() a lot and they work just fine if you remember to free the memory when u finished with it

whats the problem with this?

There's no *problem* per se, but if you mix C and C++ memory allocationj calls, you need to be careful not to free something you new'd. You also don't get the benefit of constructors and destructors. If you need to realloc, you should instead use a container like vector. Your code will obviously work, but the way of doing things I am suggesting is *better*.

To read Stroustrup on this ( and I've pretty much quoted him, so you don't need to as such ), turn to page 577 of the third edition of the C++ Programming Language.

Youve all see the new napster Beta i assume, how did they create the toolbar logo. ive tried using a background bitmap but it stays in the same position when the window is resized. i wish mine to glue to the window edge so it will always be on the right hand side frame edge.

I realize I am years behind the times but I am just now moving from VC 5 to VC 6. However, because of third party objects, one application will have to remain in the VC 5.0 environment.

Anyway, do any of you good people know of or have a utility to swap back and forth the debug libraries for each product?

Or maybe even a list of objects that are not compatible?

thanks Blush | :O

I have heard of such a utility, but never seen it.

If it just the one application you could put a copy of the 5.0 debug dlls in that applications debug directory. If you are running the 5.0 debug version beyond that testing environment put it in a seperate directory and put a copy of the debug 5.0 dlls there.

creating instance of class in other class?

19-Jan-02 8:03

I've created sdi app using mfc AppWizard and have created my own classes in a header file called game.h.

What I want to do is create an instance of that class in my CChildView (CWnd) class.
ie.

(in the file ChildView.h)

#include "game.h"

CChildView : CWnd
{
//blah blah

protected:
CGame *game;
};

When I do this though I get this error
"error C2011: 'CGame' : 'class' type redefinition"

The reason I'm trying to do this is that I need all of my CChildView functions to have access to this CGame instance and it seems like an easy way to do it.

Any suggestions?

Re: creating instance of class in other class?

Christian Graus19-Jan-02 11:14

Need help.. some MFC function

19-Jan-02 11:14

The file is getting included more than once. Does your class have a #ifndef CGAME$%)(^@($% type macro wrapping it ?

Try including the header file in your .cpp file and putting a dummy class definition in the .h, as in

class CGame;

As we know..
MFC have the GetDlgItemText function to retrieves the string (char datatype)
and GetDlgItemInt function to translate the text into integer value. (integer datatype)
But I wonder is there any function for Float datatype?
If you know .. please explain along with the parameter within the function.
Thanks..

No there is not such function, but you can use atof() to convert the string you got from GetDlgItemText() to a float

hope this helps

I would like to convert the integer value to float value.
I got some error when I used atof function.
Do u know any function that same as atof() that convert integer to float?
Thanks a lot.

Maybe something like this:

int i = 10;
float f = 0.0;
f = (float) i;
