k, say i have a structure like
struct MYSTRUCT
{
char somestring[64];
int number;
int number2;
};
now i would like to be able to write an array of this structure to a file
and then it read it again, preferable with a non fixed length, would it be possible to do this?

you can use CFile or FILE structures to print to file.
Dynamic arrays are CArrays I think. (It's been a while  )
More info on MSDN.
If you don't have MFC then you can write your own CArray class which isn't that difficult.
good luck.
No hurries, no worries.

Hello,

Yes!
Does:
std::ostream ostr;
for( int i = 0; i < nYourArraySize; i++ )
ostr << YourArray[i].somestring << YourArray[i].number << YourArray[i].number2;
help?

1: If a want to make a programs that can send and recieve requests with one another, would sockets be the usual way to construct that interface?
2: can only one program or many connect with one server on one port? ie, do I have to have an open port each time my program wants to make a simultaneous connection?
3: Is there an easy way to connect between two languages? ie some easy way to program a universal way of sending back and forth. In sockets, python has pickling and mfc has csocketfile for working with data. Is there something like this that works with both C++ and python, or should just search the libraries for this?
Thanks for the help!

Using sockets should be perfectly compatible accross languages

yeah, you can depend upon socket for universal data transfer it will work with every Socket aware langauge without any problem.

an older method is the handshake method. That's how the old modems work if I'm not mistaken.
Suppose Program A and B
A writes a file to disk for B to read and waits until B replies with a file. In the meantime B picks up the file, reads the data and replies to A etc etc.
The method is quite old and there are probably better ways, but it still works.
good luck.

Hi, can someone tell me what is a byte? how many bits does 1 byte equals to?
|
|
|
|
|
A byte is equal to 8 bits. It has the same size as a character.
|
|
|
|
|
Ok. Thanks. Is it possible to compress 8bits into a byte using RLC( Run-Length Coding)?
|
|
|
|
|
You don't need to compress anything there - a byte is 8 bits.
|
|
|
|
|
Does that means I am actually shrinking the size of the data?

Nope.
When you have an 8-bit binary number - that's a byte.
Exmaples of bytes are 10010010, 10001000, 11111111, 0 (00000000), 10000001 etc.
The decimal equivalent of the largest unsigned byte is 255. So if you have a byte variable, it can represent any of 256 values (0 included).

Ok, thank you for the info. Perhaps I will go and read up and find out my problem then I will consult help again.Thanks.

No, to compress with rle you need at minimum 4 bytes (32 bits). I assume you read the article at http://www.arturocampos.com/ac_rle.html[^] about RLE. I also believe it explains rle compression pretty well. Do you have any specific questions about the article or rle? Is your problem homework or for some other purpose? I ask this because rle is definitly not the best algorithm to use. And there are several source code compression libraries that you can download and use for free.

Only for UTF-8. You could also have UTF-16 which would be a 16-bit byte (e.g., Unicode).

AFAIK, a byte is always 8-bits.
[edit]
I just saw the reference to the article that said there used to be 6-bit bytes, but today's byte is 8-bits in length.
[/edit]
I believe UTF-16 uses a 16-bit (i.e. 2 byte) "word". Hence, MBCS, DBCS, etc. refer to multi-byte, double-byte..., etc.

Fair enough. I rarely deal with such things, so I was just mainly throwing it out on the table for further discussion.

the word byte comes from By Eight. Meaning they took eight bits together 
No hurries, no worries.

ok I stand corrected.

And here I thought is was a contraction from the Old English - 'Byte Me!'

Hi, could somebody help me?
In my C application, I try to communicate with CISCO's devices, such as router, swith. then once the connection is established, I can issue some commands to grab some data from the CISCO's device.
could somebody tell me how can I do this, and if CISCO has the related "API" that I can use ?
thanks a lot
