You can do exactly the same thing you do when you write the file (provided you know the size of the buffer written in the file).
Just replace "CFile::modeCreate | CFile::modeWrite" with CFile::modeRead
Like this (not tested)
unsigned char Disp_Buf[3000];
CFile TestFile;
CString csFileName = "C:/Documents/TestFile.txt";
TestFile.Open(csFileName,CFile::modeRead);
TestFile.Read(&Rx_Buf,3000);
testFile.Close();
BUT!!!
Just to be sure, use CFile::typeBinary when you open/create the file.
Else, there is some text conversion (CRLF-combinations) that can mess upp your values.
So, on Create:
TestFile.Open(csFileName,CFile::modeCreate | CFile::modeWrite | CFile::typeBinary);
On Read:
TestFile.Open(csFileName,CFile::modeRead | CFile::typeBinary);

i did the same for reading the file.
but I get the "assertion failed" error message in filecore.cpp at
the following line:
ASSERT(AfxIsValidAddress(lpBuf, nCount));
the code that i did is as follows:
unsigned char* Rx_Buf = new unsigned char[3000000];<br />
unsigned char* read = new unsigned char[3000000];<br />
<br />
CFile TestFile;<br />
CString csFileName;<br />
CString csFileName_var;<br />
CTime ct = CTime::GetCurrentTime();<br />
csFileName = "File_" + ct.Format("%m%d%Y%H%M%S");<br />
csFileName_var = csFileName; TestFile.Open(csFileName,CFile::modeCreate|CFile::modeWrite|CFile::typeBinary);<br />
TestFile.Write(Rx_Buf,3000000);<br />
TestFile.Close();<br />
<br />
TestFile.Open(csFileName_var,CFile::modeRead | CFile::typeBinary);<br />
TestFile.Read(&read,3000000);<br />
TestFile.Close();
i delete the two buffers at the end using delete operator.
I tried debugging but in vain. Do u have any suggestions?

Now you are doing the same mistake as before:
<br />
TestFile.Read(&read,3000000);<br />
Try this instead:
<br />
TestFile.Read(read,3000000);<br />

hey kakan,
iam trying to do the following which is the next stage in my code.
As you know, the data gets stored in a group of files. the files have to be called back or opened at a later stage to plot.
on selecting a checkbox, the default or the first file name (of say, 4 files) should be displayed in an edit bar. the edit bar goes active only on clicking the check box. the edit bar should be able to scroll through to find all the available files. the files are stored with .txt extension.
the file that gets selected gets plotted which is done by clicking another pushbutton "plot".
I cannot get the file names to be displayed in the edit bar. how do i do it?
Thanks in advance.

Hello again thathvamsi!
I'm sorry for the delay, but I have som work to do too...
I suggest you do like this (two alternatives).
1.
Show a normal file selection dialog and let the user select the file to plot.
When the user clicks the "OK" button, start plotting the file.
2.
Search for the interesting files and put their names in a listbox or combobox.
When the user double-clicks a text line, start plotting the selected file.

Hello again.
I came to think about a thing you might want to change.
Now, you are using the extension .txt for your files, and that's not the best extension to use, since .txt implies it's a text file.
And that's not true for a file filled with binary values.
I suggest you use another extension for your files, preferably something special for the plot data files, such as (for instance) .plt (for "plot") or .bin (for binary file).
If you let the user select file to plot, it will be easier to use a special extension. Then you can make a selection filter for that type of extension, and the user will only see the correct files. That will lessen the user mistakes, since the user has to select the correct file type.
Imagine what the plot would be like if the user selects an ordinary text file...

I have been succesfull in reading data from a binary file using a console application, and using cout to view thedata, but for the life of me, I can't seem to figure out how to load the data into a listview...
f.read(reinterpret_cast<char*>(&Items),sizeof(int));
m_List.InsertItem(0, Items);
What must I do to get the "Items" data loaded into the listview?
Thanks

this sets label for that item, Do you forgot to call SetItemText?

I am under the impression that
m_List.InsertColumn(0, "Header Label", LVCFMT_LEFT, 120);
sets the header label, that
m_List.InsertItem(0, "Row");
inserts a new row, and that
m_List.SetItemText(nItem, 1, "Sub Item");
inserts a new sub item to the nItem row....
With my example above, if I change
m_List.InsertItem(0, Items);
to
m_List.InsertItem(0, "Hello!");
it will insert a new row "Hello!" so the issue really is getting the variable Items to convert to the proper format to display in the listview.
That is what I am asking.
In a console window, I can display the Items extracted from the file using the reinterpret_cast<char*>&Items with a simple
cout << Items <<endl;
items has="" no="" special="" formating.
yet="" when="" i="" attempt="" to="" use=""
m_list.insertitem(0,="" items);
i="" get="" nada!
when="" use
m_list.insertitem(0,="" "items");
i="" the="" text="" "items".
i="" simply="" want="" see="" what="" is="" contained="" in="" variable="" 'items',="" within="" listview.="" i've="" made="" listview="" work,="" but="" not="" with="" my="" variable.=""
i've="" following="" link="" as="" guide,="" it="" uses="" static="" also...="" need="" convert="" data="" from="" a="" binary="" file="" view="" list...

this form of call expects LPCTSTR as second parameter.
Can you tell datatype of Items.
If you are expecting either integer of string as Items, and use above call , then you need to call conversion function to convert int to string.
Jumpin` Jeff wrote: In a console window, I can display the Items extracted from the file using the reinterpret_cast&Items with a simple

Here << operator is overloaded to display standard data type.
Am I under stood correctly, what you want to say? If not can you be specific.

As indicated with f.read(reinterpret_cast(&Items),sizeof(int));
Items is indeed an int.
So what do you recommend for the conversion?
1. sprintf
2. stringstream
3. itoa
???
Thanks again.

Why dont you directly read it in char pointer; If you are using it for displaying purpose only.

I dont know how stringstream can be used. But if possible its better. Otherwise I would have gone with sprintf.

That's actually what I intend to do... I've been successful at using sprintf, so I think I'll continue to use it. Thanks!

Ok gurus and guruettes.  I gotta one of them-there questions.
It was recently brought to my attention that one should not do much processing (or any at all for that matter) in DLLMain() (for DLLs of course) and I would like to know why, as I've been doing this for years without a problem.
So, to get things rolling, I'd like to start by quoting some of Mike Dimmick's words on the matter:
Mike Dimmick wrote: The problem is that the loader takes a process-wide lock just before entering DllMain. It also doesn't guarantee an order for calling different DLL's DllMain functions. That reduces the set of reliably callable functions to those that the loader will definitely have processed before calling your DllMain
I don't see how this could be an issue when each DLL in fact will link to any required libs they also need for each call.
[edit] Nevermind, this whitepaper[^] helped clear things up a lot. [/edit]

One of my program, renamed here as MyApp.exe, which is called by a win32 service using CreateProcess() is failing with exception. Here is the how stack look like in the Windbg from the *.mdmp file I got from the server it failed.

Is the stack corrupted? How come I don't see MyApp!main or any othre symbol from MyApp.exe on the stack? My release version of program is build with PDB. Is it possible that I'm using PDB build on different (newer) date. No change in the program has been made since it has been released. Thanks.

Hello,
I'm trying to download the html for the forum pages here on CP, so that I can pull out the messages and do something with them(i.e. sort, search, display, etc.)
When I use view source in I.E. the messages(the text i am typing now) are in the html, however, when i download the html using wininet the bodies of the posts are missing. Only the titles appear in the html ("Different html with wininet than I.E." in the case of my post).
Anyone have any clue as to why this would happen? Is there some extra part of the url that i need to enter into wininet to get the correct version of the html?
Thanks.
P.S. If this would be better placed in the Web Development forum let me know and i'll repost it there, thanks.

You are right about that. What URL are you using to download the source?

It may be because of the user-agent header. What header are you sending?
