The question you are asking makes no sense in its current form. OPC is an automation standard which can be implemented on any communication layer. I am assuming that you have some industrial PLC which are probably communicating over a serial pair using Modbus or whatever protocol and you probably want to talk to an OPC server over a cat-5 network and log some data about each node. Unfortunately you have not given enough details to form a response.

Your question really isn't C++ nor C# related. I would suggest contacting the support group where you purchased your OPC server software and/or contacting the PLC manufacturer.

Two alternatives:
(1) Change the Character Set option of your project (currently is Use Unicode Character Set). You can do this selecting Project->Properties menu item, then Configuration Properties->General node and finally the Character Set list item.

(2) Change you variable type. For instance

char msg[]="foo";

should become

TCHAR msg[]=_T("foo");

for converting const strings to wide char you can just add L.
e.g. L"SomeText".

Hi everybody..

I am doing project on gsm modem.i am reading msg from sim.that read message i want to store into database.for that i have split that sentence so please tell me how to do that.. i am doing like this..
char str[1000];
strcpy(str,m_sResults);
MessageBox(str);
char delims[] = ",";
char* result;
result = strtok( str, delims );

while(result != NULL )
{
MessageBox(result);

result = strtok( NULL, delims );

}
but doing like this is impossible to store the values.so i want to store in different variables.please help me out.
in m_sResults the sentence is
AT+CMGR=1

+CMGR: "REC READ","919860716641","P apu.soni","08/05/22,19:05:34+34",145,4,0,0,"919890081132",145,106
Call me when you reach to your pg... I on the way to room..

Don't use strtok since internally it uses a static buffer which will cause problem with calls from multiple threads or simultaneous calls on different strings.

Instead use strtok_s/_tcstok_s, a demo -> http://www.tenouk.com/cpluscodesnippet/viewtopic.php?p=474[^]

Use vector<string> to store strings that are tokenized by this function.

don't use the token related functions for delimited file streams as they are dumb when faced with somthing like...

One,Two,Three,,,Six,Seven,...

It treats the three consecutive commas as one which could lead to unexpected results if those delimiters should be treated as "nothing" values for their respective indexes.

You can also use stringstream to parse strings. Since I couldn't find a reference, i wrote a quick sample. Check it below.

#include "string"
#include "vector"
#include "sstream"
...

string sResult(_T("Hello,can,you,split,me?")); // Your result string.
istringstream ResultParser( sResult );  // Input string stream.

string sToken;
vector<string> vResults;

// Tokenize strings.
while ( getline( ResultParser, sToken, ',' ))
{
    // print tokens to console.
    vResults.push_back( sToken );
}</string>

Regards,
Jijo.

Little conversion problem

Hi. I have a little question:

I need to convert a memory direction printed on a CString variable, to a LPVOID variable. Example:

CString auxstr;
auxstr.Format(_T("%p"),p_Stereo);  //p_Stereo is a pointer to a class

//In this point I have the pointer "saved" as a CString
//and now I want to retrieve the pointer in a LPVOID variable

LPVOID pointer = (LPVOID) ??????? variter->second.value;

I don't know how to convert this string to be able to cast it as a LPVOID. Anyone knows how? Thanks.

Well as the pointer adresses are 0xADRESS, should you not convert from CString into Hex and then make the assignment?

Yes, I suppose I should. But I can`t find this conversion (from cstring to hex). Is this from the atoi, atof...family? Can't find this.

Thank you so much.

Use strtol function. Specify base as 16.

e.g.

const long Val = strtol( "0xffff", NULL, 16 );

The question, why do you store the address in a CString object in the first place ? Can't you simply store it directly in your LPVOID pointer ? It seems a bit crazy to use a CString in between.

No i can't. It's the way my program sends information between program blocks. In most cases they just send numbers or strings, but now i need to send an object.

Re: Little conversion problem

Yeah, but why do you store that address in a CString instead of simply sending the address ? You can only exchange CString objects ?

I agree, indeed they are often crazy. Anyway communication details between program blocks should not be affected by client/boss specification, since it is matter of technical implementation.
