Hi all ..
I am trying to make an exe which will save the data entered by user in a text format.
Its also possible to import the text file to the editbox.. I have four editboxes and these four will be having different data.. but once i store it in text format it will be in one file and during importing the complete data will be in all four edit boxes..
I want to filter out the data for specific editboxes while importing.. Editboxes are Critical, Important, Less Important and Normal.....
Can snybody help me how to filter out the specific data...
iam including my code here.. also my text format...plz hav a look and guide me...
thanku so much
void CNoteDlg::OnOpen()
{
FILE * pFile;
CFile flEdit;
char strFilter[] = { "Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt|*.txt (*.*)|*.*||" };
CFileDialog FileDlg(TRUE, ".txt", "Prioritynotes",OFN_HIDEREADONLY | OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT,
strFilter,NULL);
if( FileDlg.DoModal() == IDOK )
{
char c;
CString mystring;
pFile = fopen ("D:\\Prioritynotes.txt" , "r");
if (pFile == NULL) perror ("Error opening file");
else
{
while (!feof(pFile))
{
c = fgetc (pFile);
mystring+= c;
if (c=='\n')
{
mystring.TrimRight();
char d[3];
d[0] = 0x0D;
d[1]= 0x0A;
d[2]= 00;
mystring+= d;
m_sedit1 = mystring;
m_sedit2 = mystring;
m_sedit3 = mystring;
m_sedit4 = mystring;
UpdateData(FALSE);

If it's a professional app (which i feel is not the case), then you can use xml with four nodes and data for each node.
If you are making for learning purposes, then just insert a unique tag say <!!!TAG - 001!!!> and then dump all data for tag1. Similarly for tag2,3..
while reading data, search for <!!!TAG - 001!!!> and read data till you reach EOF or another TAG.
Now regarding searching of tags, use something like
while(*fp != '<') fp++;
if(fp == EOF) byebye.
if(read_next_9_characters() != "!!!TAG - ")
then read tag number and check for "!!!>" if it's present.
Read all data for current tag number and store.
Similarly for searching for another tags.
I am sure you can find many articles on searching string in a file in C/C++
An example is here [<a href="http://www.tutorialized.com/view/tutorial/Searching-for-a-string-in-a-File/9990" target="_blank">^</a>]
Other languages like python have built-in search capabilities for regular expressions search which makes this task very easy. other members can put more light on that.

thanks for the reply....
ya ur assumption is rite. im a student...
iam a beginner in vc++ and hav only very lil background in programming..
this is my first attempt...
may i know how to insert a tag ....
and as per my attempt i need to get the data after the string Critical**** from text file to be printed in first editbox and simlarly the other three...
hope u wud help me out

by inserting a tag, I only meant writing some special string in a text file which has very little probability of appearing in the text entered by user. That tag serve as a flag that tells the reader of file that data for a different edit box begin here.

Have you tried:
CStdioFile file("D:\\Prioritynotes.txt", CFile::modeRead);
CString str;
file.ReadString(str);
m_edit1.SetWindowText(str);
m_edit2.SetWindowText(str);
m_edit3.SetWindowText(str);
m_edit4.SetWindowText(str);

What exactly is the question here? Are you trying to write to a file, or read from it?

i am able to save the contents of edit box to the text file now.. this is how i did it...
CString S1;
CString A;
CStdioFile flEdit;
CFileDialog FileDlg(FALSE, ".txt","Prioritynotes",
OFN_HIDEREADONLY | OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT, szFilter);
if( FileDlg.DoModal() == IDOK )
{
if( flEdit.Open(FileDlg.GetPathName(), CFile::modeCreate | CFile::modeWrite) == FALSE )
return;
S1 += "Critical****";
S1 += nextline;
S1 += "--------------------------";
S1 += nextline;
flEdit.Write(S1, S1.GetLength());
A.Empty();
m_edit1.GetWindowText(A);
flEdit.Write(A, A.GetLength());
S1 = '\0';
now i want to retrieve the data under each name to the respective edit boxes once i click open in file menu....

Meaning that you want to read from the file. You do know that CStdioFile has ReadString() (and WriteString()), don't you?

yes i know we can use ReadString and WriteString.. but how to combine dat wit CEdit and make it display in edit box i dont know..
plz bear with me ...

If you are unfamilar with the ReadString() and WriteString() methods, why not consult the documentation?

thanks again David.. with ur guidance i succeded in completing the project...
my exe is workin fine... iam able to save the contents of editox to text file and import the data from the same text file....
thanking u once again...
my code for OnSave includes
S1 += "Critical****";
S1 += nextline;
S1 += "--------------------------";
S1 += nextline;
flEdit.Write(S1, S1.GetLength());
A.Empty();
m_edit1.GetWindowText(A);
flEdit.Write(A, A.GetLength());
S1 = '\0';
flEdit.Write(S1, S1.GetLength());
flEditClose()
and my code for OnOPen includes
CString mystring;
CString buffer1;
pFile = fopen ("Prioritynotes.txt" , "r");
if (pFile == NULL) perror ("Error opening file");
else
{
while (!feof(pFile))
{
c = fgetc (pFile);
mystring+= c;
if (c=='\n')
{
mystring.TrimRight();
//CODE FOR EXTACTING THE CONTENTS UNDER EACH TITLE
char d[3];
CString test = mystring;
CString crt = "Critical****" ;
CString line = "--------------------------";
CString imp= "Important***";
CString les = "Less Important**";
CString nor = "Normal*";
if(test==crt)
{
mystring ="";
z=1;
}
if(z==1)
{
if(test==imp)
{
mystring =" ";
z=2;
buffer2+=mystring;
m_edit2.SetWindowText(buffer2);
mystring ="";
}
if(mystring !="--------------------------")
{
d[0] = 0x0D;
d[1]= 0x0A;
d[2]= 00;
mystring+= d;
buffer1+=mystring;
m_edit1.SetWindowText(buffer1);
mystring = "" ;
}
}
//SIMILARLY FOR OTHER TITLES....

It's not very efficient, but if it works for you...

Hi Friends
I have function, show below coded in "Test.h"
void Msg()
{
....
}
I copied "Test.h" to include folder of VC++
Can i use Msg function in a project without adding "Test.h" in project solution ?
Just like below
In stdafx.h file
#include <test.h>
thanks in advance

You have to include Test.h.
You can either include it directly in the file in which you're going to call Msg or you can include it in stdafx.h and then include stdafx.h in the file in which you're going to call Msg.

Hello, in my aplication there are two dialogs CCalibracionDlg and DlgMap1 both derived from Cdialog, when I press a button in DlgMap1 i have to send a message to CCalibracionDlg, how can i do this?
I've been trying to do this with PostMessage(hWnd, WM_MYCUSTOMMESSAGE,(WPARAM) wParam,(LPARAM) lParam ); or SendMessage , but in DlgMap1 how can i get the hWnd to CCalibracionDlg?
Thanks in advance.

How and where in the code are you creating CCalibracionDlg?
You must be having the object of CCalibracionDlg in your appplication. Why cant you share it with DlgMap1 class?
|
|
|
|
|
well i dont think sendMessage is a good option if they are belonging to the same application and thread.
one method will be use FindWindowEx, that give you the handle if you specify the name of the dialog.

I've been trying to do this with PostMessage(hWnd, WM_MYCUSTOMMESSAGE,(WPARAM) wParam,(LPARAM) lParam ); or
Better to have an 'object' or pointer of CCalibracionDlg in DlgMap1.U can get handle through object.GetSafeHWND(). Or Simply u can call object.SendMessage(..) or object.PostMessage()

The objet from i'd like send the message is CDlgMap1 to the objet CCalibracionDlg, so you say that i have to put this code in the apropiate function in CDlgMap1 : CCalibracionDlg.PostMessage(...)?
|
|
|
|
|
yeaa.. exactly. As you want to send message to a window from another window in same application, u can simply use a Callback or a direct function call. But if the situation needs, such as you need to call the function many times, its better to use PostMessage or sendMessage.

Well , thanks to all, finaly i get the solution with:
GetParent()->PostMessage(WM_MyMessage,NULL,NULL);
