BTW, there are several sources for calculator apps on this site. I doubt they are reading anything from files though...

Here is my source code. http://stuwww.hsu.edu/j/jd147649/web/calc.cxx I have it reading in from the keyboard until you break it but I am using a compiler on our Unix server so there may be some differences. I have looked at the examples on this site and none of them have been similar to what I am trying to do. But my biggest problem is figuring out how to read in the data to where I can convert it to what I need so that after I convert to Postfix I can evaluate the problem correctly. Yes I know there is an error in it but I have not been able to sit down and look at it too much so I am expecting some skepticism as to what I am doing. Please help if at all possible and any ideas or examples would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Do you still have the source code?
Not readily. It was 15 years ago. Before, I graduated, I printed out every project and homework assignment that I ever worked on. Filled up a large binder! I consulted it a few times since, but that binder is tucked away in a box someplace.
My first question is do you have the infix-to-postfix part of the code working? In other words, do you have code that will convert
a + b * c + (d * e + f) * g ----> a b c * + d e * f + g * +
In general, when an operand is read, it is immediately placed onto the output. Operators are not immediately output, so they must be saved onto the stack. Left parenthesis are also placed onto the stack. If a right parenthesis is encountered, pop and output symbols from the stack until the corresponding left parenthesis is encountered. If an operator is encountered, pop symbols up to a symbol with lower priority.
Here is at least one example found at CP.

Hi James, I haven't had the chance to compile the code you provide, but the following line struck me as a likely error:
rators.inputdataa = temp;
I guess you'll want to store the first char pointed to by temp, so this should be instead:
rators.inputdataa = *temp;
Hope this helps a little.

Thanks alot Joaquin that was that one single error that I had referred to earlier that I had not fixed. I appreciate you bringing that to my attention. I guess right now what I am trying to do is actually get my data into the 2 different stacks. I understand how to do post fix and evaluate but as of right now I am wanting to just get it to recognize what kind of data it is that is being sent in whether it is an operand or numerical data and convert it to what is needed to evaluate it.

I apologize if I did not say this earlier but if you run this you must put a space in between each number and operand for the getline to pick it up and also one at the end.

So, after fixing this problem are you still stuck somewhere else? Are you experiencing any problematic behavior?

I am just kind of stumped as where to go next. I am just wondering do I need to read into a string or what kind of data I should read into but once I cna figure that out then I should be able to figure it out from there. I was also wondering would there be a better way than using a switch for my precedence. I am very sorry for my ignorance and I hope to get in depth into this sucker tonight. I have one week to complete it.

Well, I cannot solve your homework, so I hope some advice can put you on the right track.
First of all, this kind of problem is usually solved with one stack, not two. By inserting the numbers into one stack and the operands into another, you're losing crucial information about the orifinal postfix expression. For instance, consider the two expressions:
1 2 + 3 * [3 * (1 + 2) = 9]
1 2 3 + * [(3 + 2) * 1 = 5] According to your schema, these two expressions would be stored just the same:
number stack: 3 2 1
operation stack: * + so you're clearly doing it the wrong way. Ok so far? What you have to do is store everything into one single stack. As the stack can have to types of elements (numbers and operations), create a <ode>struct capable of storing both things, like for instance:
struct stack_element
{
bool is_operation;
}Now you have your stack with the given postfix expression conveniently stored in reverse order. You have to devise an algorithm to evaluate the contents of the stack. You can rely on the following two reduction policies:- If the top element of the stack is a number, this is what the stack evaluates to.
- If the top element is an operation then:
- Extract it from the stack.
- Recursively evaluate the first operand, yielding a number and leaving the expression for the second operand in the stack.
- Evaluate the second operand the same way.
- You have your operation and your two operands, calculate this and you're done.
I hope this is of some help. If you make some progress in your program and get stucked again, repost here trying to be specific about the particular problem you've run into.

I would like to start an MFC application that would look at the arguments (like main(argv, argc) and launch an option for me. Any help would be appreciate it. Thanks

If you look at the InitInstance function in your app class you should see something similar to:
CCommandLineInfo cmdInfo;
ParseCommandLine(cmdInfo);
Command line processing is handled here. What you want to do is create a new class derived CCommandLineInfo and replace the declaration of cmdInfo with your new class instead.
Override the ParseParam function in your CCommandLineInfo class and set whatever variables you need based on the input.
void CYourCmdLineInfo::ParseParam(const TCHAR* pszParam,BOOL bFlag,BOOL bLast)
{
if( bFlag )
{
if( lstrcmpi(pszParam, _T("MyFlag")) == 0 )
{
bMyFlag = true;
}
else if( lstrcmpi(pszParam, _T("MyOtherFlag") == 0 )
{
bMyOtherFlag = true;
}
}
CCommandLineInfo::ParseParam(pszParam, bFlag, bLast);
}

The CRT sets up the __argc and __argv variables for you, which have the same contents as argc/argv in a console mode app.

Hi All
i have a modeless dialog which i use as a wait screen.
this appears ontop of a dialog that is called
for example you click "Ok" the wait dialog appears
then once the function is completed the modless(wait) dialog disappear,
my problem is, if the user clicks away from the modless dialog, although
its still there focus can go somewhere else
how can i set the focus, on the modless dialog so that i cant click elsewhere
and that the modless dialog stays in focus until it disapears

I think you want a modal dialog. Try looking into CWnd::DoModal()

There are several possible solutions. One solution is to handle the different window focus messages and process them according.

I have an edit control that is placed inside a custom popup window that I wrote. The popup appears, and then transfers fopcus to the edit control. When the user hits an Esc or Tab key something makes the computers internal speaker "beep", I presume through a call to Beep(). Is there any way to prevent this, as it's really annoying.

ESC and TAB are handled by the default Dialog Procedure, and the beeping usually indicates something is wrong with the styles set for the popup window (don't ask me what's valid and what not, though...)

Hello guys,
I used to print the content of a RichEditText control with following code.
But now I would like to print it in landscape and with paper specifications (12cm x8.5cm).
All articles I read are talking about the famous DEVMODE, but I have no clue how to insert this DEVMODE in my existing code.
Can you hep me ?
Thanks in advance

Something like this should get you away ...
Do this to prepare the printer DC before you start printing. (pDC is a pointer to the printer DC).
CString csPrinterName = printDialog->GetDeviceName();
_TCHAR *szPrinterName = csPrinterName.GetBuffer(0);
DWORD dwRet;
HANDLE hPrinter;
if (!OpenPrinter(szPrinterName, &hPrinter, NULL))
return;
LPDEVMODE lpDevMode;
dwRet = DocumentProperties(m_hWnd, hPrinter, szPrinterName, NULL, NULL, 0);
lpDevMode = (LPDEVMODE)malloc(dwRet);
dwRet = DocumentProperties(m_hWnd, hPrinter, szPrinterName, lpDevMode, NULL, DM_OUT_BUFFER);
if (dwRet != IDOK)
{
free(lpDevMode);
ClosePrinter(hPrinter);
return;
}
if ((lpDevMode->dmFields & DM_ORIENTATION))
lpDevMode->dmOrientation = DMORIENT_LANDSCAPE;
dwRet = DocumentProperties(m_hWnd, hPrinter, szPrinterName, lpDevMode, lpDevMode, DM_IN_BUFFER|DM_OUT_BUFFER);
ClosePrinter(hPrinter);
if (dwRet != IDOK)
{
free(lpDevMode);
return;
}
pDC->ResetDC(lpDevMode);
free(lpDevMode);

Hello,
Thanks for your answer but I have some additionnal questions for you :
1) compared to my code, what do you mean by "before you start printing" ? at which moment exactly should I do this ?
2) is the way I set my paper length and height ok?
3) I tried to insert your code in mine, just before my "HDC hPrinterDC = printDialog.CreatePrinterDC();" line and I get the following compil errors : OpenPrinter, DocumentProperties and ClosePrinter are considered as undeclared identifiers ... Do I need an special include or what ?
4) pDC is a pointer to the printer DC ? How do I get this ?
5) "// add in here any other changes to the DEVMODE you need"
something like :
lpDevMode->dmPaperSize = 0;
lpDevMode->dmPaperLength = 120;
lpDevMode->dmPaperWidth = 85;
and what about the dmFields ?
Thanks in advance for extra explanations
DD

My answer was intended to set you on the right track so that you could solve the problem for yourself and learn something aliong the way. I did not and do not intend to write the code for you.
However...
1) "before you start printing" means beofre you start outputting anything to the printer DC.
3) The code is intended to prepare the printer DC so include it AFTER you create the printer DC.
Work out the rest for yourself. Don't be afraid to press F1 occasionally and read the documentation. It takes a little longer the first time but you will have learned something instead of blindly using code you don't understand.
