When read big excel file, it takes many time to read cell one by one.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I'm Using Library for Office
// Loop through the data and report the contents.
for (int rowCounter = 1; rowCounter <= iRows; rowCounter++) {
for (int colCounter = 1; colCounter <= iCols; colCounter++) {
index[0]=rowCounter;
index[1]=colCounter;
COleVariant vData;
saRet.GetElement(index,vData);
CString szdata(vData);
valueString += szdata;
valueString += "\t";
}
valueString += "\r\n";
}
In this example, it's using loop to read cells, the reading speed is not good.

Which library?

It is using the loops to extract the values from the safe array. But the data are already in memory of your application. You missed the call that retrieves the data from Excel:
COleSafeArray saRet(oRange.get_Value(covOptional));

Hi all!,
I've been working on a code to develop a tracking game with a haptic device as controller. I use library Chai3D and OpenGL.
I need to save some information of the game during the program execution. And write into a txt file.
I'm attaching part of my code where mentioning vector objects need to be saved:
void updateHaptics(void)
{
while(simulationRunning)
{
cVector3d newPosition1,newPosition2;
hapticDevices[0]->getPosition(newPosition1);
hapticDevices[1]->getPosition(newPosition2);
cMatrix3d newRotation1, newRotation2;
hapticDevices[0]->getRotation(newRotation1);
hapticDevices[1]->getRotation(newRotation2);
cursors[0]->setPos(newPosition1);
cursors[1]->setPos(newPosition2);
cursors[0]->setRot(newRotation1);
cursors[1]->setRot(newRotation2);
cVector3d linearVelocity1, linearVelocity2;
hapticDevices[0]->getLinearVelocity(linearVelocity1);
hapticDevices[1]->getLinearVelocity(linearVelocity2);
velocityVectors[0]->m_pointA = newPosition1;
velocityVectors[0]->m_pointB = cAdd(newPosition1, linearVelocity1);
velocityVectors[1]->m_pointA = newPosition2;
velocityVectors[1]->m_pointB = cAdd(newPosition2, linearVelocity2);
double Kp = 60.0; double Kb = 3.0;
cVector3d newForce (0,0,0);
cVector3d coupledForce1 = cMul(Kp, (newPosition1-newPosition2))-(cMul(Kb, (linearVelocity2)));
newForce.add(coupledForce1);
hapticDevices[1]->setForce(newForce);
cVector3d newForce1 (0,0,0);
cVector3d coupledForce2 = cMul(Kp, (newPosition2-newPosition1))-(cMul(Kb, (linearVelocity1)));
newForce1.add(coupledForce2);
hapticDevices[0]->setForce(newForce1);
}
simulationFinished = true;
}
On the above code I need to save these objects into a file
cVector3d newForce
cVector3d NewForce1
Please help me how to make a provision to save these file effectively into a txt file.
Basically I dont have much idea on saving , writing into files.
Thanks in advance!

There is an edit link below your post which should be used rather than posting a new question.
There is also a delete link. Please use that to delete your first question.
To write the elements to a text file, you may open the file using fopen() and then print the elements using fprintf():
FILE *f = fopen(fileName, "wb");
fprintf(f, "%lf %lf %lf\r\n", newForce.x, newForce.y, newForce.z);
fprintf(f, "%lf %lf %lf\r\n", newForce1.x, newForce1.y, newForce1.z);
fclose(f);
Depending on the required accuray it may be necessary to specify the number of significant digits to be printed (see the printf() format specifications).
[EDIT]
The above is for Windows text files. For Unix text files remove the '\r' from the fprintf() format strings.

Hey Thank you Jochen!.
Im just wondering how can i make use of a buffer where intitially I can dumb my data..and once the execution is completed writing into a file..do you have a suggestion?.
|

You can do it similar using sprintf() to print to a buffer and then write the buffer to file:
char buffer[128];
char *p = buffer;
int n = sprintf(p, "%lf %lf %lf\r\n", newForce.x, newForce.y, newForce.z);
s += n;
sprintf(p, "%lf %lf %lf\r\n", newForce1.x, newForce1.y, newForce1.z);
FILE *f = fopen(fileName, "wb");
fwrite(buffer, 1, strlen(buffer), f);
fclose(f);
But as you can see this is much more code and it is insecure without checking for buffer overflows (which adds more code).
If you don't need the data to be in text format (e.g. only loaded by your application), it might be better to write the data to a binary file. That solves also the problem of inaccuracies when converting floating point values to text and back again later.
Example:
FILE *f = fopen(fileName, "wb");
fwrite(&newForce.x, sizeof(newForce.x), 1, f);
fclose(f);
Reading is then done in a similar way:
FILE *f = fopen(fileName, "rb");
fread(&newForce.x, sizeof(newForce.x), 1, f);
fclose(f);

Many thanks Jochen!! .
I'm planning to use just one file containing information about two forces, something like this:
timestamp newforce(X Y Z) newForce1(X Y Z))
where the values of x,y,z will be in column.
fprintf(pFile, "%lf %lf %lf\r\n %lf %lf %lf\r\n", newForce.x, newForce.y, newForce.z, newForce1.x, newForce1.y, newForce1.z);
do you think it's a right assignment?, I mean how can I write data effectively into the file with proper indentation?

You can use the printf format specifiers (see http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/cstdio/printf/[^]).
Using the width specifier, all numbers will have the same width padded with blanks. For proper alignment of the decimal point you should also use the precision specifier and the flag specifier (use a space or minus). The final values to be used depend on the range of your values and the required precision. Assuming a range up to (but excluding) 100 and a precision of 2 fractional digits:
Precision = 2
Width = 1 (sign) + 2 (digits) + 1 (decimal point) + 2 (digits) = 6
Then use the format "% 6.2f" for each value:
fprintf(pFile, "% 6.2f % 6.2f % 6.2f\r\n% 6.2f % 6.2f % 6.2f\r\n",
newForce.x, newForce.y, newForce.z, newForce1.x, newForce1.y, newForce1.z);
For the time stamp you can use the strftime()[^] function.

I tried as u suggested , but now the data I'm getting is kind of overflowing, I mean it's always generating a data txt file of 1kb!!
|
|
|
|

You may give an example of your data. Inspecting the text file may also give a hint what is going wrong.
[EDIT]
I have replaced the usage of "%lf" by "%f" in my post. But this should make no difference with MS compilers.

Hi Jochen,
I'm getting data like this
18832315686612578000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000.00 18832315686612578000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000.00 18832315686612578000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000.00
18832315686612578000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000.00 18832315686612578000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000.00 18832315686612578000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000.00
It's 2 raws of numbers..3,5 lines are continuation of 1st line..ans so 4,6 ..
It's basically limited to 1kb irrespective of the duration of experiment

That are quite large numbers. Are they the correct values? If your numbers are in that range, you should use the "%E" format.

Hi Jochen,
Now it's working perfectly!. I did a a mistake in closing the file. Thank you so much for your prompt and precise feedback!.

Fine that all is working now and thank you for the feedback.

Hi Jochen,
The data i'm getting is of very large sample. I use a inbuilt thread class calls at very high frequency. Basically I want to reduce the sampling rate so that I'll get significant data with less samples..Do you have any idea how to create periodic thread with a fixed frequency?
|
|
|
|
|
It is difficult to answer this without knowing how samples are triggered, new data are signaled, and what is done by your thread class.
When sampling is triggered by your app, you can control the frequency. If it is free running you may skip samples (e.g. processing only every second one).
When using a worker thread you usually call a wait function (e.g. WaitForSingleObject) that returns upon events or a time out. The time out value can be used for periodic execution.

Basically two functions one is for updating graphics and other for haptics rendering. Haptic rendering sampling rate is quite large compared to graphics. In the library I'm using there is a thread class basically gives priority to haptic and graphics rendering. But I'm not able to see any section in the code where they access system timing and setting sampling rate etc.
I'm thinking about assigning some condition inside data will be written into the file at a rate of 100 samples per second. There is an inbuilt precision clock with the library, so if I've I can get cpu time with precision clock , how can formulate a condition to write data at a rate 100Hz??

As far as I understood you have a haptic device which is some kind of hardware which generates data at a frequency defined by the hardware. If the library does not provide functions to set the sample rate, it is probably fixed. The thread is then activated when new data are available.
But again, without knowing the hardware and the library (which acesses the hardware specific driver), it is rather impossible to answer.
Do you want to write the data to a file with 100 Hz. This is probably too fast (especially when the file must be opened for each write). It again depends on your requirements (who is reading the file). If the data should be read by another process, you may use some kind of IPC (Inter Process Communication).
Regarding timers:
Windows has no high resolution timers. While it is possible to measure times with high resolution (QueryPerformanceCounter), the system timers have a resolution of about 10 ms by default and can be tweaked down to 1 ms.

What about the waitable timers? SetWaitableTimer[^]
Quote: pDueTime [in]
The time after which the state of the timer is to be set to signaled, in 100 nanosecond intervals.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Windows uses internally 100 ns based times (FILETIME structure). But this does not mean that the internal timer tick is running with a resolution of 100 ns.
There are undocumented functions to query the range of resolution and set the resolution (NtQueryTimerResolution, NtSetTimerResolution). On a typical system, the range is 0.5 to 15.6 ms.

How can I configure a periodic thread of particular frequency?
