You seem to be confused, firetrucks don't have a source code but a chassis.

Unless your firetruck hits a firewall, there will be no source code involved.

You can always read data in chunks. Do you mean how to load the entire 4GB into RAM?

Not exactly, i want to find some data in that file.
So need to until that point is enough, but that search may be on last part.
So i need a mechanism to do so.
I believe CreateFileMapping can be used, do u think, its a good solution?

So you indeed need to read data in chunks as I said. Load a chunk and perform the search. Keep loading the next part of the file into the chunk until you get the data.

To do this, you may use memory mapped file or one of the various read(...) functions (Win32 API, CRT etc). Either way, you would still have to read the file in chunks.

What function are you talking about, and why do want to convert it to a DLL?

Convert from what? And what does this have to do with C/C++?

This is a strange question. DLLs export functions, so I guess you're asking how to make a DLL that exports the function? I suggest you read up on DLLs.

Sorry... this is my problem... I have no experience in C++ although I understand the logic in this feature... but I want to write it in VB.net. Instead of thinking how all the Windows libraries that work similarly like C++. I was thinking of compile this C++ project into DLL so that I can import the DLL in my VB.net. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way.

Or, you guys as experts... got any idea what should I do with this? Thanks

Hi,
I faced few interview questions in C++. I'm new to C++. Please let me know the answers for the below questions.

* Whats the lookup plan for hash table and linkedlist
* Use of Red-Black Tree
* which datastructure is preferrable to store name, address and phone values
* How mutex works internally

Thanks in advance

Rather than asking someone to give you answers to pass your interview, you would do better to buy a book on C++ and learn it before attempting such an interview.

Some brief answers...

1. Hash tables can look up items very quickly, at the cost of more space and a fixed size. This is their main advantage. A linked list is good for unknown amounts of data; it grows as you add more data. Lookup requires going though (on the average) half the list, so is generally slow.

2. A red-black tree uses one extra bit of storage per node to avoid the worst-case binary trees (skewed). (A scapegoat tree accomplishes this without the 1-bit overhead per node.)

3. A class.

4. All mutual-exclusion mechanisms ultimately depend on an atomic test-and-set operation, which determines if another thread is accessing a critical resource, and sets a flag at the same time if the resource is free. This must be done by hardware; if this capability isn't available, no pure-software solution will be able to provide mutual exclusion.

At What Conditions,
CStudioFile::ReadString() Gives/Returns the FALSE value?

I know that,What is available in the MSDN ,
AnyBody Know the another Conditions Please,
Tell me.

And
In a File Consists the Lines In one Condition "m_pString" doesn't take the line in the File?

Why it Happen? Any body know Please give me Reply....

What make you think there are other condition than what is describe in the documentation ? Do you have a test case that will trigger a FALSE ?

It returns FALSE (or NULL depending on which version you call) if no data is read before the end-of-file.

So what is the issue ?

You open the file, read the file line by line with CStdIO::ReadString and do what ever you want with each string :

something like :

CStdioFile myFile(_T("C:\\path\\to\\your\\file.txt"), CFile::modeRead |CFile::typeText  );

CString myString;
while (myFile.ReadString( myString ) )
{
    // do something with my string.
    std::wcout << myString.GetBuffer() << std::endl;

}

Watched code never compiles.
