Hi again guys

i have this simple question

i have a string that holds some text

string text;

i want to search the string and replace any ("&nbs" with a space)

if i use the string.replace("&nbs"," ") it doesn't work what else do i need to specify for the function to work?

Any other ways to do it?
Thanks a lot

something like this:

find the first "&nbs"
copy the left part of the string (ie. before the &nbs) to a temp string
add a " " to the temp
in a loop:
find the next "&nbs" in the remaining (right side) string
if none found, add the remaing string to temp, and return temp
add the left part to the temp
add a " " to the temp
repeat the loop

What dosn't work? Does the compiler/linker complain? Is an exception thrown? Do any replacements happen?

It's unnecessarily using memory when it is no longer needed and we didn't free it or the program doesn't free it.

Somethings seem HARD to do, until we know how to do them.

Basically its a bug in a program where memory cant be freed up (in my experience, it happend mostly with dynamically allocated memory cells). The program will continue taking up more and more memory until it eventually crashes:

a)Your computer

b)Your program

c)Your computer (You'll crash your computer into a wall once you realize that a program crashed windows and destroyed the 100 page thesis you were writing and didnt save :P)

Hope that helps

How does one know that a memory leak is happening? Or how does one find out where the memory keak is taking place?

A memory leak is caused when an area of memory no longer has any pointers pointing to it, but it has not been freed. For example:

int *ptr = new int[10];
ptr = new int[5];

The second allocation causes a memory leak, because the memory allocated in the first line cannot be reference, but has not been freed. There is no way you can go back and reference the first memory block, so it has been "leaked".

threads share the same memory amounts, so there no need to build communication between them (such as pipe, locked tmp files, etc...).

There are many ways, ranging from thread messages (PostThreadMessage etc...) through shared memory, mailslots, pipes and shared variables (with appropriate mutexes/critical sections). Read up on them all and pick the one most suited to your application.

You can use GetParent() and from the pointer returned from this function access the edit box contents in another dialog.
