Hi
I have below the following piece of code in a vc++6 MFC dialog project. i want to have it that the ip address can be entered into a "edit box" and that ip address can then be pinged.

im guessing that i change the WHERE Address=\"127.0.0.1\"" to WHERE Address='"+Addy+"'" or is that wrong?

how do i declare the variable Addy, as i have tried a few but no sucess

please help

Existing code....
hres = pSvc->ExecQuery( L"WQL", L"SELECT * FROM Win32_PingStatus WHERE Address=\"127.0.0.1\"", WBEM_FLAG_FORWARD_ONLY, NULL, &pEnumerator);

Are you wanting something like:

CString strIPAddress = L"127.0.0.1";
CString strQuery;
strQuery.Format(L"SELECT * FROM Win32_PingStatus WHERE Address = %s", (LPCTSTR) strIPAddress);
hres = pSvr->ExecQuery(L"WQL", strQuery, ...);

thx for the reply

but that turned up two errors...

1) error C2664: 'void __cdecl CString::Format(const char *,...)' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'unsigned short [50]' to 'const char *'
Types pointed to are unrelated; conversion requires reinterpret_cast, C-style cast or function-style cast

2) error C2664: 'ExecQuery' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'class CString' to 'unsigned short *const '

So try removing the Ls from the string literals. Are you using Unicode or not?

i honstly couldnt tell you as visual c++ is new to me, im still just getting to hand with these new variable types.

the error i get now is as follows....
error C2664: 'ExecQuery' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'char [4]' to 'unsigned short *const '

my code is now....
CString strIPAddress = "127.0.0.1";

CString strQuery;

strQuery.Format("SELECT * FROM Win32_PingStatus WHERE Address = %s", (LPCTSTR) strIPAddress);

hres = pSvc->ExecQuery("WQL", strQuery, WBEM_FLAG_FORWARD_ONLY, NULL, &pEnumerator);

many thanks for your help

Put the L back in front of the "WQL" string - ExecQuery() is expecting a Unicode string, which is what the 'L' specifies.

In trying that i still get an error

the error is....

error C2664: 'ExecQuery' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'class CString' to 'unsigned short *const '

my code is......
CString strIPAddress = "127.0.0.1";
CString strQuery;
strQuery.Format("SELECT * FROM Win32_PingStatus WHERE Address = %s", (LPCTSTR) strIPAddress);
hres = pSvc->ExecQuery(L"WQL", strQuery, WBEM_FLAG_FORWARD_ONLY, NULL, &pEnumerator);

Does this help?

that shows the followng error

Have you done any Unicode programming? You need to convert your string to Unicode. Include the atlconv.h file and do this:

CString strIPAddress = _T("127.0.0.1");
CString strQuery;
strQuery.Format(_T("SELECT * FROM Win32_PingStatus WHERE Address = %s"), (LPCTSTR) strIPAddress);
hres = pSvc->ExecQuery(L"WQL", T2W(strQuery), WBEM_FLAG_FORWARD_ONLY, NULL, &pEnumerator);

This will ensure that all the strings are of the correct type and should work nicely.

hi
no luck there with the above code, any idea whats wrong?

i get the following errors....

error C2065: '_lpa' : undeclared identifier

error C2679: binary '=' : no operator defined which takes a right-hand operand of type 'class CString' (or there is no acceptable conversion)

error C2065: '_convert' : undeclared identifier

reading a string from a file

6-Mar-06 9:27

just found the problem, did a look up on MSDN and you need to specify

USES_CONVERSION;

wohoo, finally it works!

Hi,

I have an MFC application in which I have to read a string from a file.
For Example, somewhere in the file I have something like: <>12345<>, and I have to find the <> and then read the 12345 string.
(the file I am reading from is not an HTML file).
The string can be somewhere in the file - in the beginning, end or somewhere in the middle.

how can I do this?

Read the file into a CString object, then use the Find() method.

How do I read the file into a CSring object?
And, after I find the location of the <>, how can I isolate the "12345" string?

Thanks Smile | :)

David Crow2-Mar-06 8:28

Just take what is between >> and <<.

It does not have to be a CString object, but since you are using MFC, that's why I suggested it. Use CFile::Read().

does CFile::Read()return a CString obbject (I don't have MSDN at the moment, that's why I'm asking)

How do I do that? with Right/Left functions?

If you use a CStdioFile you can use the ReadString() function to read the line directly into a CString.

ReadString(input);

then you can do the find on your input

int endtag = input.Find(">>", 0);

Why is common sense not common?

Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level where they are an expert.

Oh yeah and the function you want to use for getting that 12345 is the Mid() function.

<code>
typedef struct alcPacket
{
	char workStationID[20];
	char NTLogin[20];

</code>

Sender :

<code>

strcpy(alcp->NTLogin,"xyz");
strcpy(alcp->workStation,"yahoo");

nRet = sendto(hSocket,(char*)alcp,sizeof(alcPacket),0,(struct sockaddr*)&stDstAddr,sizeof(stDstAddr));

Receiver :

	printf("%s",alcp->NTLogin);
	printf("%s",alcp->workStationID);

Everthing works fine.. but i get a the output for NTLogin is preceded by a long streak of ÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌxyz
the out put looks like

ÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌxyz
Yahoo

ÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌÌxyz

how can i remove that junk from NTLogin? Frown | :(

what's wrong? Unsure | :~

Have you tried
ZeroMemory(alcp, sizeof(alcp);

and then send it?

bum... and I thought I´d got rid of all the bugs Frown | :(

This looks suspicious. Try:

alcPacket_t alcp;
alcp = new alcPacket;
strcpy(alcp->NTLogin, "xyz");

sorry for late reply David, just got into this(sock) module in a round robin fashion. hmm but the problem is still there. Frown | :(

i have some fundamental doubt :

<code>

typedef struct alcPacket
{
        char workStationID[20];
        char NTLogin[20];
}*alcPacket_t;

</code>

Why the sizeof alcPaket shows 120 ?
and in the receiving end, tested the strlen for the

<code>
    nRet = recvfrom(hSocket,achInBuf,120,0,(struct sockaddr*)&stSrcAddr,&addr_size);
	alcp = (alcPacket_t)achInBuf;
	//ZeroMemory(alcp->NTLogin,60);
	printf("\n%s",alcp->NTLogin);
	printf("\n%d",strlen(alcp->NTLogin));
	printf("\n%s",alcp->workStationID);
	printf("\n%d",strlen(alcp->workStationID));
</code>

It prints the values as
48 for NTLogin WRONG, with that junk characters
11 for Workstation ID.RIGHT

what could be the problem ?? Confused | :confused:
