Extracting multiple cab files

29-Mar-07 3:28

There are multiple places that you could put breakpoints, or at least add TRACE() statements, to confirm the values are what you expect.

void CPingThread::LogMessage(CString& logmsg)
{
    TRACE(%s\n", logmsg);
    if (m_pLogWnd)
    {
        ping_pasiin_val SP_obj_val;
        TRACE(%d\n", ping_int);
        SP_obj_val.index = ping_int;
        TRACE(%s\n", ping_str);
        SP_obj_val.url = ping_str;
 
        LRESULT lRes = m_pLogWnd->SendMessage(PINGMSG, (WPARAM)(CString*)&logmsg, (LPARAM)(&SP_obj_val));
        TRACE(%d\n", lRes);
    }
}
 
LRESULT CHttp::OnPingLogMessage(WPARAM wparam, LPARAM lparam)
{
    CString* pLogMessage = (CString *) wparam;
    TRACE(%s\n", *pLogMessage);
    struct recv_val* pStruct = (recv_val *)(LPVOID)lparam;
    int u = pStruct->Recv_index;
    TRACE(%d\n", u);
    CString result_val = *pLogMessage;
 
    if(result_val.Find("-") <= -1)
    {
        BOOL b = m_Main_List.SetItemText(u, 7, *pLogMessage);
        TRACE(%d\n", b);
        return 1;
    }
 
    return 0;
}

Hi,
Could you please let me know, if we have to extract multiple cab files do we have to create those many instances of CExtract class? and make corresponding entries (e.g ID_CAB_TEST) in resource file?
We have many cab files to extract and at runtime we are reading the names of the files. We wont have the list of all cab files before compilation to add in the resource file.

Please let me know if it is possible to extract multiple cab files without making their entries in the resource file. If yes, how.

Regards,
Rupal.

WriteFile Issue

Hi all,

I'm trying to append data to the end of a file. The problem is that when I call the WriteFile function (it return 1), but none of the data gets appended. The buffer isn't empty. What could be the problem ???
I have used GetLastError, and the function returns 0 ... so Confused | :confused:

This is what I have done so far:

#define BUFF_SIZE 4000
char buffer[BUFF_SIZE];
/*
I did a CreateFile and ReadFile, to get data into the buffer
*/
Handle hFile = CreateFile(attTMPFName,
      GENERIC_WRITE,
      0,
      NULL,
      OPEN_EXISTING,
      FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL,
      NULL);

if (WriteFile(hFile ,buffer,BUFF_SIZE,&dwBytesWritten,NULL))
{
 ...

Many thanx in advance.

call SetFilePointer() after the CreateFile()

::SetFilePointer( hFile, 0 , NULL, FILE_END );// Moves the pointer to the end of file.

but I cannot find where do you move the write pointer (see SetFilePointer on MSDN) at the end of the file, do you?

Ok, you are reading the buffer from same file you opened and appending it with same buffer.
But, you have mentioned GENERIC_WRITE flag. Then how it is possible ?

Sorry prasad_som, I didn't explain properly.
I use bufferA and HandleA to open / read the first file (lets call it file1.txt).
Then I use bufferB and HandleB to open / write the second file (lets call it file2.txt).

So basically I'm appending the contents of file2 to file1.
Makes sense.
The SetFilePointer worked.

The other question I wanted to ask was: how big may ones buffer be? When writing / reading files

Many Thanx

Maximum DWORD can hold. ie. 4294967296.

In theory. In reality, it would likely be less than 2GB.

There's no way a buffer can be 4GB (which is the question I was answering). Under normal circumstances, Windows only gives each process 2GB, and not all of that is available, which is why I said "less than."

Its just addition to existing post, in lst post[^] its accumulated writing, which is most of it is present in my previous post. Which I've deleted.

, No , you dont. I'm asking you to delete yours(if you feel), I feel, I've created unnecessarily multiple posts.

Yes, mentioned figure goes to 4GB.
Where as, only 2 GB address space will beavailabl for program out of 4GB virtual memory.

I think , this will be not case with 64-bit systems though.

Ensure Correct Size

Hi again,

When using the WriteFile function:

BOOL WriteFile(
  HANDLE hFile,                    // handle to file to write to
  LPCVOID lpBuffer,                // pointer to data to write to file
  DWORD nNumberOfBytesToWrite,     // number of bytes to write
  LPDWORD lpNumberOfBytesWritten,  // pointer to number of bytes written
  LPOVERLAPPED lpOverlapped        // pointer to structure for overlapped I/O
);

How can one be accurate on the nNumberOfBytesToWrite??
I have tried strlen() and sizeof, but still it writes out the whole buffer, and not just to the (null) '\0' character.
I have declare my buffer like this:

#define BUFFER_SIZE 100000
char buffer[BUFFER_SIZE]={0};

Thanx Again Smile | :)

strlen should give you correct result. Check lpNumberOfBytesWritten, for checking number of bytes written.
