When you read a line from the file containing "Value =", just skip to the 19th position of that line and read the remainder of it as an int.
Another option might be to skip to the end of the file, go backward 3 bytes, and read the integer from there.
Of course these will fail in many different ways, but since you did not provide any other requirements or constraints, better solutions were withheld.

Well, if there are only two lines of text in your file, you don't even need to do that. The first line can be read and just discarded.

Thanks for ur reply but how do I "ignore" the first line after it is being read? Or how do I discard it?

How do you ignore any value/variable? Just don't use it. Read the first line from the file. Read the next line from the file. Voila! The firt line has been ignored.

Tried downloading a file on a specific location in a Non-proxy environment using InternetOpenURL() and InternetReadFile() API's. This worked fine.
But when i try the same in Proxy Environment it fails. I tried doing HttpQueryInfo() and then checking the status for HTTP_PROXY_AUTH_REQD. This is successful but when i set the username and password for Proxy Authentication and retry, it still gives me status as HTTP_PROXY_AUTH_REQD. If I continue downloading the file then junk characters are downloaded and written to the file.
Need help to make InternetOpenURL work in a Proxy Environment. (Please note that Proxy Server Details are not present with my application and i cannot bypass the Proxy Server)
Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
May I know how to calculate the number of times a character occurs in a string? Are there any function returns the number of times a character occurs in the string?
Thanks.
Regards,

Made function, no AFAIK. But you can code it quite easy. Take the String as a vector and make a for with an if and a counter. When you find the character... +1, when not... next element.

Like this:
std::string str("this is a test string only");
int num = std::count(str.begin(),str.end(),'a');
Remember:

hi,
I want to run only single instance of my application like
windows media player . can any one told me how it is possible

One of the ways in to create an inter process Thread Syncronisation object like semaphore and lock it when you start the application and unlock before exit.

Use a named mutex...
HANDLE hMutex = CreateMutex( NULL, FALSE, _T("MY_UNIQUE_MUTEX_NAME") );
if ( WaitForSingleObject( hMutex, 0 ) != WAIT_OBJECT_0 )
{
CloseHandle( hMutex );
// failure case -- someone else already owns it.... (my other instance?)
exit here!
}
.... run program
ReleaseMutex( hMutex );
CloseHandle( hMutex );

There is more than one article on codeproject on how to do this.
Search for singleton, single instance, etc.

I like to create a out of process(seperate application) webbrowser from one applicationa and want to control this webbrowser from the main program.
Any idea or link would be very helpful?
Thank you.

The are a lot of ways of course.
You may use a form of Interprocess Communication http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365574.aspx[^]
or you can build a COM out-of-process server (COM is a rather big topic however).
If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler.

hi all,
I am using ORCA to validate the product key in C# 2005 windows application.
i am using the following C++ code in a dll to be added to the MSI for validation.
UINT __stdcall ValidateSerial(MSIHANDLE hInstall)
{
TCHAR szPidKey[PIDKEY_LENGTH];
DWORD dwLen = sizeof(szPidKey) / sizeof(szPidKey[0]);
///retrieve the text entered by the user
UINT res = MsiGetPropertyA(hInstall, _T("PIDKEY"), szPidKey, &dwLen);
if(res != ERROR_SUCCESS)
{
//fail the installation
return 1;
}
bool snIsValid = true;
//validate the text from szPidKey according to your algorithm
//put the result in snIsValid
//the template we use is <###-####> = <xyz-abcd>; # digit between 0 and 9
//the algorithm is very simple (XY * Z + 7) * 13 = ABCD / 2
int xy = DIGIT(szPidKey[0]) * 10 + DIGIT(szPidKey[1]);
int z = DIGIT(szPidKey[2]);
int left = ((xy * z + 7) * 13 ) * 2;
int right = DIGIT(szPidKey[4]);
right = right * 10 + DIGIT(szPidKey[5]);
right = right * 10 + DIGIT(szPidKey[6]);
right = right * 10 + DIGIT(szPidKey[7]);
snIsValid = (left != 0) && (right != 0) && (left == right);
TCHAR * serialValid = NULL;
if(snIsValid)
serialValid = _T("TRUE");
else
{
//eventually say something to the user
::MessageBox(0, _T("Invalid Serial Number"), _T("Message"), MB_ICONSTOP);
serialValid = _T("FALSE");
}
res = MsiSetPropertyA(hInstall, _T("SERIAL_VALIDATION"), serialValid);
if(res != ERROR_SUCCESS)
{
//fail the installation
return 1;
}
//the validation succeeded - even the serial is wrong
//if the SERIAL_VALIDATION was set to FALSE the installation will not continue
return 0;
}
but when i execute the above code, i am getting the following error.
error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _MsiSetPropertyA@12 referenced in function "unsigned int __stdcall ValidateSerial(unsigned long)" (?ValidateSerial@@YGIK@Z) CustomAction.obj
i have included <msi.h> and <msiquery.h>
I am a beginner in VC++ and could anybody help me with some suggestions
Thanks in advance.

Paresh.... What my problem is that I have 4 dialogs in my existing project and i want only one in that four for reuse in my new project. How could i do this ? Help me out.

u require the design and code or only design?
|
|
|
|
|
I want only design and not code.
|
|
|
|
|
then its simple...
u should be having the rc file of the old application. drag that to the new applcation. since ur application will be minimised just need to drag and position it on top of the new application. dont drop it. once it loads the page automatically maximises. then drop it. copy the design close the rc file and paste the design...
hope u understood.

See Mr Chandrasekharan...... I think u have not understood my problem.
Lets Suppose I have an old application which contains 4 dialogs. A,B,C,D
In the new application which i am developing i have three new dialogs F,G,A,H.
note: "A" got repeated. So i have to copy the same dialog from my old application to new one with all the controls so that it reduces time for me in developing the entire dialog once again.
