Until you call fOpenDlg.DoModal(), your code is pointless. That aside...

Why are you assigning NULL to a non-pointer? Not sure how this even compiles.

Hi there,
I'm trying to find a string inside a text file, using VC++ 6.0 application.
The logs contained in the text file can grow up to MBs (50 - 70 MB)
My aim here is to search a string in that and need to get the time stamp of last occurrence of the string.
I cant use the sequential search as this process runs as a thread and it runs for every 2 seconds. Sequential search will take too much of time, if the size of the log file grows to MBs.
I thought of using the findstr.exe command to find out the occurrence of the string "Error #1028" by this, all the lines matching the string will be redirected to the file, thus makes easy to find the last occurrence of the matching string.
WinExec("findstr /C:\"ERROR #1028\" C:\\SERVER.log > C:\\temp_log.txt", SW_HIDE)
But, the output seems to be not re-directing to the temp_log.txt file.
I even tried creating the file temp.txt before executing the same, but the contents will be blank. Even I tried the >> operator too.
If i place this same command in a batch file, and invoke the batch file using WinExec(), it works fine.
Please pass on your comments on how this could be achieve or is there any other way to achieve the same, without having a dependency on external DOS command findstr.exe
Thanks in Advance,
Rajesh

How do you think findstr works? It does a sequential search through the file...
Even with a naive string search, you can search through 60MB in around 500ms (2.4GHz Core 2Duo, using a file mapping to load the file).
If you apply some algorithm optimisation (we're looking for the last occurrence of a string - start at the end of the file rather than beginning, that's likely to get a lot smaller.

Hi Stuart,
Thanks for your response.
Is there a way to do backward read in a file?
I searched in google and i couldn't find useful article on backward reading a file.
Each line in the log file is dynamic. So reading a fixed length of character will end up in middle of a line. The time stamp in the log file is at be beginning of each line and there are changes that it might read half the line, if we try to read as a fixed chunk of data from bottom.
please pass on your comments.
Thanks in Advance,
Rajesh

I would read the file by mapping it into memory[^], not reading it using file I/O functions. That allows me to treat the file as a continuous block of memory, so searching the file for a string is almost as as simple as using strstr[^] - I actually used this code to search backwards through a file (specified as the first argument on the command line:
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
DefaultFileReader fr(argv[1]);
const char* lookBegin = argv[2];
const size_t lookLen = strlen(argv[2]);
const char* lookEnd = argv[2] + lookLen;
const char* p = (const char*)fr.end()-lookLen;
while (p!=(const char*)fr.begin())
{
if (!strncmp(lookBegin, p, lookLen)) break;
--p;
}
size_t firstPos = p - (const char*)fr.begin();
std::cout << firstPos << std::endl;
return 0;
}
DefaultFileReader is a class I've written that memory-maps a file. It has begin() and end() methods to access the memory that has been mapped.
You can see that my code isn't looking for lines in the file - that's not really necessary once you know what text you're looking for (but could be added - line terminators are just characters!).

This all has to do with > and >> not being passed on to the command processor. As you've noted, if you want to do it this way, you'll need to write that string to a BAT file and WinExec() that instead.
How is the file formatted? Is it in any order? How often is the file updated?

Hi David,
This log file is plain text file, a Sybase generated one for replication server and the logging will be very frequent and dynamic.
Sample content of the file listed below:

I want to Create a logical(not physical)Bad sectors on hard disks!
Is it possible?
If possible what i should know?
----------------------------------------------
I think
A fabricated ECC could be a solution
Originally ECC is made by automatically...
I cannot get a specific answer to insert ECC artificially.
Let`s consider it together...
Thanks Advance.

Honnestly, I don't think it is very useful to continue posting on this forum unless you improve your english a bit. All your posts were totally undecipherable (at least for me). So, why do you continue posting questions that you alone understand ?

Hello,
I have one problem with two different projects created in VS2003 and VS2005.
First of all I have a MFC extension dll in one project created in VS 2005. When we load this dll through test project created in VS 2005, everything is fine.
Now we need to use this same dll in one of the application created earlier using VS2003. In this application there is one mediator dll which I have compiled in VS 2005 and connected the previous MFC dll to this app.
After this if I do only
LoadLibrary(...) and
FreeLibray(..) immediately;
the VS2005 shows memory leaks in MFC dll before it unloads it.
What should I do?
Can program Money?

Very right. I came out of iffy position after I made few changes and compiled the complete application projects in 2003 and then linked them to existing 2003 app. Believe it everything is correct and I have the project ready.

Hello
Can anyone tell me like the things to be taken care of, while moving to UNICODE format, because the application am working is going to be supported in multiple languages?
while using functions like strcpy_s, do i need to be more specific about the size_t parameter?
that is, while doing a copy, do i need to specifiy more memory?
Thanks in advance.
|

Use the tchar equivalents of the str* functions, and wrap your string constants in the _T macro. As for the size_t parameter you can leave it as is as they refer to the number of characters in the buffer, not the number of bytes. As was said earlier, RTM.
You may be right
I may be crazy

To add to the above; go to the documentation for the string calls. Scroll down. The remarks section will contain a list of what the equivalent tchar routine to use that will map to either the ANSI or UNICODE version of functions. So, the equivalent of strcpy_s is _tcscpy_s.
The second parameter of strcpy_s is the number of characters in the destination buffer. If you have a static buffer (i.e. TCHAR buffer[16]) and are using sizeof(buffer), you'll have to modify it to use sizeof(buffer) / sizeof(TCHAR) (in VS 2005 you can, as was already clearly pointed out below, use _countof(buffer).)
dipuks wrote: that is, while doing a copy, do i need to specifiy more memory?
It depends on how you are allocating that memory. If you use TCHAR when allocating, then you're fine.
BTW, if using the defines LPCSTR & LPSTR, change them to LPCTSTR & LPTSTR. Most of these will be flagged when you compile with UNICODE.

I learned MFC before, finally I gave up completely.
then now much more easier way than MFC exists, then I really do not understand why MFC
is still used? what is the advantage then?, let us say, compared to .net. Mainly due to its efficiency? but my experience told me that it is really not make progress in MFC.
thanks

1) There are still places where the .NET framework isn't widely installed, so .NET apps aren't an option (I know, I work at one)
2) I would say that MFC still has a better developed application framework than (say) Windows Forms - things like UI updating just seem better in MFC, IMO.
If you're going to use something instead of MFC, use Qt - that's a really nice UI framework, IMO - or (maybe) WTL - MFC-esque but lighter weight and (IMO) some things are nicer.

MFC has a more complete application framework. For example, the menu handling and tying menu items to button bar buttons.
Once you understand MFC and Visual Studio, it is very easy to rapidly create applications.
MFC has a massively huge amount of third party resources for it. CodeJock, for example, is an excellent UI interface (far better, IMO, than the BCG stuff Microsoft used for the 2008 Feature Pack.)
With few exceptions, MFC lets you seamlessly move between native Win32 and the framework.
MFC/Native applications [can] use much less memory than .NET applications.
MFC did languish for several years, then Microsoft did some actual research of actual developers and found that as of 2003/2004, 80% of client application developers world wide was still using MFC. As a result, they are paying attention again and for 2010 are allegedly adding back the fabulous Class Wizard from Visual C++ 6 and before. As for efficiencies; due largely to the heavy amount of COM added, it's become more bloated, but it's hard to make it much more efficient without changing the design (and even then, for large applications, the difference would be negligible.)
At one point WTL showed promise, but it was rather confusing and time consuming to create window classes. Unfortunately, rather than add some Wizards and beef up support, Microsoft threw WTL into the public domain. (Shame since I have shipping applets which could have been main leaner with WTL.)
Many (please note that I didn't say all) developers I personally know who claim .NET is superior to MFC were never very good at MFC; they never bothered to really learn it or Win32. Most of those are just as bad at .NET too; they just think they aren't. I use native Win32, MFC, and .NET. Many things are easier in .NET, some things are harder and some things are so blasted hard, it's just not worth it. There are some really nice things about .NET and C#, but when all is said and done, I'm a C/C++ programmer at heart. (Having said all that; anyone who needs to do web development or pure database front ends would be crazy to pick C++ over .NET.)

Hi,
May i know how can i create a Slider Control with three ranges...ie
1--------2---------3
based on the movement ie if the slider is at 1 i need to display a static text as low(and need to set some registry also)and if 2 it should display medium AND 3 as high..
Please let me know regarding the same...
|

|

So what exactly is the problem? Have you called the SetRange(1, 3, TRUE) method, or sent the control a TBM_SETRANGE message?

Hello all,
I am having problems with opening a device defined serial port using basic CreateFile function. The serial port is specific to a framegrabber installed in the PC. I can open and communicate with it with no problems in windows hyper terminal and evne in Matlab, but not able to open it in VC++. Usually with other framegrabber I can see all the additional com ports installed by the framgrabber under COM&LPT ports in device manager, but not with this board. But in registry under HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\SERIALCOMM, I see these ports listed.
The port names are not as usual COM1 etc, its with X64-CL_iPro_1_Serial_0/X64-CL_iPro_1_Serial_1 names.
Can anyone help me out here.... or does anyone know how windows hyper terminal opens these ports..
thanks,
PKNT
