I'm quite sure he asked how to test keypress in while but I have no idea how to do it while( now)

When I make vector static, I get unresolved external error.

In meantime I found this:

Ok, it seems I must still learn a lot about windows threading.

I have these threads running, but I need them to use base class method and container. Base to MultiReader (DirectoryReader) have...

Wow... Thanks for this tip.

I still think of these object in POSIX manner, where (as far as I remember) wait functions do not return untill they acquire semaphore, if timeout was set to infinite....

I replaced that Mutex with Semaphore object. There should be no much difference, but anyway, this is pretty much my code now:

// MultiReader.h
class MultiReader :
public DirectoryReader
{...

If you using C++ (you are posting in C++ forum) you should take advantage of STL library which is part of language now. You should almost always use STL containers and avoid C-style arrays.

Everything ok with this function now, I mark this thread as solved and continue being problematic in this thread:
http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread127041.html

Ok I figured out that static const must be initialize within class body, but still:

class MultiReader :
public DirectoryReader
{
public:
MultiReader(char* p_sConfigPath);...

I managed to make compiler accept parameter using &vDirectories.at(nThreadNo) but I missed that litte (void*). Thank you very much, good sir!

Threading almost solved for me.

Now I need to do something like this:

CreateThread( NULL, 0, &MultiReader::ReaderThread, (void*)vDirectories.at(nThreadNo), 0, NULL);


While vDirectories is:

struct OPTIONS
{
string...

Ok, I got working threads, but still can't make proper synchronization. It's hard to find good example.

So, there is header file:

class MultiReader :
public DirectoryReader
{
public:...

Yep, that's it. I tried to figure it out for days. & was there just because compiler suggested me to put it there. That thing is solved, thank you very much.

Now parameter 4: it should be &adress...

I'm trying to call this function requested times. All functions and variables are members of one class, access is public. So, I'm calling like this:

void MultiReader::CreateThreads()
{
unsigned...

Just one tip: you don't need clock(). You counting virtual time, so you can represent this as integer. It's easier to add and calculate average queue time that way.

Opps sorry Salem already wrote...

#include <cctype> // for toupper()
#include <algorithm> // for transform()

transform(x.begin(), x.end(), x.begin(), toupper);


try this

Yeah sorry I missed point. I'm still thinking about semaptores in POSIX manner - acquired means it's acquired regardless of process accessing it.

I am still stuck with this... It seems bit complicated to fill security attributes and security descriptor structures. Anyone have experience with this? Option is to use MFC, but I'm not familiar...

I'm pretty sure semaphore is not working correctly anyway. There should be no difference between single thread and more threads acquiring semaphore. For example, if I call WaitForSingleObject() twice...

How about casting
int* a = (int*)x;?

Somehow, it doesn't work like intended, or maybe I do something wrong....

All I can tell on this subject is: compilator do not detect problems or errors with directx, only withyour C++ syntax.

Yeah if you can't understand how to use simple bbcode, where is point od teaching you C++? You should try just a bit making people think on what you posted. My brain threw "Confused by earlier...

How is this possible technically? Every single mail server will archive emails and IMs..?

It lists files, you still need recursively delete directories beginning with deepest path. This calss will be more complex, handling configuration file and multitasking.

You need to empty this folder I guess. That's how Windows works if you noticed.

Right now I am working on file listing class, it places all files in given subdirectory in vector of strings. If you...

Pretty confusing I must say... I think I will skip it for now. I don't know final shape of my solution now.

What if EdRules is part of another class?
And another class is part of another? Exception catching should be performed in each of these?

Can you please give simpliest example?

I'm starting writing class that should read configuration file and initialize some members with data from file. I decided to read this file in constructor. What should constructor do, if something...

WonderAbu have no idea how to ask, and you guys answer quite advanced things. All I could advise is to check out some basics and terminology in C++:...

This way or another, you should use iterators, to avoid exceeding string boundaries.

For example:

string str;
string::iterator iter_str = str.begin();

while(iter_str != str.end())
{...}

If you mean _findfirsti46(), then no. It isn't counted as first result. It only returns handle for future searches. In my previous implementation "." directory was displayed.

I don't really want to think at the moment, but I can post you my string reversing piece of code. Safe and elegant.

#include <string>

string str="shankhs";
reverse(str.begin(), str.end());

Use 1st variant in some kind of loop.

For some reason I don't want develop for Linux. It usually lacks hi-level functions and you have to use fork(), shmget(), etc. You have much more free hand writing for Windows, and there is variety...

Nope, not working. Negating whole condition not working also. Only way to get list of files is using && operator, and my brain is melting while thinking why.

yes, it compiles and works ok, but this:

if( (s_current.compare(struct_filedata.name) && s_parrent.compare(struct_filedata.name)) )
{
s_filename = p_sPath + "\\" + struct_filedata.name;
