Sorry if I made you cry, sid, but if my post imitating your style annoyed you, imagine how your original post felt to the OP. Are you...

It's still the way to go. Try out this program:

#include <stdio.h>

#define SIZE 100

int main()
{

This:
void FindcarVin(int , string , string, int , int );

is not the same as this:
void FindcarVin ( int vinnums[], string brandnames[], string modelnames[], int yearnums[], int specnum )

See...

I forgot that you will need to pass in the size of the array as well (unless you can change it to a vector). Here's the idea:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using...

The only line that looks like it might set up the error (through undefined behavior) is this: unidata.maxval=getMaxval(argv[1]);.

Presumably this function is in iplib2New.c. BTW, you're including...

I don't understand the question. Perhaps if you describe what you are trying to do. In general, people seem to be overusing strtok. Often it's not the way to go. Your's looks like a job for sscanf or...

Oops. Looks like I gave you the wrong prototype. Try:
void findvin( const Car* car );


Also, remember to use SIZE and not the number 30 in you code (since that's what SIZE is for).

Instead of a bunch of parallel arrays like this:

int vin[SIZE];
string brand[SIZE];
string model[SIZE];
int year[SIZE];
int mileage[SIZE];
double mpg[SIZE];

try a single array of structs...

Minimally you must handle single quotes, double quotes, single-line comments, and multi-line comments, since, as ArkM has pointed out, these constructs may contain parens (etc.) which you will want...

The best solution is always the simplest one that does the trick. So, since you're only instantiating it with one type (i.e., a Comparable and it's derivatives), you don't need a template. That's...

The whole point of prefix notation is to represent the formula in such a way as to eliminate the complications of precedence and association. To reinstate these complications is sidiotic.

I feel...

main must return int (not void).
You are missing a closing brace.
"five" is a strange name.
datum is spelled with a u.

When Knuth talks about random numbers he mentions a CD of random numbers called "Black and White Noise" which is a mixture of deterministically sampled rap music combined with white noise.

So you're saying that if you take the exact same exe and config file that works on your machine and transfer it to your friend's machine, it doesn't work?

Does he have the exact same OS as you?...

> How would I set it as a Global variable

This question suggests that you may not be ready for WinAPI programming. You should master the programming language with console programs.

To make it...

ThreadTime does not have access to hWndDlg. You need to either make it global (DlgProc would set the global var in WM_INITDIALOG)or pass it as a parameter to ThreadTime.

Nothing would happen! Are you a mindless idiot? Did your brain fall out? Did you replace it with a turd you found on...

We need code tags (http://www.daniweb.com/forums/misc-explaincode.html) and more explanation.

Sounds good. :)

I forgot to mention above that if you do remove <afxres.h> (and use -1 instead of IDC_STATIC) you probably have to replace it with <windows.h>.

The FONT line is about the 7th line in gui.rc. Put the MENU line after that.

In that same file you can get rid of <afxres.h> if you replace IDC_STATIC with its value, -1. I believe most people do...

Write it to a string with sprintf (or wsprintf):

sprintf( buf, "Random Number: %d", random_integer );
MessageBox( 0, buf, ... )

You haven't associated the menu with the dialog. Add this line after the FONT line in the dialog definition:
MENU IDR_MAIN_MENU

So you're saying that this piece of code will send a jpg file the first time it executes but not the second time or after that? What's the value of bytes_sent when the error occurs? If it is -1, what...

You may be able to figure it out with some detective work. Try running the old program and the new program in such a way that they should produce the same data. Then compare the files (viewing the...

It's quite a challenge decoding a binary file with an unkown format! In general, it's not possible. How do you know if the first two bytes are the characters AB or the 16-bit integer with decimal...

You could try a different IDE/compiler.
MSVC++ defaults to unicode.

No problem. :)

While I remember, you should change the test: b<MAX_KEYNAME_CHARLENGTH to b<MAX_KEYNAME_CHARLENGTH - 1, otherwise you might overrun found_key.

And remember to test the return...

There WAS a problem in reading in the data. I don't know if I did it or you, but the extra strtok (to get rid of the letters A, B, C in the data) needs to be inside the loop. So change the code as...

That is strange. I finally got it to run just now. There's a black-and-white checkerboard "floor", a blue "sky", and a box and a pyramid floating in the sky.

Oops! Remove the ampersand from that one. So it should be:
glVertex3fv(object->vertices[facet[i]]);

Try this. ;) But it's the essentially the same. Attach your project.c file if it's still not working.

You define a buffer called found_key to hold each key as it is read. It has a length of MAX_KEYNAME_CHARLENGTH (defined, suspiciously, as 20).

If you are sure your keys will never be more than 19...

Instead of setting pid and ppid, don't you just want to print them? You cannot return them to the parent (well, you can, but it does not seem to be necessary in this assignment).

And your code is...

I believe this works.

void drawPolygon( Object *object, int iFacet )
{
int i;
int *facet = &object->facets[iFacet][0];

glBegin( GL_POLYGON );
glColor3ub( 128, 64, 0 );
