You can write files anywhere you want to on your computer as long as your login account has permissions to do that. For example newfile.open("c:\\dvlp\\test\\exemplu.txt");

If your target os supports standard iostreams then I'd use it. win32 api is very low level and supports only binary files -- yes text files can be written as binary files but using std::fstream...

Get the input data as a string, then your program can check its contents to see if it's numeric data or not. Since you are posting in the c++ forum I'd suggestion using cin and std::string, not...

scnaf with %d will only accept numeric data -- anything else is ignored and scanf() does not change the value of the input parameter. Check the return value to see if scanf() successfuly converted...

int* A = new int[10]; // dynamic array

If you want the explanation in words, then I'd suggest you look them up in your text book. There are also a lot of online...

You can erase an element from the map, but you can't delete just one of the pointers because it belongs to an array. If you allocate the pointers one at a time then you could delete them in any...

I already told you the problem -- line 55 doesn't work because 0 is never > than MONTHS. You changed the wrong line. You should have changed line 45, not line 55. Put line 55 back the way it was...

What is wrong is that you are using some crappy compiler such as Turbo C to run an MS-Windows 32-bit program. Can't be done. Toss out that compiler and use a modern compiler such as Code::Blocks...

The ordering is not done in the code snipped I posted, but in the sort function you posted. On line 48 of post #9, change > to <

Of course it will...

The program in post #9 works ok for me after making one small change. You are calling the sort function twice, and not displaying the results after sort is done.

cout << "Here is the sorted...

Functions know nothing about variables declared in other functions. If you want selectionSort() to use variables in another function then those variables have to be passed to selectionSort() as...

use std::string's c_str() method

the replace() function may make your code smaller, but efficiency is probably the same. Somebody has to loop through the string one character at a time. Whether you do it or replace() doesn't...

The Seek() (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.filestream.seek.aspx)method returns a long long which is the length of the file

Here is another way to do it.

string space2underscore(string text)
{
for(int i = 0; i < text.length(); i++)
{
if( isspace(text[i]) )
text[i] = '_';
}

Now is when you need to learn how to use your compiler's debugger so that you can single-step through the program one line at a time. I already told you why your program doesn't work. The problem...

The general way to get the file size is to seek to the end of the file then get the current file position. I don't know how you would do that with CLR/C++ (managed code), but I'm certain if you read...

The program doesn't work because the Clear() method destroys the value of MaxBytes by setting it to 0, which makes that Pack() return false when checking if size > MaxBytes.

You don't have to read the data back into a account class. You can do anything you want with the data, such as read it back into individual char arrays if you want to. The data file is not tied to...

There is no need for the pack() functionality. The account class is already packed (fixed-length). Just write the account object to a binary file.

I think everyone has already answered that question. First, create function prototypes for the functions your c++ program needs to call, surround them with extern "C", then put the DLL somewhere the...

>>I'm speaking most particularly of GUI class frameworks.
There are no GUI frameworks in standard c++. You must be thinking of some 3d party libraries, such as wxWidgets, MFC, OpenGL, DirectX,...

you have to declare them extern "C".

extern "C" {
#endif

Tadaaa -- when compiled for UNICODE those two are identical.

It is NOT necessary to compile a program using an IDE. You can use command-line compiles with or without a makefile if you want to. What compiler was you using and how was you compiling the program...

The damed program works fine as it is, its not necessary to change the data type of age, nor would it even be desireable. You're trying to make a binary file act like a text file -- it doesn't. You...

Add this to the bottom of that program to verify that it worked (works ok for me on Windows 7 using VC++ 2008 Express compiler)

ifstream in("myFile.dat", ios::binary);
int k = 0;
if(...

You have to include wininet.h and shlobj.h, then compile the program for UNICODE

1) you can not compare a single character such as aData with a string such as "Exit".

2) 'Exit' must be surrounded with double quotes, such as "Exit".

replace all 7 loops with something a function

void GetMartks(std::string prompt, float& mark)
{
cout << prompt << '\n';
cin >> mark;
mark = decimal(mark);
}

Your text book should be able to answer that question. Yes, programs can have an unlimited number of functions which can be called from other functions such as main(). What your program is missing...

>>Can someone please help me with this?
Can we do what to help you ? Post the code you have written, compiler's error messages, and ask questions. We are not going to write the program for you.

Just check for end-of-string null terminator
for(int i = 0; string[i] != '\0'; i++)

Post code or a link to the code.

>>The you can just concat title with first name.

That was my objection. Those two can not be joined.

Wrong answer. Those strings don't have enough space allocated to concatenate them (see original post). Each of those strings need to be copied into some buffer that is large enough to hold all the...

You don't need to pass the length of each of those strings. The concat function can easily find the lengths itself.

Here is how to make concat() return the string

string concat(const char*...
