Well then use "/home/USER/.todo" or better yet "~/.todo". Saying "/.todo" is like saying "/usr" or "/home"; it gets you a file relative to the root of the filesystem, which as I have said before, is...

#define isn't what you need. #define does compile-time text substitution, as if you'd done a search-replace just before every compilation.


That looks like a reasonable idea. You'll probably want...

Yes, but "/.todo" is a hidden file *in the root of the drive*, and it's extremely probable that you don't want to be writing there. If you want a hidden file, fine, use ".todo" or "./todo" to...

Yes, new members register at an astonishing rate here . . . when I logged in there were six less members than there are now. :)


[Sorry if this is a bit advanced. I assume you're a pretty good...

I'm also thinking that this
string todo = "/.todo.txt";

should be "./" instead of "/.".

You use -99 in your input file to indicate end of line, but you seem to expect -999 in your program . . . .

Just a thought: why don't you read in one line at a time, and treat that as the row of a...

This page (http://www.instant-registry-fixes.org/troubleshooting-and-preventing-ntdlldll-errors/) says that ntdll.dll is "a Native API file of Microsoft operating systems and it contains NT kernel...

char filenames[fcount][16];
You're declaring a variable-length array here. It's not standard C89 to do that. If I were you I'd just declare the array as
char filenames[MAX_FCOUNT][16];

Also:

You can't assign anything inside a structure declaration. A structure declaration just defines a type. It's like a blueprint; you're telling the compiler, "if I ask you to create a Something, this is...

A constant variable can't be changed after initialization. If you didn't initialize it, too bad, you still can't change it. (If you compiler is a good one, it may warn you that you haven't...

I've really told you all you need to know. I'll give you some more details, but you'll have to do some searching . . . .

Three steps.

Open the file. You use ifstream to do this, it's not hard....

Well, it has one advantage over a return value -- you have to pass in an address, whereas you could ignore a return value. :) I don't think that's how I would write it, though.

Too bad you're not using PHP. :) http://ca2.php.net/filesize

But it seems like it might not be possible: http://bytes.com/groups/php/595984-filesize-not-reading-http-pages

On the other hand,...

Well, that's not too difficult. You could open the file, read it line-by-line, and print only those lines which contain the word "WARNING", for example. If you wanted to be more robust, you could...

Did you try google? There seem to be a lot of hits relating to this. http://www.google.ca/search?q=sdl_ttf+opengl

You can use SDL_ttf's TTF_RenderText_Blended to get smoothed SDL text surfaces. I...

Why is root a global variable? As far as I can see, it doesn't need to be, and it's just causing confusion because several functions take a root parameter.

Declaring variables inside for loop initialization sections is indeed C99-only. I wouldn't do it if I were you.


double just has more precision (usually). Oftentimes, a float is 4 bytes and a...

while ( !feof(ep) )
{
fgets(registryHive, MAX_PATH, ep);

Note that this is not a good idea...

You can even use fancy preprocessor macros and so on to replace the malloc()/free() calls in existing code with your own functions.

BTW, __LINE__, __FILE__, __DATE__, and __TIME__ are all standard...

Why don't you use the quadratic formula (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_equation#Quadratic_formula)? If all of the equations are quadratic, it should work.

You can do square roots in C...

/* replaced 0 by 1 */
Depending on who you ask, the first fibonacci number can be 0 or 1. (Personally, I'd agree with you and have it 1.)

Why not use more descriptive names than num1, num2, etc?

if(fib = fnum)

Try ==. = is for assignment, == is for comparison. (Your compiler should warn you about this if you enable warnings.)

Plus I don't think this is what you want.
for (fib=1;...

You don't want a semicolon after a while loop:
while( number<= 0 ); {
->
while( number<= 0 ) {

The best way to do this is perhaps this: declare a structure representing the information. (Perhaps a header structure, a data one, a tail, and a packet structure that contains all three.)

If you...

What? Never heard of that. Don't tell me,
this don't work
x = bool (x||y) ;
That is C++ only. The C way looks like this.
x = (bool)(x || y);
Perhaps the OP is compiling as C instead of C++.

Correction: it's difficult in C and C++, but of course Perl would have a module for it. ;) It looks like a very useful one, too . . . .

switch (choice)

case '1':

My only suggestion is to try a profiler so that you can see exactly where your program is spending all of its time. If you have access to the code from the other program, profiling it as well might...

What are you forgetting here?
for(j=0;j<41;j++)
for(i=0;i<79;)
txt[j][i]=32;
Hint: it's an infinite loop . . . .

And it's a lot easier to use character constants like ' ' and '\r' in your...

You could save the numbers as you find them instead of printing them, say in a char array, and then print that array in reverse. On the other hand, it would probably be better to use a different...

@Adak: I already mentioned that, though admittedly it was buried in my long post.

The main logical problem with your code still exists. Numbers aren't the same thing as strings. You can't have an...

You can read from and write to the same file at once, but it's difficult.

You're best off creating a copy of the file and modifying that, then replacing the original file with the modified one, as...

for loops generally have three sections. You've forgotten the increment section. :)

You're also missing a closing parentheses on the strlen() call . . . .

But we know what you mean. :)

So your question is, why does structure alignment apply to the last member of a structure?

I think the answer is the same as for why structure alignment exists in the first place. Structure...

Yeah, most of the time it's a good idea. Sorry I didn't explain it further.


Yes. Accessing such memory could lead to data corruption or at the very least segmentation faults.


Correct.

Use code=c++ in your code tags to get syntax highlighting. It makes the code a lot easier to read.

iostream.h doesn't actually exist (according to the C++ standard). Consider using
#include...

while( line % 55 != 0 )
Note that 0 % 55 is 0, so you'll pause before printing anything, and then display 55 lines ad infinitum. The best solution is probably to use something like this:
while(...

That last post was getting crowded so I thought I'd start another one -- especially since it's a higher-level one.

Since you're trying to handle both numbers and strings, why not have two separate...

GCC doesn't like your code.

You can read image files in your program in a standard way, if you want to write the reader yourself. wotsit.org is a good reference for this, as already mentioned.
