I don't understand. Nobody in the US uses this crappy compiler with it's non-standard libraries. No one in the Western World seems to use this. even in second world countries in central and south america, they don't use this. so how is it that Borland seems to have a complete …

Dear raghuhr84, please disregard everything Xavier666 has said. anyone who suggests flushing the input buffer or using gets() has no business instructing anyone in the C language. (I'm also concerned as to why a moderator on this site (adatapost) would endorse his "solution" by giving him a green dot, but …

I wondered where that went... it seemed like earlier today it was there. did it just get killed today?

your question doesnt make any sense. and we dont just hand out solutions to every beggar that comes along, anyhow. why don't you just use the security settings built into IE to whitelist/blacklist websites? reinventing the wheel is usually a waste of time, especially when you obviously don't know what …

holy indentation, batman! :icon_eek: seriously, dude, i can't even look at that. you've got to properly indent that mess. .

how are the number in the fields generated. they do not look random.

is this an assignment for a C++ class? or something you're really trying to do in real life? if this is a real application, I'd say you're using the wrong language and you should seriously consider Perl. Perl was made for this problem. you'd have a complete solution that parses …

back off Mister 666, the poster has done nothing wrong. there is no requirement that within the body of the code comments and output text be in English. the forum rule you cite is to discourage pidgin english and leet speak, not to enforce some anglo-centric worldview. a large percentage …

[QUOTE=Narue;1072905]I'd recommend that you reconsider your design. This kind of thing suggests that your design is awkward and ill-suited to C.[/QUOTE] curious what you would recommend. C++? or rethinking the entire approach and not attempting to type cast at all? .

there is nothing in C demands that TRUE = 1 and FALSE = 0. macros and constants are only what you #define them to be. depending on what variation of the C environment you use, you very well may have TRUE defined as 1 and FALSE defined as 0 for …

another feckless attempt to steal teh fectorial codez.

why do you think the following "solution" in the C-language forum is a good solution? [QUOTE=xavier666;1069864]The problem is that you have not flushed stdin.

"fgets" is what you're looking for, at the very least. the easiest example will read the first line of the text file pointed by your FILE * into an arbitrary variable i call tempString: [code]fgets(tempString, THIRTY + 1, in)[/code] it will read up to "THIRTY + 1" characters, or until …

if you want the capability of being able to shoot yourself in the foot, you can try [INDENT]3. use fixed width records and one or more of "fseek", "ftell", "fsetpos", and "rewind" to manipulate the filestream and edit it in-line.[/INDENT] personally, though, i would go with either one of Narue's …

this thread brings the lulz

why not save everyone the hassle and FORCE CLOSE all threads with >3 months of inactivity.

and here's a variation that's even less elegant, but more simple, assuming you can use standard C libraries [code]#include <string.h> char longString[3000], splitString[100][30]; int stringLen, index; // "longString" is filled with a null-terminated string of chars stringLen = strlen(longString); index = 0; while (index*30 < stringLen) { strncpy(splitString[index], &longString[index*30], 30); …

M (1000) is the largest roman numeral. Therefore, MMMDCCCLXXXVIII (3888) is the largest value that can be represented by roman numerals via standard rules. above that value, you can use a bar over a number to indicate multiples of 1000. for instance [b]IV[/b] with a bar over top of it …

what are you talking about? drawings? in C? i mean, you can name and save any kind of file you want, whether if its a .bin or .txt or .bmp or whatever, but really, if you're drawing pictures using C, you should be well beyond asking "how do i save …

mean old u.s. always hiding the goods from the rest of the world. you should meditate on over to the other side of the universe and bring back some super duper ubar technology. that'll show 'em.

since no one has come out and said it, i guess i will: you should avoid using OS-specific libraries such as <conio.h>. this only works with (some) MSFT Windows systems. your code will never be portable using such libraries. but, if you dont care, then i guess i dont either.

even better, IMO, is [URL="http://www.codeblocks.org/"]Code::Blocks[/URL] because, unlike Visual C++, CodeBlocks is already a full-featured IDE and debugger from the start, and won't try to get you to buy an upgrade for $$.

you can't do this: [CODE]if (ch == *my_word ||*my_word2 || *my_word3)[/CODE] you have to specify what you're testing for each OR'ed condition. [CODE]if (ch == *my_word || ch == *my_word2 || ch == *my_word3)[/CODE]

things to talk about. but that doesnt stop me.

"fgets" is essentially a simplified version of "fread". "fgets" is good for (and should only be used for) reading character strings from an input stream, be it a file or the stdin device. "fread" is suited for any data type, such as binary (hex) data. it gives you more rope …
