Welcome to DaniWeb Bones. I remember those days too where I worked in the military. The first computer I ever saw was housed on three floors of a 5-story concrete building (1963). Now it can be fit in the palm of my hand.

p is an array of 100 pointers. On line 101 you are attempting to assign a double to each array element. If that's what you want, then change the array on line 97 to an array of 100 doubles instead of an array of pointers (just remove the star). Then …

This might actually result in an infinite loop because it keeps expanding the file as the loop progresses [code] #include <fstream> // and other headers string temp_string; char result; long pos; fstream studfile; studfile.open("student.dat", ios::in | ios::out); // Is this correct? while (getline ( studfile, temp_string) ) { pos = …

Probably because java is a memory hog, it runs slower because its an interpreted language, and C/C++ languages let you get much closer to the hardware than java does.

Don't double post the problem in multiple threads because it only causes confusion. I'm closing this thread so that the discussion can continue in the other thread.

depends on what you consider "reasonable rates". Bill Gates might considere $1 Million/year reasonable, but since I doube you are a multi-billionaire that problably isn't quite in your price category. Why don't you just google for cell phones to see what you can come up with.

I don't have my crystle ball with me at the moment, so please describe the problem with your program.

There are a few tutorials, such as this one ([URL="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=windows+registry+c%2B%2B+tutorial&btnG=Search"]click here[/URL])

I don't think so because the registry isn't a file. If you know the filenames of the registry (there are more than one file) you would get the timestamp the last time the registry was changed, that won't tell you anything about an individual registry key.

Welcome to DaniWeb -- glad to see someone else in my age group here.

The difference also depends on the operating system -- on *nix there is no difference between text and binary written files because *nix compilers make no translation of the '\n' character in either mode. That is, the file itself will contain the same information whether writting with a stream opened …

Post your questions on one of their forums, afterall they are the experts, not us.

Your program has probably trashed memory somewhere. I'm 99.999% certain the problem is NOT witth std::string so it must be somewhere else. Look for buffer overruns and use of initialized pointers or dereferencing null pointers. If you can please attach the files instead of just posting them with code tags. …

You can easily test your question yourself. Write a small program to find out how the >> operator behaves. I could easily tell you, but testing it out yourself is a much better teacher.

1) line 36: you don't need that line because line 35 has has already assigned val all the words including spaces . You can use stringstream to convert from std::string to int or float, but I find it more convenient (in most cases) to just use atol() and atof(). There …

In the program, did you give CreateProcess() the full path to the file? e.g. c:\windows\system32\notepad.exe? If not, then I suspect the problem may be in the environment variables.
