Hi ,
I have one buffer size is 50 bytes and reading 50 byte data from file
unsigned char bufffer[50];
read(fd,buffer,50); // Consider each byte numerical is value is zero.
printf("@@%s@@",buffer); // Here i will get @@@@ only.
But I want @@(50 zero)@@ as output(i have to use %c or %s only). If 25th byte numerical value is zero. It will print only 25 bytes only but i want print entire buffer if it has null terminal(ZERO) middle of the buffer also)
Any help !!
Jump to PostOne way to do it is to print each byte one at a time in a loop. %s is for null terminated strings. What you apparently have is a binary file, not a text file. There is no standard C function that will print that entire buffer the way you …
One way to do it is to print each byte one at a time in a loop. %s is for null terminated strings. What you apparently have is a binary file, not a text file. There is no standard C function that will print that entire buffer the way you want it.
char buffer[BUFF_SIZE];
printf("string [");
for (i=0; i<BUFF_SIZE; i++)
{
if (buffer[i] == '\0')
printf("0");
else
printf("%c",buffer[i]);
}
printf("]\n");there are more clever ways to do it but that gives you an idea
