dev-cpp-users Mailing List for Dev-C++ (Page 757)

Hi,

I've got some code of programs who are programmed in Visual C++ 6.0 or =
Djgpp. The packages include makefiles, but I seem to be unable to open =
those in Dev C++. Is there a way to do this?

getch(), getche() are not standard C/C++ functions. Better use getchar() or
getc(stdin) in the following style:

choice=getchar();
getchar();

getchar() is equivalent of getc(stdin) so use whatever one you like. The
second getchar() is used to clear '\n' (the enter) from the stdin.

Implement my above suggestion.

One way is fgets(): fgets(string, 80, stdin);

It reads 79 characters, and places '\0' at the end.

Open a command prompt window, enter in the directory of your program using
cd /directory and run the executable from there. I think an autopause
routine must be implemented in the execute option of Dev--C++. I had sent
one written in C to Colin in the past. Colin, i think you should include one
in next version of Dev-C++ (Visual C++ has the same feature too). :)
 Another way is to #include <cstdlib> or #include <stdlib.h> and use the
system("pause") command, or use getchar() or cin.get() or something else.

problem 1:
    I'm developing a piddly little program from a learning book, and in my
main(), I've got a statement to get the user's choice from a menu that looks
like this:

choice = getche();

    it takes the '1' character required and successfully activates a
particular function.  Once inside the function, however, I have this input
statement, to prompt for and get some data for the string "title" in a
struct array.

printf( "Book title : " );
gets( catalog[ recordCount ].title );

    Simple, right?  Nope.  The prompt comes up

Book title : 1

    the gets() reads the 1 from the getche() up in the main function...  I
have tried all sorts of odd things, placing getch()'s and getche()'s
after/before statements to clear the buffer, substituted a scanf( "%s",
foo ) for the gets().  Even tried testing to see if there was something in
the buffer with kbhit(), and that comes up negative.  Any idea why this is
happening?

---------------------------------------------------------------------

problem 2:
    any idea how to limit an inputted string to 80 characters and still be
able to read spaces?  I tried the following in my above program and it
screwed things up FAR worse...

scanf( "%80[^\n]", string );

    I assume it didn't work because scanf left the '\n' in the buffer or
something like that...


    Any help is greatly appreciated

Stdin functions are base on the ANSI code. You have done the correct thing
to write a conversion function to change to scandinavian.

The function getchar() is a macro which leaves a char in the buffer so =
the second time throught the while loop you get the error print. Use =
getche().  Also it is better programming  to conver the keyboard input =
to an upper or lower case with the function toupper() and then use only =
a single case. Also use a do{ while()} loop to make the program easier =
for someone else to understand.
example:

  #include    <ctype.h>
  #include    <conio.h>
  #include <stdlib.h>
  #include    <stdio.h>

  int main()
  {
      int grade;
      int aCount =3D 0, bCount =3D 0;

      printf("Enter the letter grades.\n");
      printf("Enter the letter x to end input.\n");
      do
      {
          grade =3D toupper(getche());
          switch(grade)
          {
          case 'A':
              ++aCount;
              break;
          case 'B':
              ++bCount;
              break;
          case 'X':
              printf("\nend of input\n");
              break;
          default:
              printf("\nIncorrect letter grade entered.\n");
              printf("Enter a new grade.\n");
              break;

          }
      }
      while (grade !=3D 'X');

      printf("%d\n", aCount);
      printf("%d\n", bCount);

  Hi,  I've been having difficulty getting my switch statements to work =
properly.  When I run the program no matter what I enter I get the =
default response.  Please help.  I've inculded a sample from my text. I =
need the switch statement to work for an assignment.

  #include <stdlib.h>

  int main()
  {
       int grade;
       int aCount =3D 0, bCount =3D 0;

       printf("Enter the letter grades.\n");
       printf("Enter the -1 to end input.\n");

       while( (grade =3D getchar()) !=3D -1)
       {
        switch(grade)
        {
         case 'a': case 'A':
              ++aCount;
              break;
         case 'b': case 'B':

              break;

         default:
              printf("Incorrect letter grade entered.");

       system("PAUSE");
       return 0;
  }

At first, you did not include <stdio.h>. Second, the ==-1 also does not work
since getchar reads a character a time and the -1 of the user input is not
read together. Now the most important, the program reads the character, the
error message is for the '\n' character which the next getchar() reads after
your input. So take a look at the improved code:


#include <stdio.h> /* You forgot it */
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
     int grade;
     int aCount = 0, bCount = 0;

     printf("Enter the letter grades.\n");
     printf("Enter the Q to end input.\n");

     while( (grade = getchar()) != 'Q') /* 'Q' instead of '-' '1' */
     {
      getchar(); /* It absorbs the next '\n' */

      switch(grade)
      {
       case 'a': case 'A':
            ++aCount;
            break;
       case 'b': case 'B':
            ++bCount;
            break;

       default:
            printf("Incorrect letter grade entered.");
            printf("Enter a new grade.\n");
            break;
      }
     }

     printf("%d\n", aCount);
     printf("%d\n", bCount);

     system("PAUSE");
     return 0;

Hi!

How can I change to another character set? When I use cout to write scandinavian characters they are replaced by other characters. Now I use this function but there must be a better way.

int ConvertToExtendANSI(int kod)
{
    if (kod == -59)
       return (143);
    if (kod == -60)
       return (142);
    if (kod == -42)
       return (153);
    return (kod);
}

Thanks for many interesting questions and answers in this mailing list!

Corrected input: Sorry , in the first submission I forgot to put the "+" in
the fopen statement. This allows both read & write.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

FILE *frw;

void  main(void);

void  main(void)
{
   char   save[51];

   if ( (frw = fopen("fname.txt", "r+")) == NULL){
      puts("Can not open winning database");
      exit(0);
      }
   strcpy(save, "Hello World");
      fwrite(save, sizeof(save), 1, frw);

Here is a sample of one way towrite to a text file . There areseveral other
ways. See your documentation.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

FILE *frw;

void  main(void);

void  main(void)
{
   char   save[51];

   if ( (frw = fopen("fname.txt", "r")) == NULL){
      puts("Can not open winning database");
      exit(0);
      }
   strcpy(save, "Hello World");
      fwrite(save, sizeof(save), 1, frw);

I have a project that I've been developing in VC6.  It's a Win32 api
project with no proprietary VC6 code or macros or MFC or anything.  When I
compile and execute it in VC6 it works fine, but when I move the source
files to DEV-C++ I get compile errors from some of the API calls.

Any suggestions as to what's wrong?

Thanks for the help.

hi,

i've downloaded dev-c++ 4 and i'm unable to set the editor color attributes
(i'd like comments normal font, not bold)

TIA.

Not in ANSI C++. In ANSI C++ it must be #include <iostream>. Before the
official standard time it was #include <iostream.h>.

The short answer for this is "legacy code." Without going into too 
much detail, and ultimately leaving something out, here is a link to 
a number of pages and discussions on this:

http://www.google.com/search?q=%22-fhonor-std%22

The compiler option is "-fhonor-std" but in order for it to work 
correctly, your library must have been built with this flag.

regards,

Nick

If you want your programs to be portable, you should use std::cout<<"Hello
World!\n";

  Hi everyone,

  Just a quick question that has been bugging me!

  I if compile the program:

  #include <iostream>

  int main()
  {
   cout << "Hello World!\n";
   return 0;
  }

  It works perfectly! But surely it should fail because I have used the new
style header files that are placed in namespace std. Being as I have not
added 'using namespace std;' to my program - why does it work?! I though you
had to qualify each function with std::

  Im sure there is a good reason for this - Im just interested!

Well.. An array is basically just a pointer to a bunch of other pointers or
variables/objects. So you would just pass a pointer to the array, and then
dereference it to access it.

You should preferably code so that the function receives pointer to that
array as a parameter. Or the function might return a pointer if it
creates a new array from scratch.

Does anyone know how a function can return an array?
