thats correct. It is a common mistake COM developers make by putting CoIntialize and Couninitialize in the same function.

I came accross this great (http://www.codeproject.com/threads/processes.asp?df=100&forumid=4699&exp=0&select=278675) and was wondering if anyone could show how to also output the window title. Any help would be great thx!

Maybe you can try enumerating all the top level windows using EnumWindows(). And check if the process id matches (Use GetWindowThreadProcessId() ). With the window handle of the process, call GetWindowText() to get the title.

Hey everyone,
I've been looking around for a simple regular expressions thing to impliment into my code. However, the only kind I can find are far too advanced for what I need. I started writing it myself and got through any number of question marks with 1 asterisk. I cannot get any farther.
I only need it to beable to understand * and ?. So, something like comp_*_sales_*_?pav would hit something like comp_toyota_sales_inhouse_mpav.
It just needs to return true or false for the match. Any help or guidance would be amazing.
Thanks,
Mike

If you are looking to roll your own solution, when you encounter a * in the pattern, iterate through each successive character in the string-to-match until the character following the * is encountered. For example:
char *pszPattern = "comp_*_sales_*_?pav";
// if x points here ^
char *pszString = "comp_toyota_sales_inhouse_mpav";
// and y points here ^
// advance x one character to the _, and advance y until that character is encountered
When you encounter a ? in the pattern, iterate through one character in the string-to-match. As long as the next character matches the character following the ?, it matches.

Not sure why no-one else has mentioned it yet, but have you looked into the PathMatchSpec(...) function? It sounds like exactly the kind of functionality you are looking for, which is MS-DOS-style wildcard matching...
Peace!

Hi there,
I am trying to use CreateFile to open up a file handle however in some instances it doesnt work. Is there a way to convert a file location string into its exact case-sensitive string?
For example.
lszLogFile = "C:\\TeSt\\TeSt.txt";
HANDLE hLogFile = NULL;
hLogFile = CreateFile(lszLogFile, GENERIC_READ, FILE_SHARE_READ, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, 0, NULL);
lszLogFile is the actual parameter that works with create file and a handle is created, however if
lszLogFile = "C:\\test\\test.txt";
Then a handle will not be created. Is there a way to find out what the actual Directory string is?
Thanks guys,
Robbie

Added the extra backslashes, and no that wasnt the problem.

Sure your problem is case related, not a lack of \ characters?

Should be:
lszLogFile = "C:\\test<font size=6>\\</font>test.txt";

Why not? Have you checked the return value of GetLastError()?

It's whatever value you have assigned to lszLogFile.

lol nono, the path directory is correct. I just forgot the extra backslash in this example.
I tested it. having lszLogFile = "C:\\TeSt\\TeSt.txt"; works rather than having all the characters as lower case. So really the question is how do i retreive the case sensitive file path of that file

I wrote that piece of code in my original post on the fly. I hate copying and pasting my code because its just too much too read.

But copy/paste is the preferred method as needless posts can be avoided. You only need to paste the relevant snippets, not an entire program.

OK. I've read your modified post.
Now it looks like a "chicken-and-egg" question though.

To retrieve the so-called *exact* file path, you need a valid file handle and pass the valid handle into some API.
To get a file handle without knowing the *exact* case-sensitive path (in your case), you can only input the path in case-insensitive form which results in failure (in your case).
Anyway, my system works very well with both your code snippets. :->

I used GetLastError() and figured out that it was an issue with my type-casting, but I fixed it lol. Thanks for the help.

Windows file systems are not case-sensitive. If C:\test\test.txt is failing, it's due to something else, not the case of the letters. Check the value of GetLastError()

hi everybody,
i am bake bihari from bihar .i have one problem that ,i am write different size of string in file but at reading time i don't know size of string which i have to read
,at time i want to read only one string 
|

you could write and heading integer before each string so that you read it first, and so, can deduce the length of your string...
