Urgent : How to read a unicode file in C/C++

2-Jul-06 23:05

Hope I understood your question
if you want to call dialog you can use from a variable from your dialog and use m_dialog.Create(ID_DIALOG) in your program and use m_dialog.Show(1);

Hi guys this is rocky.
I got stuck in a problem plz help me.

I want to read a text file which is having unciode charachters in C/C++.

i m using normaal fopen function but can't get the result fine..

here is the small peace of codeee

if ((fp = fopen("d:/GRCasual.txt", CFile::modeRead|CFile::typeBinary)) == NULL)
{
return 0;
}

while(!feof(fp))
{
/*fseek(fp,sizeof(char),SEEK_CUR); */
retbuf = fgets(buf, 200, fp);
}

thnx in advance guys ............
i m waitin for ur replies..........

Best Regards
Rocky

Declare the "buf" parameter in fgets(buf, 200, fp) as wchar_t type.

i m gettin an exception that

error C2664: 'fgets' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'wchar_t *' to 'char *'

what abt this

thnx in advance

Best Regards

Try fgetws instead of fgets.

(However it is unlikely that your second parameter of fopen will work).

Rocky Marrone2-Jul-06 22:19

Thnx for the reply first

thnx for giving me some time

here is the peice of code i m not getting the result

FILE* fp = NULL;
wchar_t* buf = (wchar_t*)malloc(sizeof(wchar_t) * 200);
wchar_t* retbuf = NULL;

if ((fp = fopen("d:/GRCasual.txt", "r")) == NULL) // opens the file
{
return 0;
}

while(!feof(fp))
{
/*fseek(fp,sizeof(char),SEEK_CUR); */
retbuf = fgetws(buf, 200, fp);
}

if( fp )
fclose(fp);
return 0;

Viorel.2-Jul-06 22:24

Instead of

if ((fp = fopen("d:/GRCasual.txt", "r")) == NULL)

try this:

if ((fp = fopen("d:\\GRCasual.txt", "rb")) == NULL)

I hope it helps.

Guys this is the code but cant read the unicode file...........
if there is any problem in it tell me i will solve it..........

FILE* fp = NULL;
wchar_t* buf = (wchar_t*)malloc(sizeof(wchar_t) * 200);
wchar_t* retbuf = NULL;

if ((fp = fopen("d:/GRCasual.txt", "r")) == NULL) // opens the file
{
return 0;
}

while(!feof(fp))
{
/*fseek(fp,sizeof(char),SEEK_CUR); */
retbuf = fgetws(buf, 200, fp);

About Cd-rom?

How could i judge the Cd-rom door's status?(open or closed). Pay attention to that here is Cd-rom not DVD-rom, I used the SCSI command "Mechanism Status" to get the dvd-rom door's status successfully, but it can't work on Cd-rom, so what should i do to fix this trouble? Smile | :)

Go go go, roger that. Enemy sighted!

U look into DeviceIoControl() with IOCTL_STORAGE_EJECT_MEDIA as a second parameter.

Thanks you all for your helpful infos, but all seems not work fine.
Is there a command of SCSI just as same as "mechanism status" command which can work on DVD-ROM?
Or some other helpful infos? Sniff | :^)

strange linking error with operator overloading

Thanks for your help, whitesky!
But I wonder if you really understand what I want to realize!
I just want to know the status of CD-ROM, it is opened or closed?
The MCI command can't work at all, I tried it before, and WM_DEVICECHANGE message also can't work. And I tried MMC command(APSI programming),but it can only work on DVD-ROM, do not work on CD-ROM! That's my trouble.

My original purpose is that if you right click the CD/DVD-ROM icon, the eject menuitem can take a little change for it can change to "Insert" if the door is already opened, and back to "eject" if the door is closed. For this, I must know the status of the door, it is closed or open?

One day a pretty girl asked me: "Do you think you are handsome?"."I don't think so!" She gave a slap in my face:"Why lying?"

Hello everyone,

I am meeting with a strange linking error regarding to operator overloading. I am creating a C++ static lib, and then linking it with a C application. Here is the error message and source codes,

I am using adapter.cpp, adapter.h, foo.cpp and foo.h to create a static lib called foo.lib, then link it with a C application (goo.c). There is no problem to generate the static lib foo.lib.

Any comments to solve this link error?

Re: strange linking error with operator overloading

I think no error will be generated if you:

remove the inline keyword from the declaration of Foo::operator =;
or, move the implementation of Foo::operator = from foo.cpp to foo.h file;
or, place the implementation of Foo::operator = function inside the Foo class.

I hope it helps.

Hi Viorel!

Your method is so magic and it works! What is the reason of my linking error and why your method works?

Re: strange linking error with operator overloading

As I know, when we work with inline functions, then the body of such items must be provided in .h files, not in .cpp ones. This is because the compiler needs the source code of such functions in order to insert them into compiled code, thus making them "inline".

If we implement a function in a .cpp file, then the compiler makes a binary .obj or .lib file, and the source code is lost. Therefore the compiler will be only able to generate a call to such functions, but not make them inline.

This is also true for template classes and template functions -- they must be delivered in header files. (For instance see STL).

However, it seems that future compilers will allow implementation of inline and template items in .cpp files.

It should be the linker not the compiler to insert implementations into compiled code, right?

Do you mean we need to insert the source codes of inline function into the modules which invoke inline functions?

I think ordinary function (non-inline function) does not need to insert source codes into the modules which invokes the ordinary function, right? And what did the linker/compiler do when dealing with ordinary function in the same situation?

George
