Hi Christian,
It is implemented by find_first_not_of and find_last_not_of of STL string,
no built-in functions.

G'day George,
dBaseIII had a popular function for this purpose, alltrim. In the mid nineties i needed that function in C and wrote the following implementation, plain C code.
<br />
char *alltrim( char *t)<br />
{<br />
unsigned char *t_, *tc_;<br />
int i=0, l;<br />
<br />
l = strlen(t);<br />
tc_ = (unsigned char*) t;<br />
<br />
<br />
while (*(tc_+i) <= ' ' && i < l)<br />
i++;<br />
<br />
if (i==l) <br />
{<br />
*t = (char) 0; <br />
return t;<br />
}<br />
else<br />
t_ = ( unsigned char* ) (t+i); <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
i=l-1;<br />
while (*(tc_+i) <= ' ')<br />
i--;<br />
i++; <br />
*(t+i) = ( char ) 0; <br />
l = strlen((char*) t_) + 1; <br />
memmove(t, t_, l); <br />
return t;<br />
}<br />
Unfortunatedly the preview of the code looks awfull, like it has been handled by alltrim itself.
Regards,
Henk

Thanks Henk,
I think you mean there is no built-in function.

I have written a CString Object into Text file by using :
f.Write (&FileName,FileName.GetLength());//FileName is CString Object
Now I want to Read CString object back How this could be done?I am using code :
LPTSTR p = CurrentLanguageName.GetBuffer(11);
void *g=(void *)p;
f.Read (g,CurrentLanguageFileLen);
CurrentLanguageName.ReleaseBuffer( );
//But this method don't work.

you better use CStdioFile class which is derived from CFile.
It has a ReadString and a WriteString method.
|
|
|
|
|
Try the following to write:
CString StringToWrite;
StringToWrite="ABC";//e.g.
f.Write (StringToWrite.GetBuffer(20),StringToWrite.GetLength()+1);
Try the following to read:
CString str;
char B;
for(i=0;i<1000;i++){
f.Read(&B,sizeof(B));
str+=B;
if(B=='\0')break;
}
Not the best way to do it, but if it work U R OK!

Why are you unnecessarily calling GetBuffer()?

You might want to check the contents of the file you are writing to, as you are writing the address of the CString object to the file.

If you write:
f.Write (&FileName,FileName.GetLength());
you are about to write the whole object into the file
(including private variables etc...) and that is generally
BAD.
In fact the correct code for that would be:
f.Write (&FileName,sizeof(FileName));
since the previous code would probably crash your app
if the string buffer (allocated on the heap) is longer
than the size of the object.
===============================================
A little correction:
Try the following to read:
CString str;
char B;
for(i=0;i<1000;i++){
f.Read(&B,sizeof(B));
if(B=='\0')break; // Before "str+=B;" to avoid adding two '\0' at the end.
str+=B;
}

Wrong. This would still write the address of FileName to the file. Why is it so hard to code something like:
f.Write(FileName, FileName.GetLength());

Yes, sorry.
I meant that,
f.Write (&FileName,sizeof(FileName));
would be the correct code to save the
object in the file, not the string that
it has allocated. I would be more clear
in future!
But the code I posted above:
f.Write(FileName.GetBuffer(20), FileName.GetLength()+1);
works. I have done it before (that's why
I decided to answer, despite the fact
I'm not an expert). Your piece of code
does the same with less code! I just
didn't have in mind that CString could
be so easily type-casted into LPCSTR
and then to void*.
But you must also use the +1, so
that the '\0' character be written.
This is needed if you don't know the size
of the string from the beginning.
No mean to argue, you are right.
Thanks for helping me in the past too. Remember this:

Using visual c++ .NET, is there a simple way to isolate functions from
user input during runtime? (This is done with a command-line program)
AIM: So functions can be calculated upon
EXAMPLE FUNCTION: Sin(x+y(Cos(y))
Thanks for any help!

no, you have to write your own string parser.

G'day,
Is there an easy trick to make a dll re-entrant, e.g. each time the dll is called, the caller gets its own data area? The functions in the dll are written in plain C, no classes are involved.
Regards,
Henk

DLLs can be written without any class, only in C. This is done easily with VC++.

I'm not sure what you mean here.
Each process that is linked to DLL gets its own instances of all the
DLLs data, except that data that's explicitly shared somehow.
Except for special shared data, you manage your data in the DLL
just like you do in an EXE. How would each "caller gets its own data area"
in an EXE? Automatic/stack-based variables, some kind of passed data struct,
etc.

you can implement "dllmain" function in your dll.
BOOL WINAPI DllMain(
HINSTANCE hinstDLL,
DWORD fdwReason,
LPVOID lpvReserved
);
this function is called when a DLL is attached/detached to a process or thread.
You may use this to do what you want.

Thanks folks,
A proposed solution is:
karle wrote: BOOL WINAPI DllMain(
This is -apart from the name of the argument hinstDLL- exactly the same as the intiation code in this dll.
Maybe some more detailed description of what is happening.
The dll is called by a web application written in Delphi. The main task of the dll is to read a file and to store the data within this file in both a global struct and a pointer to double. Delphi can access and change this data by means of functions in this dll.
When several users simultaneously access each of them their own files, the data is overwritten by each consecutive 'read' call, so user 1 sees the data of user 2. Since this is unwanted behaviour, the work around was to add three functions:
Islocked(); Lock(); and Unlock();
Before trying to read or access data, the Delphi application checks whether IsLocked(); is false and then Locks the dll. After processing your data, the
Delphi application Unlocks the dll.
Not pretty, however it works. I was wondering whether there is a more elegant solution?
Regards,
Henk

My understanding is that DLLs are reentrant. That's sort of the idea behind a DLL in the first place. The thread that makes a call into the DLL has its own stack, and since data is not shared between thread stacks, each call has its own data area. However, if you have, for example, a memory mapped file, a named pipe, a resource handle to say a GDI brush, then you have a resource that's shared by the OS across threads. This has nothing to do with the DLL, but accessing that resource inside of the DLL can cause threading issues to arise, since the various callers of the DLL run asynchronously.
For example, suppose your DLL retrieves a handle to brush or writes, reads, then deletes the contents of a memory mapped file. One thread calls into the DLL and, before it exits, is swapped out by the task manager. That thread's stack is set aside and its place of execution within the DLL is marked, then the new thread begins execution. Say the first thread wrote data to the file, but did not read or delete its data. The new thread comes in and writes its data, but when it reads the data back, it gets its data and the data from the previous thread. Then the second thread deletes its data and the data placed there from the previous thread. When the original thread is swapped back in, there is no data there to read back anymore.
A DLL is just a function that is made available to call by any executable (more generally, thread) on the OS.

Hello,
I have several functions (can be classes) which I want to choose at runtime using a string.
Example:
void name1(){blah blah}
and I want to use one string (for example "name1") to call this specific function.
One way would be to create a (the code below is not correct, just for illustration)
map<string, functions=""> Map_Functions;
What I don't like about that is that I have to fill the map manually:
Map_Functions["name1"] = &name1;
Is there a way to fill the map at run time using just the string "name1"?
thanks for any help,
mauree
