Hi Group,
Any ideas how to check for files in a directory, to see if any are of the
same prefix, and make a count of them.
I have a round 100 files, the filename is made up of an engineer number
followed by a contract number.
I want to see how many files each engineer has:
while (! end of list)
{
if (file_name_pref ix == engineer_id)
{
engineer_id++;
}
}
any ideas VERY appreciated.
Many Thanks,

Directories are off-topic here, C as described in the Standard knows nothing
about them. See your compiler's documentation on how to walk a directory on
your operating system.
Checking for a filename prefix, however, is easily done in standard C.

Provided you have built the list using some platform specific extensions,
_and_ provided the definition:
const char engineer_id[] = "ABCD";
while (! end of list) { if (file_name_pref ix == engineer_id)
if (strncmp(file_n ame, engineer_id, sizeof engineer_id - 1) == 0) { engineer_id++; } }
any ideas VERY appreciated.
Use strlen instead of sizeof if engineer_id is not constant. (There are two
differences between the two: one syntactical and one semantical. Details
are left as an exercise for you.)
You may also consider changing the logic slightly if the engineer's id is
not at the fixed position in the file name.

There are probably as many ways of doing this as there are programmers.
Note that for n files, there may be n different engineers.
One way:
-read the entire list
-allocate arrays for n enfineer id's and n counters (preset to zero).
-sort the list (may not be necessary, if the directory read is already
sorted)
-for first item, store engineer id and set counter to 1.
-for each other item in turn, if it has the same engineerid, increment
her counter.
if new id, increment array positions and store id and set new counter
to 1.

I'm trying to write a program that:

2) I made the first part like this:

Hi everyone,
My goal is to pull command switches/options from a file and then assign
the values to select variables which would eventually be included in a
class object.
The data file looks something like this but the switches could be in any
order and not all may be used.

Hi All, I am working on a program to take input from a txt file, do
some calculations, and then output the results to another txt file.
The program that I've written compiles fine for me, however, when I
run it, it stalls and does nothing. I'm wondering if there's something
obvious that I'm missing. My code is below and any help would be
appreciated.
Thanks,

I am new to C language.I want to read integers from a text file and
want to do some operation in the main program.To be more specific I
need to multiply each of these integers with another set of integers
stored in an array.It would be a great help if you could provide some
code for it.I tried the function fscanf but by that I am able to read
only the first integer of the text file.Please help me.
