Good Day,
Is there a way to print 8 bytes in a line in a file using
fprintf...like this

Nope. But of course you can do something like this:
int ch;
int i = 0;
while((ch = getc(fpin)) != EOF)
{
fprintf(fpout, " %02X", ch);
if(++i % 8 == 0)
{
i = 0;
putc('\n', fpout);
}
}
if(i 0)
{
putc('\n', fpout);
}

Nope. But of course you can do something like this:
Well - one could read 8 bytes, and do
fprintf(fpout, "%02X %02X %02X %02X %02X %02X %02X %02X\n",
buf[0],buf[1],buf[2],buf[3],buf[4],buf[5],buf[6],buf[7]);
Assuming he wanted a hexadecimal representation of each
of the individual byte values.
int ch;
int i = 0;
while((ch = getc(fpin)) != EOF)
{
fprintf(fpout, " %02X", ch);
if(++i % 8 == 0)
{
i = 0;
putc('\n', fpout);
}
}
if(i 0)
{
putc('\n', fpout);
}

How about :
char b[8];
...
fprintf(fpout, "%02x", b[0]);
for (i = 1, i < 8; i++) fprintf(fpout, " %02x", b[i]);
putc(fpout, '\n');
or
fprintf(fpout, "%02x %02x %02x %02x %02x %02x %02x %02x\j",
b[0], b[1], b[2], b[3], b[4], b[5], b[6], b[7]);

Yes, but what about the (likelier) case where the file has a number of
bytes that isn't a multiple of 8? Your original version handled that
easily; the suggested version less so. I'm presuming, possibly
incorrectly, that fprintf() is expensive relative to sprintf(), so
perhaps something like this would be good (criticisms welcome):
#include <stdio.h>
#include <assert.h>
#define BYTES_PER_LINE 8
int main( int argc, char *argv[] )
{
char outbuf[3*BYTES_PER_LIN E+1], *bufptr;
int inchar, count=0;
FILE *fpin, *fpout;
assert( argc 2 );
assert( (fpin = fopen(argv[1],"r")) != NULL );
assert( (fpout = fopen(argv[2],"w")) != NULL );
bufptr = outbuf;
while( (inchar=fgetc(f pin)) != EOF ) {
bufptr += sprintf( bufptr, "%02X ", inchar ); /* assume success */
if( ++count % BYTES_PER_LINE == 0 ) {
*(bufptr-1)='\n';
fputs( outbuf, fpout );
bufptr = outbuf;
}
}
if( bufptr != outbuf ) {
*(bufptr-1)='\n';
fputs( outbuf, fpout );
}
assert( !fclose(fpin) );
assert( !fclose(fpout) );
return 0;
}

Naturellement.. .

I'd be tempted to make the "bytes per line" value configurable at runtime.

Three consecutive poor uses of assert. (I suspect you know this. I'm merely
heads-upping for newbies' benefit.)
bufptr = outbuf;
while( (inchar=fgetc(f pin)) != EOF ) {
bufptr += sprintf( bufptr, "%02X ", inchar ); /* assume success */
if( ++count % BYTES_PER_LINE == 0 ) {
*(bufptr-1)='\n';
Does that overwrite the null terminator? I haven't checked, and perhaps it
doesn't, but the safety of the code is not obvious at a (cursory) glance.
fputs( outbuf, fpout );
bufptr = outbuf;
}
}
if( bufptr != outbuf ) {
*(bufptr-1)='\n';
fputs( outbuf, fpout );
}
assert( !fclose(fpin) );
assert( !fclose(fpout) );
Two more poor uses of assert. If you must do this, spin them around. If you
can't close the input file, it would be good to at least have had a stab at
closing the output file before the abort.

In that case, you'd use fread() with the size of a fixed buffer. fread()
will return the quantity read. This will either be the size of the buffer,
or a smaller quantity. So, you need two printing loops: one for the entire
buffer, and one for the remaining bytes. Both of which have been shown.

In theory one could also use Duff's device:
int n = (count + 7) / 8;
switch (count % 8) {
case 0: do { printf("%02X ", *from++);
case 7: printf("%02X ", *from++);
case 6: printf("%02X ", *from++);
case 5: printf("%02X ", *from++);
case 4: printf("%02X ", *from++);
case 3: printf("%02X ", *from++);
case 2: printf("%02X ", *from++);
case 1: printf("%02X ", *from++);
putchar('\n');
} while (--n 0);
}

Ah, le Francais, le langue d'amour! It sounds like you remember as
much of it as I do ;-) (Tu as raison.)

A rare time to give oneself over to the seductive whisperings of
temptation with nary a pang of guilt...

Right, they were quick cover-my-bases hacks.
while( (inchar=fgetc(f pin)) != EOF ) {
bufptr += sprintf( bufptr, "%02X ", inchar ); /* assume success */
if( ++count % BYTES_PER_LINE == 0 ) {
*(bufptr-1)='\n';

No, bufptr points to the null terminator, assuming per the comment
that sprintf() doesn't do anything unexpected; the code overwrites
the last space in the string. The fact that it wasn't obvious to
you probably means it isn't the best plan, but it does work.
Two more poor uses of assert. If you must do this, spin them around. If you
can't close the input file, it would be good to at least have had a stab at
closing the output file before the abort.
Agreed, thank you.

Generally, the struct module is for packing and unpacking of binary

Hi
I am trying to pretty print to file 3 vectors (int,double,double)
where all the cells match like a table format where every thing lines

does c++ has something or mostly use C fprintf?

thats how I like it to look, where the space is to the right of the
number and the number left aligns with the field border.

Hello everyone,
Trusting K&R2 i thought until recently that spaces are ignored in
scanf's format string. Reading arguments to the contrary confused me a
little. So i now ask:
Is scanf("%d%d",...) different from scanf("%d %d",...) in the
Standard's point of view?

In the beginning (Kernighan & Ritchie 1978) there was fprintf, and unix
write, but no fwrite. That is, no portable C method for writing binary
data, only system calls which were OS specific. At C89 fwrite/fread
were added to the C standard to allow portable binary IO to files. I
wonder though why the choice was made to extend the unix function
write() into a standard C function rather than to extend the existing
