Hi, I wonder if anyone could help me. I am moving accross from C to
C++ and am writing a program that reads and writes data into a file. I
am aware of the old C ways of doing it but am trying to use the C++
functions which don't seem to be working propperly.
I need to open the file for reading and writing because I want to
search for a possition in a file called settings.dat and then write a
number after a certain chatacter. However when I use
examplefile.get (buffer,100); or examplefile.get line(buffer,100 ), in
addition to reading to the file it also modifies it by inserting the
first three characters of what ot read back into the place it started
reading from. Does anyone know why this might be happening or how I
can get arround this? I am using Dev-C++.
I'll give this test program as an example, it requires any old file
called settings.dat
=============== =============== =============== ===
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#define FSETTINGS "settings.d at"
using namespace std;
int main () {
char buffer[256];
//fstream examplefile;
fstream examplefile (FSETTINGS);
//examplefile.see kg(9,ios::cur);
examplefile.get (buffer,100);
cout << buffer << endl;
system ("PAUSE");
return 0;
}

I don't understand what you said. But neither of those functions should
write to the file.

I suggest adding <string> #define FSETTINGS "settings.d at"
It would be better if you used
const char *const fsettings = "settings.d at";
I changed the case because it is no longer a macro. using namespace std;
int main () { char buffer[256];
I suggest making this
string buffer;
//fstream examplefile; fstream examplefile (FSETTINGS); //examplefile.see kg(9,ios::cur); examplefile.get (buffer,100);
I suggest using
getline(example file, buffer);
Where buffer is a string. Note that this is not exactly the same,
because it extracts the newline character from the stream (and discards
it) rather than leaving it there.
cout << buffer << endl;
system ("PAUSE"); return 0; } =============== =============== =============== =============== ==
I can't see an obvious reason for any serious problems. Your code worked
for me. You might need to give us more information, and the contents of
the input file you used for testing.

Hello folks!
I've got a strange problem with my download-script in conjunction with
M$ internet explorer, if the filename I want to link to includes more

For example:

Hi all,
I've written a small app which firstly reads in from an xml config file to

It basically strips out lines I dont want.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
