How can I open a file, skip first 2 lines and get the 50th character?
EXP 0 R:\000\un\111\e 00\e00noLog\100 6\bdry_arc.e00
ARC 2
1 1 0 0 0 0 7
i.e., I want to get the "7" in the third line, how can I do that?
thx!!

Hi,
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int RetVal = 0;
ofstream Input( "Filename" );
if( !Input.is_open( ) )
{
// Could use exceptions, but since it is so small...
RetVal = 1;
}
else
{
string Line;
getline( Input, Line );
getline( Input, Line );
getline( Input, Line );
cout << Input[ 49 ] << endl;
}
return RetVal;
}
TODO add some more error checking.

The 7 is the 70th character on this line, not the 50th.
Some things are better done with standard unix tools than reinvented:
head -3 bla | tail -1 | cut -b 50

Hi
Now without the typo's ;-)
#include <fstream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
int RetVal = 0;
ifstream Input( "Filename" );
if( !Input.is_open( ) )
{
// Could use exceptions, but since it is so small...
RetVal = 1;
}
else
{
string Line;
getline( Input, Line );
getline( Input, Line );
getline( Input, Line );
cout << Line[ 49 ] << endl;
}
return RetVal;
}

I recommend you decide which language you are working in. This same
question appeared in comp.lang.c.

one way:
1) Open the file for reading
2) Read the first line into a string
3) Read the next line into the same string
4) Read the third line into the same string
5) The character you want is in the string...just use it! (i.e.,
myString[49])

Hi,
When you open a file for writing/appending with open() or fopen(), and
you have multiple applications that might want to write to the same file
at the same time, could that cause weirdness in the file ?
do i have to add manual file locking, or does open()/fopen() provide
file locking ?
Thanks,

There is big or problem in open file in read and write mode..
$file = "data.txt";
$fp = fopen($file,"w+");
$line = fgets($fp,"120"); // i need only 1st line to read and upto 120 bytes
echo $line;
fclose($fp);

Hi,
Both way works, I'd just ask some experts which way is better?
My application creates a log file daily.
Now each time when I write a log, I will open the file and append to the
end. Ocz, if the file is not exist(e.g. another day), it will creates the
file first.

I've been using Python for a few days. It's such the perfect language
for parsing data!
I really like it so far, but I'm having a hard time reading a file,
reading the first few hex characters & converting them to an integer.
Once the characters are converted to an integer, I'd like to write the
data to another file.
Here's the code snipped to the bare minimum:

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

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,...
