Hello,
I try to check the existence of a file with the function
_findfirst(...) .
The file is located in a directory with a blank in its path name: C:
\Program Files\ExtPrg.ex e
When I run the following code:
char FilePath[]="C:\\\"Prog ram Files\"\\ExtPrg .exe";
hFile = _findfirst( FilePath, &c_file );
system (FilePath);
the _findfirst function returns -1 which means that the file is not
found, but the following system command starts the file.
So can anybody tell me, how I have to enter FilePath in a way that the
_findfirst function works?
Thank you. 3 5228

(There's no such function in Standard C, so you're using some kind
of extension: you may get more help by appealing in a group
appropriate to your system.)
The file is located in a directory with a blank in its path name: C:
\Program Files\ExtPrg.ex e
(We hatess pathnames with ssspaces in, preciousss!)
When I run the following code:
char FilePath[]="C:\\\"Prog ram Files\"\\ExtPrg .exe";
Um. If the pathname you want is
C:\Program Files\ExtPrg.ex e
why have you coded up a pathname
C:\"Program Files"\ExtPrg.e xe
??? You've put double-quotes into your pathname using the \" escape.

Functions prefixed with a "_", is a reminder that you are off-topic in

I prefer to write filenames with path this way:
fopen("C:/Program Files/ExtPrg.exe", "r")
aka UNIX like, but works on Win32 as well.

Hi all,
I wonder if it is possible to change (temporarily) a built-in function
for logging purposes.
Let me explain:
I want to log all the 'open' operations, recording the file to be
opened, the "mode" (r/w/a...) and (possibly) the module which made the
call.
After that the 'open' can carry on following the standard built-in
path.
Possibly I don't want to have to modify the source of the application

Hi.
I want to write a program which does different functions according to input.
I need to write it as general as possible.

Hi all,
I'm trying to read from a binary file, and I'm using 'fread()' as
indicated in function 'getfile()'. The variable 'bytesread' shows that I
have read the 557,000 bytes from the file, but because the file has a 00
at the 17h position, when doing >>lenbuf2 = strlen(buf2), I get only 17
bytes. So, it's weird, because fread() seems to put 550,000 bytes in the
buf variable, but after returning from the function, only bytes up to
EOF...

Hi All,
I am using an API function, which takes file path as an input.
When file path contains special characters (@,#,$,%,&,^, etc), API function
gives an error as "Unable to open input file".
Same file path containing special characters works fine in one machine, but
doesn't work in other.
I am using following API function to get short file path.

Haven't programmed in quite a while and not sure of myself. I will be
given a web page based on the pathname, ie, /page1/page2/mypage. I
need to follow that pathname and execute the function called mypage().
It is used to dynamically generate web pages and, obviously, there are
other pages with different names.
So my thought is to examine the pathname and look it up in an array,
perhaps a hashtable, to see if it exists and call it. ...

I have a report containing 2 subreports. The subreports each contain a

is consistently being generated.
This has nothing to do with the page width being too large because it
isn't, and the second blank page displays the report header and footer.
I can reduce the depth of the subreports so that they only take up one
half of the first page's depth, but the second...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
