how to delete a character in a file ?

Hi all,

I'm currently developping a tool to convert texts files between linux,
windows and mac.

the end of a line is coded by 2 characters in windows, and only one in
unix & mac. So I have to delete a character at each end of a line.

car = fgetc(myFile);
while (car != EOF) {
if (car == 13) {
car2 = fgetc(myFile) ;
if (car2 == 10) {
// fseek of 2 characters
// delete a caracter
// overwrite the second caracter
}
}
}

how can I do that ? is there a function that I can use ? I can't find
one in stdio.h

thx in advance,

Jerem.

Better use '\r' instead of some "magic" values.
car2 = fgetc(myFile) ;
if (car2 == 10) {
And that would be '\n'. BTW, when you open the file in text mode
you may never "see" the '\r' and '\n' as two separate characters
if the "\r\n" combination is the end of line marker on the system.

See the FAQ, section 19.14. In short, you can't delete something from
the middle of a file, you have to copy everything except the stuff you
don't want to a new file.

For traditional MacOS compilers, '\r' tends to be 10,
and '\n' tends to be 13. This illustrates that when dealing
with binary files in a non-native format, it is best to use magic
values. OTOH, when dealign with local text files, '\n' is
best, of course.

Well, there is already a tool, dos2unix and vice versa. Why reinvent the
wheel. Think something new.

I don't believe that, they were also using ASCII. AFAIR on "classical"
MacOS the end of line marker was simply "\n\r" (i.e. the other way
round compared to DOSish systems), but that doesn't make '\r' (i.e. CR)
== 0xA and '\n' (LF) == 0xD.

Believe it, although it wasn't a hard and fast rule that Francois makes it out to be. Many
implementations (e.g. Metrowerks) allowed the programmer to optionally swap the values of
'\n' and '\r' for text streams. Choosing the '\n' == 0x0D meant that text streams where
unencomboured with eol translations.

The standard states that '\n' is an implementation defined value (whether on ASCII based
platforms or not) precisely for support of such systems.

[OT: That said, third party mac compilers had no support for command line arguments, since
Apple's MPW was the only environment that actually provided the notion of a 'shell'. So
compilers were not exactly conforming in the strictest sense.

Compiling command line programs generally involved including a ccommand(&argv) call from
main. Curiously, every development tool that I used (I've never used MPW) got the runtime
startup for command line programs 'wrong' since a main signature of...

int main(int argc, char **argv)

....invariably meant that argc and argv were located below the stack. (The int was returned
in register D0, so that didn't matter.) Fortunately the memory was the top of the
'application globals', a location 'reserved' by apple, but never used AFAIK!]
AFAIR on "classical"
MacOS the end of line marker was simply "\n\r"


The end of line marker was a lone <CR> (0x0D).

I have no idea whether Mac OS X uses linux (<LF> 0x10) linebreaks or not.

the end of a line is coded by 2 characters in windows, and only one in
unix & mac. So I have to delete a character at each end of a line.
The portable way to make such changes is to copy the file and
make changes as you go. There is no portable way to shorten a file
to a length greater than zero except by truncating it to zero length
and then writing new contents for it. Functions such as ftruncate(),
chsize(), and suck() are not portable ANSI C.

Making changes in-place in a file should be done carefully. If
your program crashes partway through, it may leave an unrecoverable
mess.

car = fgetc(myFile);
while (car != EOF) {
if (car == 13) {
car2 = fgetc(myFile) ;
if (car2 == 10) {
// fseek of 2 characters
// delete a caracter
// overwrite the second caracter
}
}
}

how can I do that ? is there a function that I can use ? I can't find
one in stdio.h


A function which deletes a character out of a gigabyte file by
copying all but one character of the file may run very slowly
(although it is possible to write such a function portably if you've
got space for a copy of the file). If it's called once per line,
it could get REALLY, REALLY slow.

ok ;)

and what about the others caracters on OS X ?
I mean caracters between 128 and 255. Do they use the Unix or the Mac
codage ?

i.e. £ is 0xA3 (163) on mac and 0x9C (156) on unix. What about on OS X ?

There's no reason why not having a command line would make an
implementation non-conforming. It would mean that the first argument to
main() would always be 0 or 1, but that's all.

That, however, _would_ make it non-conforming.

I had a look on google to find a tool. But I didn't find interesting one.
Most of them only convert LF and CR characters, but I need to convert
also characters above 128. I also need the source code to adapt the
interface to my program.

But if you know well coded and powerful tools, I am interested.

That's not as simple as you seem to imagine - there are several different
standards (plus an even larger set of non-standard) interpretations for
the characters in that range. Just do a google search for e.g. "iso-8859"
to see just a few ways that range has been used. And there already exists
a tool for that purpose, it's called "recode".

They use whatever coding the program that wrote them used.

Either system would be (and I presume is) capable of interpreting the given text file
under a given charset. Even within a C implementation you may be able to switch between
locales to interpret the same file differently under two different codings.

Ah, but that's a different matter. If int main(int argc, char **argv) is
not supported, _that_ does mean that the implementation does not conform
to the Standard, at least if it claims to be a hosted implementation.
But not having a command line doesn't make this inevitable.

Well, yes, it does; ccommand is reserved for the programmer, not for the

When I use an hexadecimal editor, I "see" both characters.
that's why my program tries to read 2 characters (with 2 fgetc).

in fact, this works perfectly on linux (compiled with gcc), but on
windows (with Borland bcc32 compiler), my program doesn't detect \r\n as
two separate characters, as you told me.

So... how can I detect "\r\n", the EOL in windows ?

On Windows, when you have opened the file in text mode, the "\r\n"
sequence will be returned as a single '\n' because in text mode it
signifies the EOL - and in order to make dealing with text files as
portable as possible the C functions return a '\n' for whatever
the the EOL character or charcter sequence is on the system the
program is running on (as long as the file has been opened in text
mode). So, the obvious solution is to open the file in binary mode
(i.e. with "rb" as the second argument to fopen() when you want t
open the file for reading) whenenver you need to see what's really
in the file without some handling of special characters (the char-
acter with the numeric equivalent of 0x1A is another of such char-
acters that have a special meaning for text files on Windows).

The "problem" does not seem to exist for you on Linux because there
the character signifying an EOL is identical to the '\n' the C
functions are returning, so on Linux (and other Unices) there isn't
any difference between opening a file in text or binary mode.

It sounds like you are describing conversion of '\n' to '\r' and vice
versa when a stream is open in text mode, which would be quite normal.
In fact it's the reason for having text mode and binary mode.

The OP claimed that '\r' was actually 10, ie. the following:

printf("%d\n", '\r');

would print 10. This is a totally different claim (which also
implies that the system is non-ASCII).
I'd have to see it to believe it..

Wrong. On the Mac the linemarker is a CR, not a LF. And there is just a
single character there. (This entirely conforms to the ASCII standard of
that time which states that when only a single character is used to mark
the end of a line, the CR should be used. Unix violated this.)

It better should defind '\n' as 13, because that is the way it is.
However, when transporting text files from the Mac to Unix I always

Well, you shouldn't use UNIX specifications when you want to know
about the properties of a function under Windows. Under UNIX it
doesn't make a difference because there the EOL marker is the
single character '\n' (ASCII 0x0A). But under Windows the
"\r\n" -> '\n' takes place when reading text files and the
reverse when writing. But, of course, you normally won't find
that mentioned in e.g. a UNIX man page. The only really relevant
piece of information is the C standard, where you find

A text stream is an ordered sequence of characters...
...Characters may have to be added, altered, or deleted
on input and output to conform to differing conventions for
representing text in the host environment. Thus, there need
not be a one-to-one correspondence between the characters in
a stream and those in the external representation...

where "text stream" is what you read from or write to a FILE* you
got from e.g. fopen() in text mode and the "external representation"
is the way the file looks like on the disk.

I find it amusing that when I needed to convert Linux files to MS Windows OS

/* lf2crlf.c

to Carriage Return / Linefeed.

#include <stdio.h>
int main (void)

char ch;

Two corrections. 1968, not 1958.

Second, there was not a separate NL in addition to CR and LF.
In proposed-revised-1968-ASCII, the code we used,
there were NL and CR. I think the standard said something like
"CR followed by NL should work, and if you use only one character
for a line separator, use NL."

If I remember correctly, Teletypes used CR and LF for
news and message transmission, and whether a TTY did a CR when
it received the LF code was a per-machine option. The Multics
TTY Device Interface Module converted the storage code of LF
into whatever was needed to accomplish a new line: for Teletypes
I think it sent CR, LF, and some number of delay characters.
