Two questions...
  1. Is there any difference, apart from the fact that you're putting the output in a textbox?
  2. What does the word "chatcher" mean?

Hi there, a while ago, I posted a question regarding reading japanese text from a text file. Well, since I solved the problem, I thought I'd post my solution for the benefit of other people with the same problem. The plan was to make a script to read and display japanese text. I will use it for making a japanese proverb script and for a japanese language study script.

Hello. I am trying to read a small text file using the readline statement. I can only read the first 2 records from the file. It stops at the blank lines or at lines with only spaces. I have a while statement checking for an empty string "" which I understand represents an EOF in Python. The text file has some blank lines with spaces and other with blanks. Thanks a lot.

Hi, I have these string data: str_data1, str_data2, str_data3, which capture some value after a routine process A. Then I would like to write (append) these 3 string values into a text file each time after routine process A, the text file is named "mytext.dat" in following format with "#####" as separator. The maximum entries of them is 5. When reaching the fifth entry, it will delete the very first entry.

Hello- I am trying to write a snippet which will open a text file with an integer on each line. I would like to read the last integer in the file. I am currently using: file = fopen("f.txt", "r+"); fseek(file, -2, SEEK_END); fscanf(file, "%d", &c); this works fine if the integer is only a single character. When I get into larger numbers though (e.g. 502) it only reads in the 2. Is there

Hi, currently I am reading a huge (about 10-100 MB) text-file line by line using fstreams and getline. I wonder whether there is a faster way to read a file line by line (with std::string line). Is there some way to burst read the whole file and later "extract" each line? Thanks in advance, Thomas Kowalski

Overview: 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,...
