Can somebody tell me or direct me to where i may find a way of doing a script that checks the output from programs compared to scripts.
Can somebody give me an example of a script code that would test a program
or would someone be able to direct me to where i might be able to find some info on this...
thanks
please dont tell me to do a search because i have already tried and found little useful things there
Sure. www.google.com
Your request make absolutely no sense at all with so little explanation. No one here can read your mind.
Sorry about my explanation...
I just want to know in general when u run a a program against a script file, how do u code the script file. I wouldnt mind seeing examples of code that would able to run against code of some sort.
Does that make any more sense?
Maybe this is a bit clearer...
When i did my assingnments and submitted them, the program my lecturer used compared the output from my program to the one that was specified in the script file or test file he had set up.
I want to know what that sort of code would lookl like.
No. What do you mean by 'script file'?Quote:

What sort of output does the program well...output?
I think i am a bit confused.
When my lecturer ran my code against his test file, it compared my output to the expected output. Is this a script file or a test file or am i completley confused. I think i am confused.
If you mean he was comparing your program's object(machine) code to the machine code of a test program, then the answer is: he must be a very good programmer to be able to generate that sort of report!
say that i my program has to output "hello world!"
but my program outputs "hello world?!"
then the testing program tells u that the ouput is wrong and what the ouput should be
You ARE confused! ( and confusing too )
Chances are, here is what he is doing:
1) Output his program to a file.
2) Output your program to a file.
3) Uses a simple program to read in the results of both programs
from file and then outputs the comparison.
This is quite simple, if this is the case...
I think i am just confused. Lets leave it at that
