Checking to see if the value has looped?

Code:

---

        for (z=0; z <= iLength; z++)
        {
                for (i=0; i <= 6; x=x+6, i++, y++)
                {
                        //cout << char( bin_dec(binnum) ) << endl;
                        sixbit[0] = sOutput3[0+x];
                        sixbit[1] = sOutput3[1+x];
                        sixbit[2] = sOutput3[2+x];
                        sixbit[3] = sOutput3[3+x];
                        sixbit[4] = sOutput3[4+x];
                        sixbit[5] = sOutput3[5+x];
                        sixbit[6] = '\0';
                        strcpy(sixbit2,sixbit);
//                        s64bitenc[y] = char( bin_dec2(sixbit,sixbit2) );
       
                        iLoopTest1 = bin_dec2(sixbit,sixbit2);
                       
                        if (iLoopTest1 != iLoopTest2)
                        {
                                strcat(s64bitenc,itoa(bin_dec2(sixbit,sixbit2),sixbit2,10));
                                strcat(s64bitenc," ");

                                iLoopTest2 = iLoopTest1;
                                iLoopTest1 = -5;
                        }
                        else
                        {
                                break;
                                break;
                        }

                }
        }

---

If I use it without the if and the else

instead of:

Code:

---

                        if (iLoopTest1 != iLoopTest2)
                        {
                                strcat(s64bitenc,itoa(bin_dec2(sixbit,sixbit2),sixbit2,10));
                                strcat(s64bitenc," ");

                                iLoopTest2 = iLoopTest1;
                                iLoopTest1 = -5;
                        }
                        else
                        {
                                break;
                                break;
                        }

---

I use

Code:

---

                                strcat(s64bitenc,itoa(bin_dec2(sixbit,sixbit2),sixbit2,10));
                                strcat(s64bitenc," ");

---

Like I did before I added the ifs, then I get this for output if the input was "0100100001100101011011000110110001101111":
18 6 21 44 27 6 15 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
for output.

Using the if, 18 6 21.

The desired output for what I mentioned up there would be "18 6 21 44 27 6 15" by converting the binary value of every 6 characters into a number.

How do I get rid of all those zeros, easily?

Code:

---

while(s64bitenc[i] != '0')
  printf("%c", s64bitenc[i]);

---

That should work if what you want to output is stored within a char array or string. Hard to tell from the code.

Yeah, but I want it stored without the 0s, not just outputted.

And I'm thinking that it may come to "000000" as a binary value, in which case that would convert to 0, and I nead it read...

Therefore, I need to know exactly why it puts all the extra zeros, and then I could fix it. But I really have no idea other than the fact that

Code:

---

        for (z=0; z <= iLength/(134/6)+1; z++)
        {
                for (i=0; i <= 6; x=x+6, i++, y++)
                {
                        //cout << char( bin_dec(binnum) ) << endl;
                        sixbit[0] = sOutput3[0+x];
                        sixbit[1] = sOutput3[1+x];
                        sixbit[2] = sOutput3[2+x];
                        sixbit[3] = sOutput3[3+x];
                        sixbit[4] = sOutput3[4+x];
                        sixbit[5] = sOutput3[5+x];
                        sixbit[6] = '\0';
                        strcpy(sixbit2,sixbit);
//                        s64bitenc[y] = char( bin_dec2(sixbit,sixbit2) );
       
                        strcat(s64bitenc,itoa(bin_dec2(sixbit,sixbit2),sixbit2,10));
                        strcat(s64bitenc," ");

                }
        }
        s64bitenc[y] = '\0';                //remove trailing garbage characters

        cout << s64bitenc << endl;

---

That gets rid of all the zeros, except one, which I think is caused by the fact I have:

for (i=0; i <= 6; x=x+6, i++, y++)

note the i <= 6. That would explain it, but I haven't tested if it would work without 0100100001100101011011000110110001101111 as the input.

I just tested it using 01001000011001010110110001101100011011110100100001 100101011011000110110001101111 as the value, and it outputs almost half of what it should:

18 6 21 44 27 6

when it should have outputted:

18 6 21 44 27 6 15 18 6 21 44 27 6 15... so that handling mentioned above wouldn't always work.

It gives 18 6 21 44 27 6 61 8 25 22 305 44 27 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 0 0

if I remove the for loops and the handling for all the zeros.

So there seems to be a set number of zeros based on how I set it up, since there is double the number of zeros. That was with using the binary values for "Hello" twice so the binary for "HelloHello" or "0100100001100101011011000110110001101111010010000 1100101011011000110110001101111"

Silly question, Trauts.

Where are 'x' and 'y' initialized?

Interesting problem, but with only a (big) snippet of your code, I'm not sure we can really offer anything other than "guesses".

-Skipper

Right... here's where they're initialized

here's the beginning of the "scramble()" function

Code:

---

        char sInput[8192];
        char sOutput[1024];
        char sOutput2[4096];
        char sOutput3[4096];
        int iLoopTest1;
        int iLoopTest2;
        char s64bitenc[8192];
        char sixbit[6];
        char sixbit2[6];
        char key[100];
        const char sAlphabet[] = "0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz\0";
        int iRotate = 0;
        int iLength = 0;
        int iBuffer = 0;
        int i = 0, x = 0, y = 0, z = 0;

---

Then, just before the for loop, there is this:

Code:

---

        i = x = y = z = 0;

---

Does anyone know what I can do to fix it?

I'll post enough code to compile it around monday or tuesday. I'm going out of town, so I can't do it until then.

Code:

This puzzles me as well. Maybe combine the

for (z=0; z <= iLength; z++)
{
for (i=0; i <= 6; x=x+6, i++, y++)

into one for loop? Can anyone find a way to do that?

Tincan has a point...

for (z=0; z <= iLength; z++)
{
for (i=0; i <= 6; x=x+6, i++, y++)

if that was one for loop, getting rid of the i, then there wouldn't be a problem with it looping... I could change just one value.

Any ideas? maybe...

for (z=0; z <= iLength*6; z++, y++)

Please, can someone help me?
