What seems to be the problem here!!

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>

void main()

{

int year, day, hour, PRN, prev_year, prev_hour;

year = 2100;                ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
day = 100;                        ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
hour = 20;                        //////////////////////JUST FOR TESTING PURPOSES/////////////////////////////////
PRN = 122;                        ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

prev_hour = 19;                ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

char string_variable [200];

(prev_year = year - 1);
(prev_hour = hour - 1);

        if (year == prev_year + 1)

{                sprintf(string_variable, "c:\\temp\\PRN%3d\\Y%4d\\d%3d\\h%2d.ems", PRN, year, day, hour);
        }
        else (sprintf(string_variable, "c:\\temp\\PRN%3d\\Y%4d\\d%3d\\h%2d.ems", PRN, year, day, hour) == NULL);


if (hour == prev_hour + 1)

{                sprintf(string_variable, "c:\\temp\\PRN%3d\\Y%4d\\d%3d\\h%2d.ems", PRN, year, day, hour);
        }
else (sprintf(string_variable, "c:\\temp\\PRN%3d\\Y%4d\\d%3d\\h%2d.ems", PRN, year, day, hour) == NULL);

}

the code executes but no files or folders are produced :-(

Why would it? I don't see any place where it would, all I see is a bunch of sprintf's

oops!!

i´ll be right back!! :o :o :o :o :o

but this should work, right?

I ran a C beautifier on your code and put in a couple of braces to show you exactly how the code is executing. Take a close look and see if this is really what you want.

Code:

---


#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>

void main() {
    int year, hour, day, PRN, prev_year, prev_hour;
    {
        year = 2100;
        day = 100;
        PRN = 122;
        hour = 20;
        prev_year = 1999;
        prev_hour = 19;
        char string_variable [200];

        (prev_year = year - 1);
        (prev_hour = hour - 1);

        if (year == prev_year + 1) {
            sprintf(string_variable, "c:\\temp\\PRN%3d\\Y%4d\\d%3d\\h%2d.ems", PRN, year, day, hour);
            CreateDirectory("c:\\temp\\PRN%3d\\Y%4d\\d%3d", NULL);
        }else{
            (sprintf(string_variable, "c:\\temp\\PRN%3d\\Y%4d\\d%3d\\h%2d.ems", PRN, year, day, hour) == NULL);
        }

        if (hour == prev_hour + 1) {
            sprintf(string_variable, "c:\\temp\\PRN%3d\\Y%4d\\d%3d\\h%2d.ems", PRN, year, day, hour);
            CreateDirectory("c:\\temp\\PRN%3d\\Y%4d\\d%3d", NULL);
        }else{
            (sprintf(string_variable, "c:\\temp\\PRN%3d\\Y%4d\\d%3d\\h%2d.ems", PRN, year, day, hour) == NULL);
        }

    }

}

I changed it to this so the folders are created correctly but it still doesnt work!

almost about to cry now!!

thanks for your help so far!

    }

}

tried a few other methods and would like the answer to the riddle!!

:D

Can you be more explicit? What doesn't work exactly? What are you expecting from your program? Is this the directory name you want created:

"c:\temp\PRN%3d\Y%4d\d%3d"

or do you want it to be more like

"c:\temp\PRN122\Y2100\d100"

i would like the second version.

thats it!!

i got it.

thanks for everyones help anyway :)
