I found the issue I had was in using a LPCTSTR style null-terminated string pointer which is volatile (temporary). See MSDN index entry for more info.

I think because it was a pointer to a CString...

I have a general question regarding a variable I'm trying to maintain a value for that is changing ambiguously throughout my program.

Here's a brief outline of how my program is doing the...

I was daunted by the idea of having to start the project from scratch but I did so anyways, and the error is gone. Seems like an arduous task and that there should be a simpler solution, but I'm not...

It does, yes. It's created in the temp location for your project when you build your project in Visual Studio C++ 6. And yes, I checked.

I tried to compile a program I worked on a couple weeks ago, and now it won't compile properly. I'm getting the error:

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file ".\file.obj"

I can't...

I scrutinized the code and found a foolish reference to an array location [-1] that was preventing the data-assignment code loop from running. Fixed it and things appear to be spot on regardless of...

I see what you're getting at, but the code is straight up as above. There is no call to a function and no assertions. The data is read in from a file to the global struct, then later writes the...

I'm experiencing an odd issue with an application I have developed. It parses data from a file and later writes the required elements in a header for a different file. In Debug mode, it compiles...

The basic code for what you want is below. However, there are many things that can go wrong as there is little error checking involved (such as buffer overflow - when a user inputs too much...

fgets() appends a null terminator to an array. So regardless if you can see it, it's there at the end of your string for the filename. You should read (at the very least briefly) through a tutorial...

Some issues to take note:

1- You're declaring char buf[BUFSIZ] and char *p twice, which isn't necessary (or proper in this case).
2- You are declaring variable fileName as a single character...

You're reading in a single char using
scanf("%c", &a);

Check out reading in lines of text with fgets().

Double up each "\" (i.e. "\\"). "\" is an escape character, so to escape itself (to ouput itself) you have to use two.

I just started learning VC++ in June, so I know where you're coming from. I Googled for resources a bit, and just had to read up quite a bit. That and a bit of practice can go a long way.

I found...

javaw.exe is equivalent to java.exe but there's no console window launched when called.

See reference if you're curious. Nothing fancy about it really (literally).

ShellExecute does sound...

I didn't, but could you elaborate on potential benefits versus CreateProcess?
I'd like to use the most applicable solution for my situation.

Thanks for the help. I guess I didn't understand the parameters properly on the MSDN page.

The correct code to launch it turns out to be:


CreateProcess(NULL,"javaw -jar \"C:\\PATH TO...

I've gone over the FAQ regarding this issue, but I can't get the Windows implementation method to work. I think I know why, but I'm not sure how to go about getting around it.

I'm trying to allow...

I'm working on a program written in VC++ 6.0 and I'm at a point where I want to increase the efficiency of the program. It's a conversion utility that parses an ASCII file for conversion factors and...

I was wondering if it was perhaps the CString type that was causing conflict. I'll try your suggestion, Salem.

Edit: Yes, that worked like a charm. Thanks for the input. =]

As to why I chose...

I have another question regarding sscanf as part of the above code; thought I'd throw it in here as opposed to cluttering up the place with a new thread.

I'm trying to read in a file and parse the...

I found that this morning when I took a fresh look at the code. Thanks for the let-know, though. Funny how something so menial can slip me by so easily.

I'm back again, with another fgets issue (sort of).

I've used this code numerous times, as it's quite standard, but for some reason I'm getting an error now.


Debug Assertion Failed
File:...

Ah, I completely overlooked that. Thanks. And for the welcome. =]

Brilliant. That's just what I was looking for, thanks.
