By the way, you don't have to declare a new variable. You can just do if (ans==42).

If you want to get more complicated, you could use two arrays to store a bunch of easter eggs and call them with...

Changing it to a Win32 GUI project in Code::Blocks didn't do anything. Also, it is compiling with "-lcomdlg32", so that's not the problem.

I've also seen plenty of console tools that can open a...

Where exactly do I put that? I don't see it in the source code I got from the place UltraKing linked.

Well now that I have a vague grasp of how to use this function.. I'm now getting an "undefined reference to GetOpenFileNameA@4" error when I compile.

1. Never thought of that but it's a good idea. I never had a problem with using pointers for dynamic arrays, so I always did that.
2. Didn't know the at() function existed/was preferred.
3. This is...

find.cpp

void find(vector<macros> &m, file &f)
{
char *c_file;
c_file=new char[f.oldLength()];
f.oldFile().copy(c_file, f.oldLength());
for(int x=0;x<f.oldLength();x++)
{...

How do I create one of those explorer windows for choosing a file to open? I'm guessing its some WinAPI function but I have no idea what it is. Thanks.

Okay, I've tried writing something, but now I have lots and lots of wonderful errors.

global.h

#include <iostream>
#include <cmath>
#include <vector>
#include <ctime>
using namespace std;

Alright, I did some reading and I think I'm starting to understand how to use references to get around global variables.


void addNewEntry(std::vector<db_entry>& data)
{
...

I don't know anything about references, but I do understand pointers.

I'm wondering though, why are global variables bad? I've used them a few times and I don't see what can go wrong. And since...

I've found in my programs that if the user puts a number larger than 2147483647 (32 bits with all but the leftmost bit as 1) into an int (using cin>>), the program skips over any cin>> anywhere else...

Alright, im getting this now.. I'm a bit neurotic about using code I don't understand well so bear with me..

back() references whatever is the last value in a vector (or array?). So in this case,...

Hooray, more code I don't completely understand xD

1. what does back() do? how is it different from push_back()?

2. With your function, what would I use to output? would it still be...

So if I'm understanding this right...


#include <vector>

int dbSize = 0;

struct db_entry; //creates structure
{
int value1;

That might be what I need.. would it be possible for that same method to be put into a function so a class can be created at the user's request?

Edit: Lemme make sure I follow this, cause I don't....

Wordy title.. Lemme try to explain better.

I'm trying to design a database-like program to see how well I can use file input/output, menus, and other stuff I've been working on in one single...
