Thread: Doubt: File I/O and DLLs

Hello everybody!

I'm a newbie on programming and I'm trying to create a routine to write some calculated variables on a text file. There is a lot of file I/O examples on the internet, and I've made some by myself (they work fine), but when I try to use them on a DLL, nothing happens, though the compilation runs successfully.

Is there any mystery about File I/O and DLLs on C?

Thanks in advance,

Gabriel Casagrande

I don't get this question.
Post code...
...and, C or C++?

I'm using this language to edit an open-source software, which has a graphical interface that uses an engine (a DLL made in C). This software is for hydraulic systems project. On my final thesis, I have to change the original water demand calculations of this model.

So, I am trying to create a routine to write the variables on a text file and then, pass by pass, know if what I am calculating is correct or not.

When I use the codes I created in a different project (a console application), everything runs fine: the text file is created, and the variables are written on the file. But, using the same code on the DLL, nothing happens.

The code is:

Code:

void demands()

{
    FILE *f;
    int i;
    f = fopen("demands.txt", "w");
    for (i=1; i<=Njuncs; i++)
   {
       fprintf(f, "%d %d/n", i, D[i]);
   }
   fclose(f);

}

Where D[i] is the demands array, calculated in other function. I've tried to run the code inside that function, but nothing happened either.

Thanks,

Gabriel

Are D and Njuncs global variables? Are you sure Njuncs has the value you think it has? It looks like you're using C and not C++, so this topic should be moved to appropriate section of the forum. Or, are you using C++?

Also, newline char is '\n' and not "/n".

What does 'nothing happens' mean? Ensure your function is called properly. And check if the file is even created.

Ops! Sorry, It's true, the topic is in the wrong section... I'm using C
How could I move it to the right section?

D[i] and Njuncs are global and I've tried to use this code inside the D[i] calculation routine. I guess everything's alright with Njuncs, but I'll look at this carefully.

I mean that the file is not created =)
