Problem

[deeisenberg]

So I have been attempting to make a function which will take a file in the format...

X
1111111100000000000000000000111111111111...
1111111111111111111111111111111111000000...
1111111111111111111111111111111111111111...
1100000000000000000000000000000000000000...
...

1111111111111100000000000000000000000000...
....

Where X is the number of blocks of numbers, each of the blocks are 32 lines, and each of the lines in the blocks are 310 characters long. I want to have this function read each of these blocks, determine if there are any instances within each block where the sequence 01 occurs, and then if that is the case place an "R" in the empty line after the block.

Currently I have...

void prune(void) /*Prune results*/
{
    int i, bi, ini, reps; /*Counter, branch counter, inner counter, # of sims*/
    char str[311], rev; /*Line by line string, reversal detector*/
    FILE *fs;
    if((fs = fopen("compreadasym32.txt", "a+")) == NULL) { /*Complex computer readable summary file*/
        printf("Error opening file.\n");
        exit(1);
    }
    fscanf(fs, "%d", &reps);
    for(i=0; i<reps; i++) {
        for(bi=0; bi<32; bi++) {
            fgets(str, 311, fs);
            for(ini=1; ini<310; ini++) if((str[ini]-str[ini-1])==1) rev++;
        }
        if(!rev) fprintf(fs, "R");
        rev=0;
    }
    fclose(fs);
}

This doesn't alter the file in any way when run.

I would declare one array of 32*310+1 bytes to hold the whole block (+1 for the null), and a second of 312 (310 digits plus new line plus null). Then I would call use fgets 32 times to read in each line into the small buffer and concatenate that line onto the end of the big one. Just remember to trim the new line from fgets before concatenating it onto the end of the string. Then you can use strstr to find your "01".

Well in-place edits of a text file are not supported.

So you need to read from one file, and write to another, making a copy of everthing you read, and occasionally outputting an R as well.

Note that the fprintf output is appended to the end of the file. It is not inserted in the place you are reading from.

Okay so I tried to put the results from the test into a new file and so I changed the code to this.

void prune(void) /*Prune results*/{
	int i, bi, ini, reps; /*Counter, branch counter, inner counter, # of sims*/
	char str[311], rev; /*Line by line string, reversal detector*/
	FILE *fs;
	if((fs = fopen("compreadasym32.txt", "a+")) == NULL) { /*Complex computer readable summary file*/
		printf("Error opening file.\n");
		exit(1);
	}
	FILE *ft;
	if((ft = fopen("readassym32.txt", "a+")) == NULL) {
		printf("Error opening file.\n");
		exit(1);
	}
	fscanf(fs, "%d", &reps);
	for(i=0; i<reps; i++) {
		for(bi=0; bi<32; bi++) {
			fgets(str, 311, fs);
			for(ini=1; ini<310; ini++) if((str[ini]-str[ini-1])==1) rev++;
		}
		if(!rev) fprintf(ft, "R%d\n", i);
		rev=0;
	}
	fclose(fs);
}

It does make the other file and reports a column of R_ for some but not all of the block numbers. The only problem is it it wrong about which ones have "01".

[MK27]

How can you tell? You are not writing out the contents of the original file.

[deeisenberg]

This is only one function of the program. I checked through the file being read myself and the results are wrong.

Keep it simple!

"r" for reading, "w" for writing.
