vector works one set of files, just not freshly created ones, its a no go.

I was writing a sort function to sort strings with the sort(v.begin(), v.end(), function-call);

then decided to created some image files with sequential numbering in them so I can use them for a quick look to see if they are sorted,
1,2,3,4,5,6,7 etc... after calling the function.

when I ran that function on the newly created files, using blender to get images with numbers already attached to them, quickly. I get file names when sending them into the vector. I get empty space being printed out when I loop through the vector to print out x number files.

I can switch the directory to load off of and it works, then when i change to that test dir it does not print out file names, it is like running a loop with cout<< "\n"; getting just new lines.

The files are valid, I ran them in program that proves it. I have no idea what data or code to show because it is working code. as stated it works on one dir filled with image files just not the newly created ones, where a different program(s) see them just find.

so it is no longer am I sorting properly but, now why it is not picking up the newly created files like it should?

if you just happen to want to look at the code, yes, I will post it upon request.

That sounds like the filenames were read, but somehow instead of getting correctly stored in the vector, you ended up with blank entries? I'd suggest running the program in a debugger and examining the content of the vector from the point you start reading the filenames to the point you print them out.

why it work on everything else just not that one dir?

and

ha, now I got a lean how to run the debugger. SO, what you doing right now? lol

I am running Linux, any suggestions on a easy one that I can fast load vars to watch? because I don't think one is installed on this distro. (yet) you prob use windows.

ok baisc gdb load and run program,

Code:

(gdb) set args -a /media/data/test
(gdb) run
Starting program: /media/data/projects/VSC/C++/mh5000/a.out -a /media/data/test




 b
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::out_of_range'
  what():  vector::_M_range_check: __n (which is 22) >= this->size() (which is 22)

Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
__GI_raise (sig=sig@entry=6) at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/raise.c:51
51      ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/raise.c: No such file or directory.

if you can't make anything out of that then I got a figure out how to break and such with this debugger.

I think I found a good page to help me

out_of_range is the standard exception thrown in cases such as accessing a vector by index with at() out of the range of its valid indices.

**~~userxbw~~** · 10-05-2017

got it, where I am over running it in a loop. on an if ( check )

well I stopped the out_of_range error, but it is still not putting out, the file names.

OK, this is silly, as one can see. in one dir it gets files returns the proper data, next dir with newly created files that (seem) to check out with other programs, a file manager sees them and can open them into a different image viewing program. but not here.

Code:

[userx@void mh5000]$ ./a.out -a /run/media/userx/3TB-External/wallpaper/vlcsnap
fsize 240
newsize 238
 in main v size is = 238
/run/media/userx/3TB-External/wallpaper/vlcsnap/vlcsnap-00001.png
[userx@void mh5000]$ ./a.out -a /media/data/test
fsize 22
newsize 20
 in main v size is = 20

[userx@void mh5000]$

guess I got go take some time and figure out this dgb

telling me something

Code:

no such file
home/sysdeps/x86_64...

for std::memset cstring header which I have set in the file, but I do not even have a directory called "sysdeps" on my system period. then the debugger locks up, maybe me or maybe ddd

Ha it is not picking up anykind of newly created file whatsoever, just ones that have been around for awhile

Code:

[userx@devuan data]$ cd gooby
[userx@devuan gooby]$ ls
file1  file2  file3  file4  file5
[userx@devuan gooby]$ for NUM in `seq 1 1 1000`
> do
> touch $NUM-file
> done
[userx@devuan gooby]$ ls
1000-file  170-file  240-file  310-file  381-file  451-file  
....

I put it in a infant itny loop

Code:

i 11 
i 12 
i 13 
i 14 
i 15 
i 16 
i 17 
i 18 
i 19 
i 20 
i 21 
i 22 
i 23 
i 24 
i 25 
i 26 
i 27 /media/data/gooby/file1
i 28 /media/data/gooby/file1
i 29 /media/data/gooby/file2
i 30 /media/data/gooby/file3
i 31 @�
i 32 �
i 33 �6D��
i 34

Ha crap, went back to my first idea, use strings.

Code:

else if (S_ISREG(st.st_mode))
{ 
//    std::cout << "files "<< path<<std::endl;

    std::stringstream newStringPath;
    newStringPath << path;
    std::string myStringPath = newStringPath.str();

     opts.dfile.push_back( myStringPath ); 
    opts.g++;
}

as it was printing out proper data before adding it to the vector<char *> and not afterwords, I just convert the char * to a string then pass it into the vector<string>, now it picks up everything. Hopefully it will stay that way.
