open a file NOT for in/output
I have created a simple key logger and I the user has the option to open the log file after it has closed. if anyone knows how to do this please help. the only thing i can find is to open it for output. but it's already output so i just want to open it for viewing. Thanks A LoT
do you mean viewing it in your program? if you output it to a file, the user should be able to just view it using notepad or something, but if you want to use it in your own program, it depends on which functions you are using.
if you are using the fstream stuff, you need to use ifstream
if you are using FILE* functions, you need to do fopen("file.txt","rb");
and fread
a simple search of the FAQ brought up this:

open it with notepad
It asks the user if they want to open the file with notepad. is there any way i can do this through c++ automatically, or would the user have to open the file manually?if anyone could help, please do. thanks a lot.
Couldn't you do this:
???? That'd work if it was a console prog. For a windows prog you could probably use the API (which function I don't know - haven't learned that yetCode:system("notepad " + file_name);)

mdbnkc- use the .txt file extension and you won't have the problem of the user trying to open the file. That box comes up when windows doesn't recognize the filetype and wants to know what do do with it. vbmenu_register("postmenu_363842", true);
thanks
dvldrmmr i just used the system command and it works fine. is there any way to incorpoate the ! symbol to a case, for example:
I know that doesn't work but i dont want it to be the default. thanksCode:case !'a'
there is no way to do a !'a' with switch statements, only way you could do it is have an if test and do something like charVar!='a' or something like that
