Hi!

I'm writing a program but i'm having some trouble in a function.
My problem is that when the function goes into the bolded cycle below a second time it doesn't enter the cycle and doesn't change the variable premio.

Here the whole function:

void calcular_premios(int cod_seg)
{
	system("cls");
	ifstream fa;
	ifstream fb;
	sContrato c;
	char linha[100], *p;
	int cod_cob;
	float percentagem, premio=0;
	long pos;

	pos = procura_segurado(cod_seg);

	
	fa.open("contratos.bin",ios::in|ios::binary);
	if(!fa)
	     return;
	
	fb.open("cobertura_premio.txt");
	if(!fb)
	    return;
	
	fa.seekg(pos);

	while(fa.read((char *)&c, sizeof c))
	{
		if(c.cod_segurado == cod_seg)
		{	
			fb.seekg(0, ios::beg);
			while(fb.getline(linha,100))
			{
				p = strtok(linha,":"); 
				cod_cob = atoi(p);
				p = strtok(NULL,"\n");
				percentagem = (float)atof(p);
				if (c.cod_cobertura == cod_cob)
					premio+=(c.capital_apolice*percentagem);
			}
		}
	}
	fa.close();
	fb.close();
	
}

Thanks

You need to clear the stream of the error state that is set when the read fails (at the end of the file) the first time through. Use fb.clear() before you start reading.

Yes, that's right.

Would never got it on my own!

Thanks a lot!!!

Hhhmm..

sContrato
linha
cobertura_premio
calcular_premios
c.cod_segurado

Are you Spanish?

Hi there,

It's nice seeing another portuguese fellow around, being a portuguese fellow myself

See you around. Cheers.

Hi again!

Suppose i have a function to sort a file.
I copy half the file to an array and the other half to another array.
Then i sort the arrays (with bubble sort) and copy each of them to a new file.
I then merge the two new files to sort them (merge function) and copy them on the original file, thus sorting the original file (its a program requirement).
My problem is that if a make a new sort the program (using the same files) it creates lots of entries on the original file instead of writing teh new sorted format.

Any ideas on how to pass this?

Thanks

Don't understand. You mean the program takes in a file

0192837465

And instead of making the file

0123456789

It makes this file?

0192837465 0123456789

Also, why bubble sort? Is this some coursework? Because bubblesort is damn sloooooowwww...

Well in that case you could have been more original in the title of your thread. "Ajuda!"
perhaps?

Hi!

Well it's this way:

the program takes a file:

0192837465

breaks it in half, copying it to an array each:

01928

37465

sorts each array:

01289

34567

copies each array to a file and merges the two files in the original, sorted:

0123456789

this works fine one time, when i do it again it goes something like this:

01234567012389456789

Also, why bubble sort? Is this some coursework? Because bubblesort is damn sloooooowwww...

Yes its a coursework...

hmmm some more portuguese ppl?!? Anyway you should be addressing Goldrak since it was him who started the thread

I identified where the problem seems to be:

	fi.clear();
	
	fi.seekp(0);
	fa.seekg(0);
	fb.seekg(0);
	
	fa.read((char *)&c, sizeof c);
	fb.read((char *)&d, sizeof d);
	
	while (!fa.eof() && !fb.eof()) 
	{
		if (c.cod_cobertura > d.cod_cobertura) 
		{
			fi.write((char *)&c,sizeof c);
			fa.read((char *)&c, sizeof c); 
                }
		else 
		{
			fi.write((char *)&d,sizeof d);
			fb.read((char *)&d, sizeof d); 
		}
	}
	
	while (!fa.eof() ) 
	{
		fi.write((char *)&c,sizeof c);
		fa.read((char *)&c, sizeof c); 
	}
	
	while (!fb.eof() ) 
	{
		fi.write((char *)&d,sizeof d);
		fb.read((char *)&d , sizeof d); 
	}

	fa.close();
	fb.close();
	fi.close();

When i enter this part of the program ( the 3 while's) a second time, it doubles the number of existing entries on the fi stream.
It appends the new information instead of writing from the beggining...

What i'm i doing wrong??

Thanks

I have no idea of what the fa/b/i FILEs are supposed to do; however I'm guessing that fi writes the values to the file and fa/b are for the temp files.

Have you made sure the file is empty before you write with fi? Like opening it in ios::truncate?

yes, you're right!!

This was the problem, i was appendind the fa and fb files instead of truncate them.

Thanks a lot!!
