I know that both code is the same, and I also know that a string is actually an array of characters.

What I meant was that I want to assign a pointer char array, so I can have some sort of string...

Ok, I've changed my code.

Now, when I use:


char *test;
test = "hello";

strcpy(Buff, test);

I've got the following code so far for a char array:



static HANDLE hFileMap;
static char *Buff[2];

// Create File Mapping (use invalid handle, don't link to real file, +1 for...

Ok, that works! Thanks!

If anyone can use it, here is the code:



static HANDLE hFileMap;
static char *Buff = NULL;

// Create File Mapping (use invalid handle, don't link to real...

I've got a bit of a mess right now...sorry for that!



static HANDLE hFileMap;
static unsigned long *Buff = NULL;

// Create File Mapping (use invalid handle, don't link to real file,...

See last message...

Hi,

I'm working on an assignment in which I have to use a memory mapped file.

In another assignment I've done this before like this:



static unsigned long *Buff = NULL;
static HANDLE...

Thanks! I've modified my code...

You mean that I have to define BUFSIZE in my code as such?:



#define BUFSIZE 80

It's not part of my assignment to allocate a dynamic buffer. It's a personal choice of mine.

I can declare the buffer as such: 'char buffer[80]' and read a text file into this buffer. That would...

Yes, I do...

I've got experience with various languages (.NET, Java, VB6, PHP) and operating systems.

C is quite a bit different though...:D

What about using filelength functions, and using this to allocate the buffer?
Is that an option? Or would this be a dirty solution?

I need to use read beause of an assignment. We need to use direct system calls for handling files.

The static buffer size is not a problem for my school assignment, but I'm personally not happy...

Hi All,

I'm new to C-programming, and I'm trying to read a text file.

Here's my code so far.



#include <stdio.h>
2 #include <stdlib.h>
