Thread: Parse a file

I have a file called "db.ini" which contains a list of ilenames that all end with '0'. I want to parse this data and find and remove the '0' and then store the new filenames in a vector of strings. This is the code i have so far but i am having a bit of trouble with making it loop onto the next file. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated:

Code:

LPCVOID buffer[9999];
char TempBuffer[sizeof(buffer)] = "";
HANDLE hFile1;
DWORD size;
LPCSTR FileName;
vector<LPCSTR> FileNames;

LPCSTR Parse()
{
  char text[sizeof(buffer)] = "";
  memcpy(TempBuffer, &buffer, sizeof(buffer));    
  for (x = 0; x != sizeof(TempBuffer); x++)
  {
         text[x] = TempBuffer[x];
         if (text[x] == '0')
         {
                     text[x] = text[x + '0'];
                     FileName = text;
                     FileNames.push_back(FileName);
         }
         else
         {
                     FileName = text;
         }
  }
  
}

......
hFile1 = CreateFile("db.ini", GENERIC_READ, 0, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, 0, NULL);
size = GetFileSize(hFile1, NULL);
ReadFile(hFile1, &buffer, size, &dwNumRead, NULL);
Parse();

[EDIT] Forgot to mention it gets the first name of the filenames in "db.ini" ok[/EDIT]

What's this got to do with anything?

In short, why aren't you using the standard C++ streams to read a line at a time into a std::string, rather than trying to pre-optimise everything by reading the whole file into a big dumb buffer which might not be big enough to begin with.

> text[x] = text[x + '0'];
Replace a character with a character which is 48 places away ???
