Hi,
I am trying to use the WinAPI function MoveFileEx to move an entire folder, but can't get the formats of the paths correct. Are trailing backslashes required on either or both paths? Are *.* required? I think I have tried every conceivable combination. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks

I think it will be better if you stablish the path, and then you iterate with the individual file names.
The backslashes should be needed in the string,
CString szFile1 = "C:\\MyFolder\\MyFile1.ext"
CString szFile2 = "C:\\MyFolder\\MyFile2.ext"
...
And I mean:
CString szPath = "C:\\MyFolder\\";
use FindFirstFile (...)
while (FindNextFile (...) can be used)
Get the name and move the file
Greetings.

There should be be semicolons as shown below:

The answer will help you to compile the code., but nothing will run.
you have to include void main() in your program to see something running.

Hey all,
I asked this question before, but (surprisingly) did'nt get any replies.
Let me rephrase it in a bit different way..
I want to implement a SMTP server in C++, but dont know where to start from.
I looked up in internet for any tutorials or any already existing SMTP server classes,
but couldnt find any of them. The only thing that I found were classes for SMTP
clients, i.e. for sending emails, but that is not what I need as you can see.
I would really appreciate any helpful comments regarding this matter.
Thanks.

Hello everyone,
I have a long array (char*) and I need to check which bit is the first bit whose value is 1.
I have two ways to implement,
1. Iterate each byte, then iterate each bit in each byte one by one;
2. Iterate each byte, and check whether the value of the byte itself is non-zero, if yes, then iterate each bit in the byte to find which bit is the first bit which is set to 1, or else skip this byte and continue to iterate next byte.
I think (2) is always faster, right? But I do not know why (2) is faster since it is just my personal estimation without any concrete basis analysis.
thanks in advance,
George

Only because it skips bytes with a value of 0. If your input set had no such values, there would be no difference.

Thanks DavidCrow,
I agree. If the character buffer array does not have a long heading 0-value bytes, there should not be any differences.

2 will be much faster, for data which is likely to have a lot of 0 bytes.
and, as long as you're checking for 0, you might as well test for 255 (all bit set), too.
and, that brings up a question: is there a way to test all the other bit patterns a byte can have without having to shift and mask each one ?
the answer is Yes.
int look_up_table[256];
look_up_table[0] = -1; // no bits set
look_up_table[1] = 0; // first bit set is bit 0
look_up_table[2] = 1; // first bit set is bit 1
look_up_table[3] = 1; // first bit set is bit 1
look_up_table[4] = 2; // first bit set is bit 2
look_up_table[5] = 2; // first bit set is bit 2
look_up_table[6] = 2; // first bit set is bit 2
look_up_table[7] = 2; // first bit set is bit 2
look_up_table[8] = 3; // first bit set is bit 3
...
look_up_table[255] = 7; // first bit set is bit 7
then, to see which bit is set:
int first_bit_set = look_up_table[byte_to_test];
that will outperform any shift-and-mask algorithm probably by an order f magnitude.

Thanks Chris Losinger,
Looks like you have smarter ways to solve my question. I am always interested to learn better ideas. I have studied your idea for a while and I do not quite understand why you have two value 1? four value 2?
Especially I do not quite understand this,
int first_bit_set = look_up_table[byte_to_test];
Could you show me some samples about how it works? Sorry for my stupid and confusion.

binary 0 = 00000000
binary 1 = 00000001 : first bit set is bit 0
binary 2 = 00000010 : first bit set is bit 1
binary 3 = 00000011 : first bit set is bit 1
binary 4 = 00000100 : first bit set is bit 2
binary 5 = 00000101
binary 6 = 00000110
binary 7 = 00000111
binary 8 = 00001000 : first bit set is bit 3
binary 9 = 00001001 : first bit set is bit 3
binary 10= 00001010 : first bit set is bit 3
etc.,
up to 255 = 11111111 : first bit set is bit 7
so, look_up_table is an array of values that track the first bit set for each value a BYTE can hold.
if you want to know the first bit set in 10, for example:
int first_bit_set = look_up_table[10];
that gives you...3

Hello, I've been searching on the net but I just cannot find the right thing to do to get that working.
What I want is, to basically create an image from a folder, containing the folder's contents.
Then, I'd just Mount the file in my program, and read all the images / Music files / Etc, from there, instead of from a folder.
It's hard to explain, pretty much, because I don't really know how this is called.
I'd love to hear some reply on this one
Thanks in advance.

I imagine you are trying a type of "backup".
Take a look into the articles, search for Compression.
I can imagine to do it like:
Supposing a list of structs, each of them with a CString for path/name, other parameters you want to save, and a BYTE* pBuffer with variable length
1) Going to Folder and get the first file complete name (or path)
2) Save path and name into a CString
3) Open the file in binary, get the length, allocate a buffer with that size, and read the contents into a buffer
4) Save it in one struct
5) Get to next file in folder
6) ....
At the end... you can use the CArchive to serialize the data into a file with the extension you want to use, compressing or not the datas.
Afterwards you would be able to read your file, extract the first parameter (the string with name/path) and list them in your app, if you want to extract one, you select the complete object, and create a new file with the binary contents you previously saved.
Hope it helps
Greetings.

I need to be able to tyrack a mouse's mmovement within a dialog that has several (10) EditBoxes. Since it would not be practical for the User to have to tab several EditBoxes to get to the one he/she wants to enter data into; the EditBoxes are not Tabed. I need to know where the User is (in what EditBox) so that the proper function call is active for the users input. This is actually a Wizard-style property page so there is no OK button to poll for; and the User is not required to use any of the EditBoxes on any given page. Hence the need to know when ther User has Started entering data in what EditBox.
Help with usable code examples would be appreciated.

Before I could "SetFocus" to a particular EditBox I would have to know which one the User had selected; or intended to select. Remember, this is a property page with 10 different EditBoxes on it(there are 7 other pages to this Wizard and they each have from 8 to 12 editboxes on them. If the User starts inputing data into a EditBox I need to find out which one he/she is typing into. Hence the need for tracking the mouse movement until a editbox is selected for entering data(left click).
