Works fine, thanks for your help

I want to open an existing file without checking the file extension because this changes sometimes. In DOS (and windows) you can add an asterix (*) and all files with the same name are shown.
The file is opened with the FileCreate command:
<br />
sprintf(FileName,"%s%s.%s",readloc,ProdBest,ext);<br />
hFile = CreateFile(FileName,GENERIC_READ|GENERIC_WRITE,0,0,OPEN_EXISTING,0,0);
readloc is defined as: c:\\ProdIn\\, ext the file extension. these are defined in an INI file
ProdBest is the filename to be searched
if I define the ext as a txt file it works perfect, but if I change the extension to * I get error 123 (ERROR_INVALID_NAME)?

Yep - a * is invalid in a file path. You're creating a file, which means you need to specify the actual name, how can you use a wildcard to create a file ?

reading the doc I've found the FileOpen() function is not allowed anymore for a 32-bits processor, and the CreateFile() function should be used. So how do I overcome this problem? Do I have to check for every possible extension seperately?

You need to read his reply more carefully.
Using * (wildcard) is fine if you're searching for a file (eg FindFile), but no good if you're using a file - you're using a specific file, so you should give it an exact name.
Whether you're using FileOpen, CreateFile, fopen, CFile::Open, or MyStrangeFileAPI is beside the point.
Just think what would happen if more than one file was "found". Which should you use? Should it change? How psychic do you expect the OS to be?

Plz sir... CPallini CPallini abuz drugz, plz plz help urgent.

Enumerate all files with FindFirstFile() and FindNextFile() and filter out the one you want to open.
|
|
|
|
|
Functions that open files can only operate on one file at a time, thus wildcards are not valid in this context.

when im compiling the dll n using in my main.h...then it shows a message window with "LOADED" which means library is loaded...but it does not show any message window defined in the library entry function (DllMain's switch statement).....n it shows "TEST LOAD FAILED"...don't know why..please help me..i read an article on microsofts site for using dll n thats what im doing....link is
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/815065[^]
please help someone...
i also tried using
typedef void (*MYPROC)( );//like function pointer..n then using
MYPROC test;
its giving same outputs...first point that is making me mad is why the hell its not executing any of the MessageBOX( function in DllMain function...which is entry point...thanx...

Please use <pre> tags to surround code.
Are you loading the right DLL?
Have you used Dependency Walker on your DLL to make sure test function is exported?

Hi,
try this
<br />
<br />
#include "stdafx.h"<br />
#include "DLL.h"<br />
<br />
BOOL APIENTRY DllMain( HMODULE hModule,<br />
DWORD ul_reason_for_call,<br />
LPVOID lpReserved<br />
)<br />
{<br />
switch (ul_reason_for_call)<br />
{<br />
case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:<br />
case DLL_THREAD_ATTACH:<br />
case DLL_THREAD_DETACH:<br />
case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH:<br />
break;<br />
}<br />
return TRUE;<br />
}<br />
<br />
DLL_API int nDLL=0;<br />
<br />
extern "C" DLL_API void test(void)<br />
{<br />
MessageBox(NULL,"TEST","Code Project",MB_OK);<br />
}<br />
<br />
<br />
and in your main application
<br />
typedef void (*MYPROC)(void);<br />
<br />
void CDialogDlg::OnBnClickedButton1()<br />
{<br />
HMODULE hMod = 0;<br />
hMod = LoadLibrary("DLL.dll");<br />
if(hMod == NULL)<br />
{<br />
return;<br />
}<br />
MYPROC test = 0;<br />
test = (MYPROC)GetProcAddress(hMod,"test");<br />
if(!test)<br />
{<br />
FreeLibrary(hMod);<br />
return;<br />
}<br />
<br />
test();<br />
<br />
FreeLibrary(hMod);<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
thanks

Hi,
I think the problem with your code is the name mangling done by the C++ complier . so make your function "C" specific.ie extern C tells compiler that it's C style function.

Hi,
I am getting the following error 0xC0000005: Access Violation., is there is a reason why I am getting, my code compiles correctly but while debugging i am getting this error.

There could be milions of reasons for it to happen. The best thing you can do to fix the problem is to use your debugger properly and to see what is happening in your code.

|

I got this error when I use malloc and free 
It means you are reaching and doin smt in memory at wrong place.
what is your code where did you get this error...
most of the time pointers can do that if you point wrong address
|
|
|
|
|
The debugger should be a clue here, try looking at the screen when the crash has occured and see what the debugger is pointing at.
The code, call stack and locals windows should help.

Did you use of breakpoints for trace your code line to line?

Yes, you got a runtime error, never heard about?
There's a wonderful tool, called debugger, that greatly helps in such cirmcumstances.

Hi,
All how can I use URLDownloadToCacheFile() or URLDownloadToFile() to perform a resumable download of files from http?
For example I am downloading a 500mb zip file then at 200mb i got disconnected, Can i reconnect and start at 200mb? Can I use this without MFC?
Thanks,
Jayjay

It dependes to that site that does it support resume or no?

Hi Hamid,
It is just an http site, I will not use an FTP site
Thanks

FTP supports the RETRIEVE and REST commands. I do not know of an HTTP equivalent.
