Hi
I'm programming a tool that collects game server IPs and logs them into a file. The logging is fine, however there are a lot servers with the same IP, that's why I want servers already logged not to be logged into the file again.

What is the best approach? Should I use an array, a linked list or something else where I should store all IPs in form of a string? And how can I search for strings inside an array/linked list etc.? Furthermore the technique should be very fast.
/edit: I should mention that I can't use MFC, only plain Win32 API

If someone could give me a hint or a link I would be very grateful Smile | :)

regards
Greg

Use an STL set - it doesn't allow duplicates, and has log(n) time for searching.

Besides Dave's sugestion, store the IPs as int, since each IP is formed by 4 bytes (numbers from 0 to 255).

User breakpoint when trying to free memory.

My function looks like this:

void ReplaceString(char *szSourceString, const char *szToReplace, const char *szReplaceWith)
{
	char *szReplacePos = strstr(szSourceString, szToReplace);
	char *szFirstPart = new char[strlen(szSourceString)];

	while (szReplacePos != NULL)
	{
		memset(szFirstPart, 0, strlen(szSourceString));
		strncpy(szFirstPart, szSourceString, szReplacePos-szSourceString);
		strcat(szFirstPart, szReplaceWith);
		strcat(szFirstPart, &szReplacePos[strlen(szToReplace)]);
		strcpy(szSourceString, szFirstPart);
		szReplacePos = strstr(szSourceString, szToReplace);
	}

	delete[] szFirstPart;
}

The szFirstPart pointer never changes but i still get a user breakpoint message. I have't free'd it before in the while loop so i don't understand it, any ideas?

THanks

A buffer overrun...

change to this:

char *szFirstPart = new char[strlen(szSourceString) + 1];

char *szFirstPart = new char[strlen(szSourceString)+1]; // + 1 for the EOL char

Then take that char into account everywhere, for instance :
memset(szFirstPart, 0, strlen(szSourceString));
becomes
memset(szFirstPart, 0, strlen(szSourceString)+1);

MFC doc/view issue

I all,

I'm attempting to write an application using the doc/view arch. and I'm not sure how to do the following:

I want to have multiple views of a single document (read, different views using different dialogs and the like). A similar way to look at it would be the windows explorer. 2 very different views of the same data. That is in essence what I want to do, but each view has its own dialog box and set of functions associated with it. They are implemented as seperate dlls since they are used in many other applications.

Can I do this by setting up the splitters correctly?
What do I have to do to display these other dialog boxes within that particular view?

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, even if it is another way of approaching the manner. I am using toolbars and rebars extensively and thought the doc/view approach would be the way to go.

Thank you in advance. This could be a complicated matter (it is to me!)

Yes, it is possible to implement multiple views of a single document and it can be done with a splitter frame.

The simplest solution for multiple concurrent dialog boxes is modeless style over modal style. Otherwise, consider a propertysheet.

How to change the background of a CHotkeyCtrl ?

Hi,

I can override WM_ERASEBKGND and fill the control but it is valid only when the control has not the focus. If it gains focus, the text is drawn with a background system color (COLOR_WINDOW), WM_CTLCOLOR is not called.

Any idea ?

I dont know where to post this. My MFC app has a HElp Menu item> i want to launch the tripane help window from this button. My HTMLHELP workshop book tells me how to make a help project so I am assuming that I have the .chm file. Now I need to know how to launch this using the HTMLHelp API.....

You can use the ShellExecute function:

HINSTANCE ShellExecute(
HWND hwnd,
LPCTSTR lpOperation,
LPCTSTR lpFile,
LPCTSTR lpParameters,
LPCTSTR lpDirectory,
INT nShowCmd
);

As operation you specify "open", as file your .chm file.

You can't directly (not that I'm aware of anyways. However, one way would be to declare a CString and set it to your char array (CString str = charArray;) and them use the CString members mentioned earlier, are you could use the <string.h> functions such as strcat(), strcpy(), etc... Personally I prefer working with the CString as that wrapper class seems more flexible to me (or maybe its just cause I'm used to it). Either way would work fine and of course, you could also just use pointers and remove/replace in your char array as you like.

hello

i use static linking when i build my app but i had a tester tell me that on an old w95 machine the app couldnt load cos it was missing ws2_32.dll ... now i thought first off that static linking would put that in there but apparently not

can i distribute the ws2_32.dll as part of the installer without stuffing up old machines like that one?

thanks

This component is part of <winsysdir>\FM20.dll. Check out MSDN for further info about redistributing this stuff.
