Re: How to parse a file and store few strings in an array

Lovely..! This program works like a charm.... Big Grin | :-D

But now I am getting some extra unwanted strings too till the point I wanto extract the needed string..

My new o/p file now look like

Token: DCLGEN
Token: LIBRARY
Token: ACTION
Token: LANGUAGE
Token: NAMES
Token: QUOTE
Token: COLSUFFIX
Token: IS
Token: EXEC
Token: POLICY_NO
Token: REG_NO
Token: EFFECTIVE_DATE
Token: EXPIRY_DATE
Token: CAN_EFF_DATE
Token: CAN_PRO_DATE
Token: RETURN_PREMIUM
Token: CAN_PROCESSED
Token: END-EXEC

But I want the strings only after EXEC and before END-EXEC... ie from POLICY_NO to CAN_PROCESSED... I tried using

while(strcmp("EXEC",tok))

but it ain't working .. :-/

Thanks in advance,
Faez

Try this:

C++

BOOL bCapture = FALSE; // flag to ignore unwanted tokens
while(fgets(buf, bufsize, fp1) != NULL)
{
    tok = strtok(buf,"{ ,}");
    if (tok != NULL)
    {
        if (bCapture == FALSE)
        {
            // not capturing yet, so check for start of list
            if (strcmp(tok, "EXEC") == 0)
                bCapture = TRUE;
        }
        else  // bCapture == TRUE
        {
            // bCapture is true so check for end of
            // list, or display token
            if (strcmp(tok, "END-EXEC") == 0)
                bCapture = FALSE;
            else
                printf("Token: %s\n", tok);
        }
    }
}

[edit]Fixed the "END-EXEC" string, thanks to Carlo for pointing it out.[/edit]

That code was a beauty again .... Big Grin | :-D

Actually... the final file after strtok() looks like the one below... Hmmm | :|

Token: DCLGEN
Token: LIBRARY
Token: ACTION
Token: LANGUAGE
Token: NAMES
Token: QUOTE
Token: COLSUFFIX
Token: IS
Token: EXEC
Token: POLICY_NO
Token: REG_NO

Token: CAN_PROCESSED
Token: END-EXEC
Token: COBOL
Token: DCLCANCL
Token: POLICY_NO
Token: CN-POLICY-NO   //I need this string too in diff array name  tableRow[6][10]
Token: REG_NO
Token: CN-REG-NO	//I need this string too in diff array name  tableRow[6][10]
Token: EFFECTIVE_DATE
Token: CN-EFFECTIVE-DATE  //I need this string too in diff array name  tableRow[6][10]
Token: EXPIRY_DATE
Token: CN-EXPIRY-DATE	//I need this string too in diff array name  tableRow[6][10]
Token: CAN_EFF_DATE
Token: CN-CAN-EFF-DATE	//I need this string too in diff array name  tableRow[6][10]
Token: CAN_PRO_DATE
Token: CN-CAN-PRO-DATE  //I need this string too in diff array name  tableRow[6][10]
Token: RETURN_PREMIUM
Token: CN-RETURN-PREMIUM //I need this string too in diff array name  tableRow[6][10]
Token: CAN_PROCESSED
Token: CN-CAN-PROCESSED //I need this string too in diff array name  tableRow[6][10]
Token: THE

Your code cleverly extracted the strings within EXEC and END-EXEC which I stored in

char tableCol[6][10]

But now I am finding it really difficult to store the strings which are immediatedly followed by the "tabCol" string from the file... Frown | :(

ie CN-POLICY-NO, CN-REG-NO, CN-EFFECTIVE-DATE, CN-EXPIRY-DATE, CN-CAN-EFF-DATE, CN-CAN-PRO-DATE, CN-RETURN-PREMIUM & CN-CAN-PROCESSED which are to be stored in

char tableRow[6][10]

Apologies ... Frown | :(

Thanks a ton,
Faez

Re: How to parse a file and store few strings in an array

Since they all begin with "CN-", you could add a test:

C++

if (strncmp(tok, "CN-", 3) == 0)
    printf ...

Alternatively you have to test for each one individually.

Re: How to parse a file and store few strings in an array

No no... It ain't always preceeded with "CN-" string ...
The strings which needs to be stored in TabRow array are followed by the second occurrence of each tableCol values...
Initially I also thought of using strcat () and append CN- to the tabCol values...
But den I realized that it was for this file only... Other files are completely different.

If you don't have a common character identifier to select your strings then there is little that can be done. And from what you say you will have different rules for different files so it's difficult to suggest any other options.

Finally I have come up witha Not-so-good code... But it works.. Smile | :)

I created another similar situation to parse from END-EXEC to End of File as below...

if (k == 0)
	   {
	     if (strcmp(tok, "END-EXEC") == 0)
	     k = 1;
	   }
else  
        {
           if (strcmp(tok, "THE") == 0)
           {
             k = 0;
           }
           else
           {
         	strcpy(tabRow[m],tok);m++;
              	fprintf(fp3,"Token: %s\n", tok);

           }
}
}
}
// Out of all the loops and condition now....

	j=0,n=0;
	for(j=0;j<=m;j++)
	{
		if(strcmp(tabCol[n],tabRow[j])==0)
		{
			k=j;
			strcpy(tabRow[n],tabRow[k+1]);
			n++;
		}
		else ;


	}
	for(k=0;k<n-1;k++)
	{
	printf("No %d Element under TableCol is = %s\n", k+1,tabCol[k]);
	printf("No %d Element under TableRow is = %s\n", k+1,tabRow[k]);
	}

It wud be nice to get ur comments on this... Big Grin | :-D

Thanks,

Difficult to say really. Assuming it does what you want then that's fine, but I don't see any checks for the specific strings after the "END-EXEC" that you wish to save. Or perhaps that is what the line

C++

if(strcmp(tabCol[n],tabRow[j])==0)

is doing.

Re: Add text to listbox using sendmessage, i'm baffled, c++ win32

7-Feb-12 10:03

I'm baffled here. I have a listbox that I can't send a message to, but if I change CreateWindowEx from Listbox to ComboBox, and change LB_ to CB_, it works fine.

So I have 6 hours into this, and it's time to ask for help. I can't think of anything. Changing the listbox to combobox was just an experiment because I tried everything I could think of, and was surprised it worked. Plus it validates that all my pointers are correct as well.

Here is my question:
I just looking for expert knowledge in how to diagnose this and get it to work as a listbox.

// Site Administrator Listbox
lb_SetupWizard_CreateUser_LB_Field = CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_TRANSPARENT,
	TEXT("ListBox"),
	NULL,
	LBS_HASSTRINGS | WS_TABSTOP | WS_VSCROLL | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | ES_LEFT | ES_MULTILINE,
	50, 122,
	300, 220,
	hSetupWizard,
	(HMENU)IDC_SETUPWIZARD_CREATEUSER_LISTBOX_SELECT,
	GetModuleHandle(NULL),
	NULL
);
SendMessage(lb_SetupWizard_CreateUser_LB_Field, WM_SETFONT, (WPARAM)hFont_SetupWizard_Label, FALSE);
ShowWindow(lb_SetupWizard_CreateUser_LB_Field, SW_HIDE);


// This is inside a database function, that populates the listbox via a loop.
iPosition = SendMessage( lbUserAccounts, CB_ADDSTRING, 0, (LPARAM) szDescription );
SendMessage( lbUserAccounts, CB_SETITEMDATA, iPosition, (LPARAM) (int)pzUserID );

Hopefully this is a typo and you really have LB_ADDSTRING in this function.

Why is common sense not common?

The send message works as a "Combobox", that's why the CB_ADDSTRING is there in the example code.

If I change the window to a "ListBox", and swap out CB_ADDSTRING with LB_ADDSTRING, it doesn't work. error code 87, but then I get a error code 87 with CB_ADDSTRING as well, but the combobox loads the text.

It seems really simple to me, CB for combo box and LB for Listbox. It's driving me nuts.

I didn't think of that,

I tried PostMessage, SendNotifyMessage

I'll give that a spin later tonight.

I'm just going to finish out the code with the combobox first.

I was going to make it to where you can select the user by listbox only, but it didn't work out.

Should I take them out?
