Programming :: C - Put A Specific Arbitrary Part Of A String Into It's Own String?
Apr 18, 2010
So if I'm given a location of a file like:
How can I just take the type of the file at the end? I know I can use strrchr() for a period to get the pointer to the period just before file type. Is there a build in string function that will just take the rest of the string from a certain point on forward in the string? I know it wouldn't be much work to make it myself, but I figured I would find out if it already existed before doing it.

I have a macro which I use with ROOT. In this macro I want to check if a part of string exist so I can ignore it inside a loop. So, inside a loop I want to have something like:
Code:
if (string == "pre_ti_data_bdt*" || string == "pre_ti_data_nn*")
continue;
but of course I cannot use * in this piece of code! How to do this trick in C++?

These must a be a question you received a lot, but I couldn't find a similar thread! It's a simple question.
I need to delete a specific string from a file. For example the specific numbers "3456" from a file. I've tried with the tr comand, using
Code:
tr -d '3456' file,
but it also deleted whichever ocurrence of 3,4,5,6 from my file. Should I use a regular expression?

I've been trying to understand pthread in C a little better. So I made a simple program that takes in a string from the command line and creates a thread to print the string. I've looked online and copied the basic concepts but there are something things I'm confused about. The programs works just fine, but I have questions. Here's what I have so far.
[Code]....
One thing I'd like to know is why the 3rd argument in the pthread_create function which is my SendMessage function needs to be typecasted to a void pointer and then send the address of the function. Also as for the 4th argument, I would see typecasting to void pointer in some of the pthread examples I saw online, but in my case I'm passing a char pointer, would this be correct? In which case would I ever want to pass a void pointer?
Do I need a pthread_exit(NULL) in my main and in the SendMessage function? If so, why? I added the sleep() function so that I could let the pthread_exit function in my SendMessage function execute first. I simply saw that the online examples on pthread had pthread_exit() in both locations.

I've been given a custom-made string class which handles string, wstring and bstr. It has a number of methods and assignment operators to convert to and from different types. The app I work on compiles happily in VS6 and VS2008, but when trying to compile in Redhat (version 4.1.1 in Redhat 5.0)

I have the following two type of strings1: A/D2: A/C/DI am trying to write a subroutine to check whether all of the letters in string 1 appears in string 2. If yes, return true. If not, return false. In the above example, all the letters (A and D) in string 1 are also present in string 2, so I return true.

I'm not used to using "sed", but I need to use it to extract part of a string piped to it.
However, the "1" mentioned in the tutorials I read doesn't extract the token between the two brackets and returns the whole input string:
Code:
/tmp# echo "before [myfile.txt] after" | sed 's/[(.+)]/1/' before [myfile.txt] after
I expected simply "myfile.txt".

I have a String that I would like to sign using a given RSA Private key. I thought this would be relatively easy but I have not been able to find out how to do it, unless I'm looking to far into a simple problem. Do i have to put the string into a file, and sign the file, or can i just sign the string/message?

Code:
But this doesnt seem to give me the desired thing:
Code:
This gives the desired outcome, but its specific, i need a variable in the sed not a string. And if I replace STRING="/mnt/sda1/record/$dd/" then I cant use it for something else, cause its has all the weird backslashes now.

I have a script that among other things generates a makefile with an error that causes make to fail. specifically, the string "-Wimplicit-function-dec" should be changed a bit to "-Wimplicit-function-declaration". Is there a way to have bash add the new eight characters in the right place (on line 105)?

I am a member of a group which has written a program whose source code is being held in a specific directory (~cs252/Assignments/basicAsst/project) and we want to go through and change the parameters for the function "sequentialInsert." My job is to find all occurances of the function call to "sequentialInsert" and to also list the files from where the code came from. Also, I have to be in the commandsAsst directory when I do this. I have tried grep and find combined together, and I am at a lost.

What i want to do is pretty simple.I want to uncomment every line that begins with "deb" (except for deb cdrom) in /etc/apt/sources.list.I know how to do this through system > administration > software sources.I know I can gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.I'd rather not do it that way.I'd rather have a script do it. It's less work, less typing, less clicking, and would work the same on every ubuntu version.

i use this script to get the time and date of back and fourth transactions for a particular execution id. I use a substr command on the 5th column to to cut the milli seconds off the time value. - otherwise the times would look like 08:30:04.235
grep <executionID> <auditfile> | awk '{ print $1, $2, $3, $4, substr($5,1,8}
FIX -> Mon 3/1/2010 08:30:04
FIX <- Mon 3/1/2010 08:32:36
FIX <- Mon 3/1/2010 08:35:08
[code].....
anyhow - i append two sed commands to further clarify the direction of the message.
awk '{ print $1, $2, $3, $4, substr($5,1,8} | sed -e 's/->/ ->IN/g' | sed -e 's/<-/<-OUT/g'
FIX -> IN Mon 3/1/2010 08:30:04
FIX <- OUT Mon 3/1/2010 08:32:36
[code]....
I tried using an awk gsub () command within the string instead of the two seds, but it did not work:
awk '{ print gsub(/<regex>/, <replace with>,$1), $2, $3, $4, substr($5,1,8}
the sed works ok, but it would be cooler to make the replacement within the awk command:
gsub(/->/,-> IN, $1)
Is there a way where i could replace the value of the $1 column in the awk print string?
