Programming :: Cannot Get Ncurses To Delete Char With

Jan 6, 2010

I've modified a program to show * instead of letters when typing a password. I'm trying to make it so that when pressing backspace a * will be removed.Here's a rough example. The problem is that when trying to do this in the real program,' is not recognized as backspace.

Programming :: Point A Char Pointer To A Part Of Another Char Array?

Nov 4, 2010

Programming in C.I have two char arrays.char buf1[1024];char buf2[1024];Aren't buf1 and buf2 also pointers?I read in 1024 bytes into buf1 which contain about 300 bytes of characters with newlines. The data is basically a few English sentences. I'm trying to scan buf1 for newlines and then stop at the 1st newline and copy the rest of the data from that 1st newline into buf2.So I run a for loop to look for that new line.

Code:
for(i=0; i<1024;i++) {

Programming :: C++ Invalid Conversion From Const Char* To Char*

Jul 9, 2010

I am having trouble with the following exception class.

Code:

/**Standard Exception
*
*@description
*@update
*@changes

[code]....

Line 43 points at the snprintf() command.I think the error has to do with the function being virtual and the const after the function definition, however although I have been looking really hard I have not being able to find the reason nor the solution to the problem.

One workaround that I know is moving the block of source withing the virtual function, in the constructor, however having read around (boost library exceptions tutorials) it specifically said that formating of errors messages should not take place withing the construction of objects because we are risking throwing an exceptions and messing up the flow order.

Programming :: SH: Remove Last Char If It Is An Empty Char In A String

Jul 5, 2011

With this I may remove the last emtpy char which is not visible, coming from net, windows, ...

Code:
echo "$mystringwindowsorotherwithemptylastchar" |sed s/.$//

However if there are not then it makes a problem and delete effectively an existing char.

Code:
echo "klklj" |sed s/.$//
klkl

Anyone would have a solution for SH?

Programming :: Ncurses: Filling Window With Background?

Apr 6, 2010

I have some ideas about writing a small game in terminal ( just for fun ) using ncurses library. I want to use some kind of menus (in Midnight Commander's style), but there are some problems with rendering windows, that I don't understand. I create a window with newwin(), assign a color pair to it calling wattron() (for example, I want to fill a window with blue background), and then I call my own function wnd_fill() :

Code: void wnd_fill (WINDOW* wnd)
{
int i;

Programming :: Ncurses Based Program Had To Be Recompiled On A Different PC Same OS

Oct 18, 2010

On an Ubuntu Server I am running, I wrote a small Ncurses program in GCC. It worked just fine.

Then, I copied the executable over to my Ubuntu 10.10 desktop edition with sftp. No matter what I did, it kept giving the error:

error opening terminal: xterm.

I had copied other non-curses programs and they all ran just fine.

Finally, I copied over the source, recompiled with GCC and voila, the executable now runs fine.

Programming :: Ncurses Screen Prints Garbage

Feb 9, 2011

I actually have two reasons for posting this. One is to see if there's an actual name for characters like this:Hopefully that will show up correctly for you. If not, it's a little box with four numbers in it, one in each corner. I don't know their name or their reason for showing up, so it's hard to look for help.

My main problem, though, is that I wrote a program that prints some output to a console using ncurses as it runs. These characters show up on the console, seemingly at random, and disturb the whole thing. Sometimes I'll also get sets of characters like "[13;" I'm not printing anything bizarre on there, just strings and floating-point numbers.

Programming :: Programming In C Using Ncurses?

May 2, 2010

I have a question, I was using ncurses in my program and made a user interface, that uses the menus. It is fine, but I wanted to execute another program when one item is selected. And after its exiting, I come back to the main one. I think that it can be done via window, but I wanted to separate them. Can you suggest me what to do? As I do it in Ubuntu Linux using fork & execl, that seems everything is mixed with the shell & if I don't do the closing of the objects, the keyboard & terminal attributes are the same as the one for the main, I used the system function, but not very different. I used atexit and when I use (probably) system (stdlib) function it calls the function registered with atexit. Please tell me the solution..

Programming :: GMP And Converting Mpz_t To Char?

Jul 16, 2011

I'm writing the Diffie-Hellman key exchange system using GMP to handle big integers. For the most part, everything works. I can convert the string to mpz_t, set up the keys and everything, and encrypt it fine. Its the decrypting I'm having issues with. What I'm using is mpz_xor() for both. To encrypt I'm doing mpz_xor(buffer, mpz_of_text, secret_key), and to decrypt I'm doing mpz_xor(buffer, mpz_of_cipher, secret_key).

For one character, it semi-works...it'll decrypt it fine, but it'll return it as it's ASCII value (i.e.: if I encrypt "A", it'll decrypt it as 65). Which, I can easily just do sprintf(decrypted_buffer, "%c", 65) for example and be fine. But, when I'm sending text bigger than one character, the encryption for AB gives me something like 1061043 after running the decrypting xor on it.

Has anyone ever done this before or can point me in some directions? Perhaps other algorithms to try? I know XOR isn't the most secure encryption method to use, but at the time I wasn't sure what else to use. I'm really just having a hard time trying to convert a mpz_t to a character string. I've looked at mpz_get_str() and it works before running encryption (i.e.: using mpz_set_str() to create a mpz of a string, then calling mpz_get_str() to change it back). Maybe my XOR method is wrong? Here's the code I'm using:

Code:

/**
* str2mpz()
* b The current buffer of text to convert [in]
* m The mpz_t variable to store converted text [out]

Programming :: Passing The Char * Vector Argument?

Jun 19, 2010

I am trying to simulate a shell. So what I do is checking of having the parameters from standard input, suc as "/bin/ls -l /home/france/Documents", and then passing them to function execute, which at some point calls execvp(argv[0],argv)The problem is that I don't succeed in using these arguments, while if I call execvp(paramList[0],paramList) it works!!!! Where paramList is exactly what I would put on standard input, but defined statically.

Code:

#include<unistd.h>
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<string.h>

Programming :: If Test Validation - Using Char Arrays

Jun 9, 2010

I'm writing a code to get the index of the last occurrence of a given substring in a string.

Code:
int StringHandler::lastIndexOf(string src, const string s) {
unsigned int lastIndex = string::npos;
if (src.find(s, 0) == string::npos) {
return -1; } else {
bool isLast = false; unsigned int i = 0; do {
lastIndex = src.find(s, i);
if (lastIndex != string::npos) { i = lastIndex + 1;
if (i == src.size()) { isLast = true;
} } else { isLast = true;
} } while (!isLast);
} return lastIndex;
}

My problem is: execution steps into an if with a false condition! Check the values of i and src.size() at the right panel. How could be possible for the program to run the highlighted statement? The if condition above is false! [URL]. I could use char arrays, for example, but this kind of false validation has happened to me more than once, I'm using G++ 4.5 with these flags: -O0 -g -Wall -c
