    Writing null characters to a file

    Turns out my pointers were messed up: cStr = strncat(cStr, "\0", 1); // doesn't do anything replaced with: *(cStr + size) = '\0'; // size is hardcoded for now and changed fwrite to fwrite( cStr, size, 1, stream );

    Writing null characters to a file

    Regarding the null terminating character being embedded within a source/custom resource (input string) , I'm having some difficulty getting fwrite to continue past embedded 0x00 values in my data...

    Simple regex - finding a substring

    Solved my problem.. I was searching for a string in an array of strings so the following was needed: foreach $string (@output) { print "checking for '$success' in: $string"; if ($string =~ /$success/s) { print "ISDN connection to $ip ($desc) failed\n"; } }

    Simple regex - finding a substring

    Still doesn't work. Here's the revised code: while ( <INFILE> ) { # Process non-commentary lines only. if ( ! /^#/ ) { ++$i; chomp; ( $ip, $desc, $phn, $rtrname ) = split( ':' ); print "\nProbing: $ip; Desc: $desc\n"; @output =...

    Simple regex - finding a substring

    Anyone know why this regular expression search isn't working properly? I'm using use Net::Telnet::Cisco; to populate the @output variable if that matters.. #my $success = "Success rate is 0 percent"; my $success = "Success"; @output = $session->cmd(String => join (' ', 'ping', $ip)...

    Creating appointments via c++

    Is there any way to programatically create an appointment in Exch 5.5 via c++? I have found tons of code/samples for doing this in Exchange 2000/2003, but nothing for 5.5. For example, in 2000 I am told to import the following type libraries in my code: #import "C:\Program Files\Common...

    GPMgmt.GPM (Group policy) and local computer policy

    Is it possible to use GPMgmt.GPM to make changes to the local computer policy or is this object limited to domain level policies? If it is possible to modify local policy using this method, does anyone have sample code? Here's sample code of what I've found. As you can see it explicitly...

    Casting LPCWSTR to WCHAR

    It has been a few years since I've worked with C++, so I'm having some difficulty with these casts. The goal of this code is to pass lpPassword into CreateProcessWithLogonW successfully. The CreateProcessWithLogonW function takes LPCWSTR lpPassword as a parameter. However, I'm dealing with...
