Hi all, I'm writing a language file parsing utility and have a hit a brick wall using the new operator. I have a struct for keywords as follows : struct KEYWORDBIN { INT keywordindex; CHAR name[MAX_STR_SIZE]; BOOL iscasesensitive; COLOUR colour...

I'm writing a data parsing utility and am coming unstuck (spectacularly) when I try to parse a keyword set. I have a struct as follows for a keyword group : // Keyword Bin : struct KEYWORDBIN { INT keywordindex; CHAR name[MAX_STR_SIZE]; BOOL iscasesensitive; COLOUR colour...

This may be common knowledge but I only came across it the other day. The fact that sprintf, etc.. return the number of bytes can be fairly useful particularly in things like string parsing to keep track of your position. For example.. VOID MYCLASS::stringdecode (INT *b) { CHAR *iptr,*optr...

Hi all, I am writing a utility app which has a parent window and a child editbox window. For educational purposes I have written the whole thing from ground up. I have something like : class myparentclass { public: blah blah.... private: class EDITBOX *myeditbox; blah...
