I know that there are rules for using underscores in identifiers in C/C++ . Are there any rules for using them in source code filenames? For instance, are there any restrictions against beginning or ending a filename with an underscore? Or having an underscore as the last character before the .c or .h extension? Double underscores? References are appreciated, if there are any. If the source files are subject for preprocessor #include directives, then the C and C++ standards specify a minimum set of requirements on the filename. The C standard says: 6.10.2 Source file inclusion ... The

I got the following code to get path/filename by handle: [DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Auto, SetLastError = true)] private static extern int GetWindowThreadProcessId(IntPtr handle, out uint processId); public static string GetProcessPath(IntPtr hwnd) { uint pid = 0; GetWindowThreadProcessId(hwnd, out pid); Process proc = Process.GetProcessById((int)pid); return proc.MainModule.FileName.ToString(); } it works perfect in 32 bit but I get error in 64bit > "Only part of the ReadProcessMemory or WriteProcessMemory request was completed." the project is compiled as x86 (platform target

I am using a form to upload files to the google app engine and store them in the datastore. l would also like to store the original file name and extension for presentation purposes. Is there a way of retrieving this data from the post sever side or can it only be gathered client side and sent as separate fields (e.g. http://www.tinyurl.com/5jybfq )? Many thanks.

So I am working with a XLTM file, and I want the user to make sure they save as XLSM. When they click "Save," this works fine, but I find when they click "Save As," the file is saved as "*.xlsm.xlsm". I am a little lost with how to make sure that the user saves as XLSM, while keeping the file name as "filename.xlsm" and not "filename.xlsm.xlsm". 'Action makes sure the user saves as XLSM file type.

I am a python beginner. I am using urllib2 to download files. When I download a file, I specify a filename to with which to save the downloaded file on my hard drive. However, if I download the file using my browser, a default filename is automatically provided. Here is a simplified version of my code: def downloadmp3(url): webFile = urllib2.urlopen(url) filename = 'temp.zip' localFile = open(filename, 'w') localFile.write(webFile.read()) The file downloads just fine, but if I type the string stored in the variable "url" into my browser, there is a default filename given to the file when I

I am trying to copy only certain files from one folder to another. The filenames are in a attribute table of a shapefile. I am successful upto writing the filenames into a .csv file and list the column containing the list of the filenames to be transferred. I am stuck after that on how to read those filenames to copy them to another folder. I have read about using Shutil.copy/move but not sure how to use it. Any help is appreciated. Below is my script: import arcpy import csv import os import sys import os.path import shutil from collections import defaultdict fc = 'C:\\work_Data\\Export

I get an IOError shown below when trying to open a new file using "open (fname, 'w+')". The complete error message is below. The file does not exist, but I verified using "os.access(dir_name, os.W_OK)" and "os.path.exists (dir_name)" that the parent directory for the file does exist. I am wondering if the file name is just too long for Windows, or if I am doing something wrong. Any tips would be appreciated. Thank you very much.
