filenames

My team has been mandated to use a specific coding standard, and part of that standard is to use .cc as the suffix for C class implementation files (for sake of argument, it could have been .cxx, .c++, or any number of other suffixes which are not .cpp). We're using the Eclipse CDT (C/C++ Development Toolkit) for development, however in the "New C++ Class" dialog, when you type in a class name as Classname, for example, it automatically names your Source file as Classname.cpp. Sure, I could uncheck the "use default" checkbox and repair the suffix, but that's a few extra steps, and a lot to ask

I want to use GNUMake to run a rule-based makefile which builds a set of C files in a directory structure (on a Windows file system). The root directory, some sub-directories and some files contain spaces. Example file: "C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\Test Dir\Build Me.c" GNUMake doesn't really work when the file paths contain spaces. I've read about the possible ways of working around this issue (removing the spaces from my filenames, using the 8.3 format, substituting spaces with ? or \\ etc.) but none of them are perfect (or are they?) Is there a silver bullet that will

I am using the following batch file to make a zip file for each xml in a folder: FOR %%f in ("C:\files\*.xml") DO 7za.exe a C:\files\zips\%%~nf.zip (%%f) However if the file name has a space in it ( test plop.xml ) then the batch file does not work. It seems to split the name and thinks it is 2 files. How to modify the batch file so that it properly handles file names with spaces? Try placing quotes around the output file name. Change FOR %%f in ("C:\files*.xml") DO 7za.exe a C:\files\zips\%%~nf.zip (%%f) to: FOR %%f in ("C:\files*.xml") DO 7za.exe a "C:\files\zips\%%~nf.zip" (%%f) May also be

What is the equivalent to PathCanonicalize in C#? Use: I need to take a good guess whether two file paths refer to the same file (without disk access). My typical approach has been throwing it through a few filters like MakeAbsolute and PathCanonicalize, and then do a case-insensitive comparison. quick and dirty: In the past I have created a FileInfo object from the path string and then used the FullName property. This removes all of the ..\'s and the .\'s. Of course you could interop: [DllImport("shlwapi", EntryPoint="PathCanonicalize")] private static extern bool PathCanonicalize(

I am struggling creating a file that contains non-ascii characters. The following script works fine, if it is called with 0 as parameter but dies when called with 1 . The error message is open: Invalid argument at C:\temp\filename.pl line 15. The script is started within cmd.exe . I expect it to write a file whose name is either (depending on the paramter) äöü.txt or äöü☺.txt . But I fail to create the filename containing a smiley. use warnings; use strict; use Encode 'encode'; # Text is stored in utf8 within *this* file. use utf8; my $with_smiley = $ARGV[0]; my $filename = 'äöü' . ($with

I have one BIG file (>10000 lines of data) and I want write out a separate file by ID. I have 50 unique ID names and I want a separate text file for each one. Here's what Ive got so far, and I keep getting errors. My ID is actually character string which I would prefer if I can name each file after that character string it would be best. for (i in 1:car$ID) { a <- data.frame(car[,i]) carib <- car1[,(c("x","y","time","sd"))] myfile <- gsub("( )", "", paste("C:/bridge", carib, "_", i, ".txt")) write.table(a, file=myfile, sep="", row.names=F, col.names=T quote=FALSE, append=FALSE) } One approach
