Wierd Behaviour...

[jcarr]

Im writing a program and I keep getting wierd output...
What the following does is takes a filepath opened cuts out the path, leaving only the filename then adds a tab with that as a caption. The problem is the routine that cuts off the path. Im scratching my head trying to figure it out. Any help is appreciated.

I have noticed though it works fine on filenames WITHOUT spaces. Then one with a space does work but the next one after will have extra characters added to the front 
in main.c:

Code: [Select]

...
#include "JSTRING.h"
#define INFIN 99999
...
int openfile(file[]){
...
// tabs
char fname[INFIN];
strcpy(fname, "");

j_rempath(temp, fname);

addTab(fname); // this line is irrelevant...
...
}
...
in JSTRING.h:

Code: [Select]

#define J_INFIN 99999
...
// removes the path of a filepath
void j_rempath(char* fullpath, char* buff){
char temp[J_INFIN];
j_getpath(fullpath, temp);
int lenfull = strlen(fullpath);
int lenpath = strlen(temp);
int lenfile = lenfull - lenpath;
strcpy(buff, "");

j_right(fullpath, buff, lenfile);

strcpy(fullpath, "");
lenfile = 0;
lenpath = 0;
lenfull = 0;
}
...
// returns the n characters from the right of a string
void j_right(char* in, char* buff, int n)
{
_strrev(in);
strcpy(buff, "");
strncpy(buff, in, n);
_strrev(buff);
}
...
Note that ... represents unused code in this section of work.

thanks

Are you just trying to separate the filename? If so the following will do it. You did not include the function j_getpath so could not run your code.

The following might be improved with some error checks.

Code: [Select]

char * j_rempath(char * fullpath)
{
char * p = fullpath + strlen(fullpath);
while(*p != '\\')
{
p--;
}
return(++p);
}

int main(void)
{
char path[] = "C:\\WINDOWS\\Cursors\\gnwse.dat";
char buf[256];
strcpy(buf, j_rempath(path));
printf("%s\n", buf);
return 0;
}

Ah yeah sorry I forgot to include j_getpath(), my bad

Thanks I will try the new method

ok thanks

That works perfectly.
Now what I cant seem to get to work is:

Code: [Select]

case WM_NOTIFY:
switch (LOWORD(wParam)) {
// TAB CONTROL NOTIFICATIONS
case TCN_SELCHANGE: {
MessageBoxA(0, "Changed!!", "- Notice -", MB_OK);
int iTab = TabCtrl_GetCurSel(hTab);
//displayNewText(iTab);
}
break;
}
break;The resource I got it from does exactly that... but it doesnt work

thanks

EDIT:

Here is some code that I just checked.

Code: [Select]

case WM_NOTIFY:
{
    NMHDR *lpnmhdr = (LPNMHDR)lParam;
    HWND hTab = GetDlgItem(hwndDlg, TAB_CONTROL_1);
    switch (lpnmhdr->code)
    {
        case TCN_SELCHANGE:
        {
            char s[90];
            sprintf(s, "Which Tab -- %d", TabCtrl_GetCurSel(hTab));
            SetWindowText(hwndDlg, s);
        }
        break;
    }
    break;
}

Thanks heaps it works perfectly 

However i don't know why that one works and mine doesnt 

Ah well...

WM_NOTIFY
    idCtrl = (int) wParam;
    pnmh = (LPNMHDR) lParam;
