I just wanted to know if let's say you have a file called tempfile.dat and it is being used by
dozens of parts of a script to transfer data, what happens if both scripts run at the same time and
use the tempfile? will it throw a text file is busy error or will it patiently wait until a script
is done using it before it uses it? Because if i send information to the tempfile, then close it,
then reopen it again to transfer back the information, I don't want the other script to start
using it in the middle of that sequence or the results will be catastrophic. Any ...

The PC-GPE ( PC GAMES PROGRAMMERS ENCYCLOPEDIA)as it currently stands is a collection of text files,
each covering a different aspect of programming games for the PC.Some files were obtained from the
net, others were grabbed off Usenet, quite a few were written for the PC-GPE. Every effort has been
made to contact the original authors of all public domain articles obtained via ftp. In some cases
the original authors were not able to be contacted. Seeing as these files were already available to
the public the liberty was taken to include them anyway. The files were not mo...

i'm trying to iterate through a file and copy its character by character into a new exe file so
i can later adapt this functionality into a program that i've already written in two or three
other languages. its just to dip my fingers back in C since i've gotten rusty from since the
last time i used to harrass this forum, lol. i seem to believe that once i use fopen in read mode
that it opens the file in binary mode but it still dosen't give me the results i want, watch a
small sample of the code please. Code: CODE int main(void) { int a; ...

I'm working on sending some certain data to a server. Part of the process in gathering this data
is done by using GetLocalTime() to get the current local time, this local time must then be
converted to a FILETIME structure. I'm trying to get this done properly in Python, however my
problem is that I do not know what my data will look like when the local time is converted to file
time. I don't have the necessary compiler on my PC to test the code (for reasons I'm not
going to waste time explaining, my main PC is temporarily unuseable and I'm using a mu...

Hello All, I am developing a utility for zipping and unzipping a file using the Huffman Algorithm.
The code is implemented using 'C' language. I have finished coding for generating the
appropriate bit code values for each of the symbols present in file and my next objective is to
store the bit code values in a seperate file. As you all are aware, the smallest data type that is
supported by C is the character which is 1 byte. Please can anybody suggest me on how to store the
bit values generated as codes in a file? Thanks. ...

Anytime I open a file and close it without changes, weird characters show up. Here is the code:
PHP Code: inFile = fopen("serefs.dat","rb"); outFile = fopen("tempfile.dat","wb"); while
(!feof(inFile)) { char line ; char timeline ; fgets(line,512,inFile);
strncpy(timeline, line, 10); timeline = '\0'; int filetime;
filetime = atoi(timeline); if(filetime > (realtime - 86400)) {
fputs(line,outFile); } } fclose(inFile); fclose(outFile); //Put tempfile in buffe...
