• c++ generate a good random seed for psudo random number generators

  - by posop

  I am trying to generate a good random seed for a psudo-random number generator. I thought I'd get the expert's opinions. let me know if this is a bad way of doing it or if there are much better ways. #include <iostream> #include <cstdlib> #include <fstream> #include <ctime> unsigned int good_seed() { unsigned int random_seed, random_seed_a, random_seed_b; std::ifstream file ("/dev/random", std::ios::binary); if (file.is_open()) { char * memblock; int size = sizeof(int); memblock = new char [size]; file.read (memblock, size); file.close(); random_seed_a = int(memblock); delete[] memblock; }// end if else { random_seed_a = 0; } random_seed_b = std::time(0); random_seed = random_seed_a xor random_seed_b; return random_seed; } // end good_seed()

• unformatted input to a std::string instead of c-string from binary file.

  - by posop

  ok i have this program working using c-strings. I am wondering if it is possible to read in blocks of unformatted text to a std::string? I toyed arround with if >> but this reads in line by line. I've been breaking my code and banging my head against the wall trying to use std::string, so I thought it was time to enlist the experts. Here's a working program you need to supply a file "a.txt" with some content to make it run. i tried to fool around with: in.read (const_cast<char *>(memblock.c_str()), read_size); but it was acting odd. I had to do std::cout << memblock.c_str() to get it to print. and memblock.clear() did not clear out the string. anyway, if you can think of a way to use STL I would greatly appreciate it. Here's my program using c-strings // What this program does now: copies a file to a new location byte by byte // What this program is going to do: get small blocks of a file and encrypt them #include <fstream> #include <iostream> #include <string> int main (int argc, char * argv[]) { int read_size = 16; int infile_size; std::ifstream in; std::ofstream out; char * memblock; int completed = 0; memblock = new char [read_size]; in.open ("a.txt", std::ios::in | std::ios::binary | std::ios::ate); if (in.is_open()) infile_size = in.tellg(); out.open("b.txt", std::ios::out | std::ios::trunc | std::ios::binary); in.seekg (0, std::ios::beg);// get to beginning of file while(!in.eof()) { completed = completed + read_size; if(completed < infile_size) { in.read (memblock, read_size); out.write (memblock, read_size); } // end if else // last run { delete[] memblock; memblock = new char [infile_size % read_size]; in.read (memblock, infile_size % read_size + 1); out.write (memblock, infile_size % read_size ); } // end else } // end while } // main if you see anything that would make this code better please feel free to let me know.

• howto: vimrc change part of file path and execute script

  - by posop

  I would like to set up a command to execute launch the php script i am editing. :echo expand('%:p:h') yields: C:\xampp\htdocs\my my localhost path is C:\xampp\htdocs i would like to cut the contents of local host off my current directory and append a file separator so i would have: g:var = \my\ so the end goal would be to have something like this in my .vimrc (need help with the concatenate) map <F5> :w<CR>:silent execute '!"c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"' "localhost . $var . %"<CR> is this possible? or is there another way to do this?
