Cool !!! I was in Italy in 1999 for 2 weeks, beautiful place. I think I just misspelled the name. I have another big problem now, maybe you could help me which I would really appreciate.
I need to load a comma delimited file to use in my program so I'm calling a function on my CVI DLL that loads the file and parses it, the problem is that when I call the function TestStand crashes and the problem seems to be the size of the arrays (due to stack size I think) because if I lower the arrays size and file size it works fine, the file is around 800Kbytes in size. Here is the function I wrote to do this:
int Load_Param_File (char *fileName)
{
int paramFile;
int no_args;
int i,j;
int error;
char *ptr;
//char *tmpstr;
//char *arg;
char tmpstr[PARAM_FILESIZE];
char arg[MAX_PARAM_ROWS+1][4000];
//arg = (char*)malloc((MAX_PARAM_ROWS+1)*4000*sizeof(char));
//tmpstr = (char*)malloc(PARAM_FILESIZE*sizeof(char));
/* Open file for read only purposes */
paramFile = OpenFile (fileName, VAL_READ_ONLY, VAL_OPEN_AS_IS, VAL_ASCII);
/* read file and place contents into tmpstr */
error = ReadFile (paramFile, tmpstr, PARAM_FILESIZE);
/* Close file */
CloseFile (paramFile);
if (error > 0) {
/* Parse String */
ptr = strtok(tmpstr, "\n"); // separate rows first
for (i=0;i<=MAX_PARAM_ROWS && (ptr != NULL); i++) {
strcpy(arg[i],ptr);
ptr = strtok(NULL, "\n");
}
/* Parse into table */
for (i=0;i<=MAX_PARAM_ROWS; i++) {
ptr = strtok(arg[i],","); // separate columns
for (j=0;j<=MAX_PARAM_COLS && (ptr != NULL); j++) {
strcpy(parameters[i][j],ptr);
ptr = strtok(NULL, ",");
}
}
}
return error;
}
The array parameters is a global in my DLL. The code that is commented is another thing I tried, I didn't get the error but I don't get any data in the parameters array after it runs.
I really appreciate your help and thanks in advance.
