I am writing a client program and server program. On the server program, in order to write the result back to the client, I have to convert the string to const char* to put it in a const void* variable to use the write() function. The string itself is outputting the correct result when I checked, but when I use the c_str() function on the string, it is only outputting up until the first variable in the string. I am providing some code for reference (not sure if this is making any sense).
I have already tried all sorts of different ways to adjust the string, but nothing has worked yet.
Here are how the variables have been declared:
string final;
const void * fnlPrice;
carTable* table = new carTable[fileLength];
Here is the struct for the table:
struct carTable
{
string mm; // make and model
string hPrice; // high price
string lPrice; // low price
};
Here is a snipped of the code with the issue, starting with updating the string variable, final, with text as well as the resulting string variables:
final = "The high price for that car is $" + table[a].hPrice + "\nThe low
price for that car is $" + table[a].lPrice;;
if(found = true)
{
fnlPrice = final.c_str();
n = write(newsockfd,fnlPrice, 200);
if (n < 0)
{
error("ERROR writing to socket");
}
}
else
{
n = write(newsockfd, "That make and model is not in
the database. \n", 100);
if (n < 0)
{
error("ERROR writing to socket");
}
}
Unfortunately your code does not make any sense. And that may be your major problem. You should rewrite you code end eliminate the bugs.
(_write(1,fnlPrice,final.size());
1 is equal to std::cout
n = _write(newsockfd, final.c_str(), final.size());
directly If you want a detailed answer here on SO then you need to post your compiled code. I have rewritten your function and tested it. It works for me and prints the complete string. So, there is a bug in an other part of your code that we cannot not see.
