I have a file called "vendor.dat" that contains two lines in ASCII. The first line is a "trigger" and the second line is a "URL."

Basically, it contains this:

Code: Select all

pocketgear
http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=17928


In my program, it has three logos, and it will display the logo corresponding to the vendor based in the vendor.dat file, and activate the URL upon clicking on it.

Code: Select all

FILE *arq = fopen("vendor.dat", "r");

strcpy(vendorname,"pocketgear");
strcpy(vendorurl,"http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=17928&associateid=326");

if(arq)
{
    fgets(vendorname, 255, arq);
    fgets(vendorurl, 255, arq);
}

fclose(arq);

if (strcmp(vendorname,"handango")>0) ChangeAnimation("vendor","handango",FORWARD);
if (strcmp(vendorname,"pdatopsoft")>0) ChangeAnimation("vendor","pdatopsoft",FORWARD);
if (strcmp(vendorname,"pocketgear")>0) ChangeAnimation("vendor","pocketgear",FORWARD);


This works in Windows, but the PocketPC always defaults to the middle one, regardless of setting. Why is that?

Try this:

Code: Select all

FILE *arq = fopen("vendor.dat", "r");

if(arq)
{
    fgets(vendorname, 255, arq);
    fgets(vendorurl, 255, arq);
    fclose(arq);
}



if (strcmp(vendorname,"handango")==0) ChangeAnimation("vendor","handango",FORWARD);
if (strcmp(vendorname,"pdatopsoft")==0) ChangeAnimation("vendor","pdatopsoft",FORWARD);
if (strcmp(vendorname,"pocketgear")==0) ChangeAnimation("vendor","pocketgear",FORWARD);


I tried it again with 1.3.0 and created test.textNumber to equal the strcmp result.

On the desktop, I get values such as -1 and 1, but on the PocketPC, I get weird results like 8 and 2816.

Looks like a bug.

Is not a bug. The strcmp definition is this:

int strcmp(const char * s1, const char * s2)

return < 0 if string1 less than string2
return 0 if string1 identical to string2
return > 0 if string1 greater than string2

So, you can't consider the absolute values, but your sign

The fgets will include the newline on returned string.
To remove the newline use:

vendorname[strlen(vendorname) - 1] = 0;
