Read each of the lines from the "old" file into the "new" file up to the line that needs to be changed. Write the line into the "new" file. Read the remaining lines from the "old" file into the "new" file. Close both files. Delete the "old" file. Rename the "new" file. Make sense? "Money talks.

Can you close the file prior to copying it? "Money talks. When my money starts to talk, I get a bill to shut it up." - Frank "Judge not by the eye but by the heart." - Native American Proverb

u can use Sql DMO for backing up sql server db. its a time consuming process which varies depends on the size of the db to be copied. so its better to make the backup once and ync the backup with changes in the actual db in realtime. cheers ..Milton KB

Ok. Thanks a lot. Although I feel a little bit disapointed now, I got your point.

Use catsets.cpp/h provided my microsoft. Also There are some extension classes available in Code project it self. "http://www.codeproject.com/database/myrecordset.asp"

Did you read this article from your last COM-related post? It goes into detail on how threads can be used for reading (and writing). Now your main UI thread can remain responsive. "Money talks. When my money starts to talk, I get a bill to shut it up." - Frank "Judge not by the eye but by the heart." - Native American Proverb

You can also poll the COM port; this isn't necessarily the nicest design, but it may work. See the function SetCommTimeouts to set read timeouts. In fact, you may want to do this in either case; your thread can block reading the port and wake up every 1s to check if it is time to quit the application. Save yourself a bunch of hassle and do a bit of reading about thread safety issues now before you do a bunch of work. earl

Just reverse the algorithm, being sure not to walk past the end of the string.    Peace! -=- James If you think it costs a lot to do it right, just wait until you find out how much it costs to do it wrong!

If you know that the every line you receive ends in CR/LF (or LF/CR), you could just replace the line: szBuffer[dwBytesRead] = '\0'; with the following: szBuffer[dwBytesRead-2] = '\0'; It is probably better to check, so I would do: if (dwBytesRead > 0) // Your existing code { // strip CR/LF if it exists if (dwBytesRead > 1 && (szBuffer[dwBytesRead-2] == 0x0d || szBuffer[dwBytesRead-2] == 0x0a) && && (szBuffer[dwBytesRead-1] == 0x0a || szBuffer[dwBytesRead-1] == 0x0d)) { szBuffer[dwBytesRead-2] = '\0'; } else szBuffer[dwBytesRead] = '\0';

So what is the value of szBuffer[0] when the loop terminates? "Money talks. When my money starts to talk, I get a bill to shut it up." - Frank "Judge not by the eye but by the heart." - Native American Proverb

I think you could get more help if you were questioning your design instead of asking for a direct solution. Anyway, concerning your original question, you can make a program slower by calling ::Sleep(milliseconds). If you wait for 10ms or 20ms you can check the port again to see if you received more data. To wait 3 seconds you would call ::Sleep(3000). Under Windows 95/98/Me the smallest time that actually has a wait effect is 50ms, on NT/2K/XP you can use 10ms as the smallest wait time. Anyway, it seems to me that a good design would be better than using ::Sleep() to solve a timing problem. I hope this helps, Rilhas -- modified at 18:10 Friday 21st July, 2006

First, if you expect people to read that much code, for the love of god format it. Use the pre tag below this box. Second, you already asked this question. David Crow gave you a good answer. Go read it. Third, you should be trying to figure out if the bug is in your reading code or your string conversion code. Hence David's question. earl
