Help.
I am trying to use the file streaming functions to open a .pdb file that I
created using par.exe.
Here is the command line entry I used to create the .pdb file:
par c -a "stream" filname.pdb name type cid filename
For the name I just used a four letter acronym for the type of file it is
For the type I used "DATA"
I made the cid the same as the cid for my application
When I call FileOpen I get err = 0x1604 which I believe means
FileErrNotFound.
What am I doing wrong? The path and filename I pass to FileOpen are correct
and the .pdb file exists.
Any suggestions?
I am working with existing c code from my company in which the file I need
to open is of a company specific type so I created a .pdb file out of it and
then wrote my own function to handle the filename change as well as the mode
specifications that our code already handles.
I call FileOpen in a function where I have passed in a path and filename
pointing to the file I want to open and the mode to open it in.
Let me provide a snippet of my code below:
#define PALM_FILE_EXT ".pdb"
FILE *myfopen(const char *pName, const char *pFlags)
{
UInt32 mode;
Err err = errNone;
char *pdbName;
if (*pFlags == 'r')
{
mode = fileModeReadOnly;
}
else if (*pFlags == 'w')
{
mode = fileModeReadWrite;
}
else if (*pFlags == 'a')
{
mode = fileModeAppend;
}
//here I convert the name to filename_extension.pdb
FNXA_STRCPY(pdbName, pName);
AddUnderscore(pdbName);
FNXA_STRCAT(pdbName, PALM_FILE_EXT );
return (FILE *)FileOpen(0,pdbName,0,0,mode,&err);
}
