The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Best way to read from stdin

Asked by maloriopolium in C++ Programming Language, SSH / Telnet Software

Tags: stdin, read, from, way, best

Hi,

I would like to know if there is a better method to read from stdin than the current one I have.

This is what I currently use:


But the problem is, some very long strings seems to get truncated from time to time and I don't receive the entire string being sent.
Can someone please help me identify what could be the problem?

A bit of background:
My program listens to input on stdin. It is called by Microsoft telnet server because MS telnet server is responsible for listening to incoming telnet connections. So everytime something is picked up by MS telnet server, MS telnet server then calls my program which receives the string as stdin. So either my code to read from stdin is not very well written, or could it be that there is a problem with MS telnet server passing me a truncated string?

I need help on this urgently.

Thanks very much.

string str = "";
CStdStringA bufs = "";
 
while(true)
{
         fflush(stdin);
 
	while(((ch = getchar()) != '\r'))
	{
 
		if(ch == '\n')
		{
			break;
		}
		else
		{
			bufs.append(1, (char) ch);
			i++;
		}
	}
         str = bufs;
         bufs = ""; //Reset the string to empty
 
          .....//Code to handle the str.....
