wxAtoi

Post by computerquip »

I haven't really seen much documentation on the global function but I think its somewhat strange that it cannot use a wxChar. In anycase:

Code: Select all

error: invalid conversion from `wxChar' to `const wchar_t*'
How do I properly go about the conversion?

you are passing a char when it receives a char*. wxAtoi is nothing but a macro to the real atoi function, so thats all the documentation you need. And wxChar is a macro for char.

Hi,

wxAtoi is not really all that different than atoi other that it also supports unicode.

Not sure what your code looks like, but are you trying to pass a wxChar directly to it? It's expecting a pointer instead of a character. Maybe post the code where you're trying to use it.

Meant to give credit to the first guy who answered.

Code that calls it through a button event:

Code: Select all

wxString input = InputBox->GetValue();
OutputBox->SetValue( grid->Decode(&input) ); //grid = new MatrixGrid()
Decode function that takes the return value from encode. Never takes a value directly from the Encode function.

Code: Select all

wxString MatrixGrid::Decode(wxString* input)
{
    wxString output;

    for (unsigned int i = 0; i < input->Length(); i += 2)
    {
        wxMessageBox(input->GetChar(i+0), _("+0"));
        wxMessageBox(input->GetChar(i+1), _("+1"));
        output += GetCellValue( wxAtoi(input[i]), wxAtoi(input[i+1]) );
    }
    return output;
}
Keeps crashing on me. In theory it works and it has worked before!

The inverse function is:

Code: Select all

wxString MatrixGrid::Encode(wxString input)
{
    bool resetFor;
    wxString output;

    for ( unsigned int a = 0; a < input.Length(); ++a)
    {
        resetFor = false;
        for ( int i = 0; i < GetNumberRows(); ++i)
        {
            for ( int j = 0; j < GetNumberCols(); ++j)
            {
                if (input[a] == GetCellValue( i, j ))
                {
                    output << i << j;
                    resetFor = true;
                    break;
                }
            }
            if (resetFor == true)
            {
                break;
            }
        }
    }
    return output; //Change to a pointer. Strings are heavy when passing around directly.
    //Works great. Maybe a better way than three for loops though lol. 
}
What'ya think?
EDIT: class MatrixGrid : public wxGrid //MatrxGrid extends wxGrid

Hi,

From what I can see in your code, it looks like you're creating a string of indexes for the first match in your grid of each character in the input string.

First, I presume the grid is not greater than 10 characters...
You don't really need to use wxAtoi, in fact it will cause problems in the decode.
Presume string looks like: "210589" (for matches in postion 2,1 0,5 and 8,9. The first call to wxAtoi returns 210589, then next one returns 10589, etc.
I think all you need to do is:

Code: Select all

{
  wxMessageBox(input->GetChar(i+0), _("+0"));
  wxMessageBox(input->GetChar(i+1), _("+1"));
  int row = input->GetChar(i+0) - '0'; // you could check to make sure that GetChar(...) is between '0' and '9'...
  int col = input->GetChar(i+1) - '0';
  output += GetCellValue(row,col);
}
Hope that helps,
