My question is nearly identical to this question, except that the linked question deals with char*, whereas I'm using std::string in my code. Like the linked question, I'm also using C# as my target language.
I have a class written in C++:
class MyClass
{
public:
const std::string get_value() const; // returns utf8-string
void set_value(const std::string &value); // sets utf8-string
private:
// ...
};
And this get's wrapped by SWIG in C# as follows:
public class MyClass
{
public string get_value();
public void set_value(string value);
}
SWIG does everything for me, except that it doesn't make an utf8 to utf16 string conversion during the calls to MyClass. My strings come through fine if they are representable in ASCII, but if I try passing a string with non-ascii characters in a round-trip through "set_value" and "get_value", I end up with unintelligible characters.
How can I make SWIG wrap UTF-8 encoded C++ strings in C#? n.b. I'm using std::string, not std::wstring, and not char*.
There's a partial solution on the SWIG sourceforge site, but it deals with char* not std::string, and it uses a (configurable) fixed length buffer.
With the help (read: genius!) of David Jeske in the linked Code Project article, I have finally been able to answer this question.
You'll need this class (from David Jeske's code) in your C# library.
public class UTF8Marshaler : ICustomMarshaler {
static UTF8Marshaler static_instance;
public IntPtr MarshalManagedToNative(object managedObj) {
if (managedObj == null)
return IntPtr.Zero;
if (!(managedObj is string))
throw new MarshalDirectiveException(
"UTF8Marshaler must be used on a string.");
// not null terminated
byte[] strbuf = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes((string)managedObj);
IntPtr buffer = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(strbuf.Length + 1);
Marshal.Copy(strbuf, 0, buffer, strbuf.Length);
// write the terminating null
Marshal.WriteByte(buffer + strbuf.Length, 0);
return buffer;
}
public unsafe object MarshalNativeToManaged(IntPtr pNativeData) {
byte* walk = (byte*)pNativeData;
// find the end of the string
while (*walk != 0) {
walk++;
}
int length = (int)(walk - (byte*)pNativeData);
// should not be null terminated
byte[] strbuf = new byte[length];
// skip the trailing null
Marshal.Copy((IntPtr)pNativeData, strbuf, 0, length);
string data = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(strbuf);
return data;
}
public void CleanUpNativeData(IntPtr pNativeData) {
Marshal.FreeHGlobal(pNativeData);
}
public void CleanUpManagedData(object managedObj) {
}
public int GetNativeDataSize() {
return -1;
}
public static ICustomMarshaler GetInstance(string cookie) {
if (static_instance == null) {
return static_instance = new UTF8Marshaler();
}
return static_instance;
}
}
Then, in Swig's "std_string.i", on line 24 replace this line:
%typemap(imtype) string "string"
with this line:
%typemap(imtype, inattributes="[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.CustomMarshaler, MarshalTypeRef = typeof(UTF8Marshaler))]", outattributes="[return: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.CustomMarshaler, MarshalTypeRef = typeof(UTF8Marshaler))]") string "string"
and on line 61, replace this line:
%typemap(imtype) const string & "string"
with this line:
%typemap(imtype, inattributes="[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.CustomMarshaler, MarshalTypeRef = typeof(UTF8Marshaler))]", outattributes="[return: MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.CustomMarshaler, MarshalTypeRef = typeof(UTF8Marshaler))]") string & "string"
Lo and behold, everything works. Read the linked article for a good understanding of how this works.
I have a input string and need to run through it and see if it matches certain words. I have multiple string arrays but not sure whats an efficient way to check the string agianst all the arrays.
String Arrays:
string checkPlayType(string printDescription)
{
const string DeepPassRight[3] = {"deep" , "pass" , "right"};
const string DeepPassLeft[3] = {"deep" , "pass" , "left"};
const string DeepPassMiddle[3] = {"deep" , "pass" , "middle"};
const string ShortPassRight[3] = {"short" , "pass" , "right"};
const string ShortPassLeft[3] = {"short" , "pass" , "left"};
const string ShortPassMiddle[3] = {"short" , "pass" , "middle"};
//Must contain right but not pass
const string RunRight = "right";
//Must contain right but not pass
const string RunLeft = "left";
//Must contain middle but not pass
const string RunMiddle = "middle";
const string FieldGoalAttempt[2] = {"field" , "goal" };
const string Punt = "punt";
}
Sample Input: (13:55) (Shotgun) P.Manning pass incomplete short right to M.Harrison.
Assuming this is our only input...
Sample Output:
Deep Pass Right: 0%
Deep Pass Left: 0%
Deep Pass Middle: 0%
Short Pass Right: 100%
Shor Pass Left:0%
...
..
..
you may want something similar to:
void checkPlayType(const std::vector<std::string>& input)
{
std::set<std::string> s;
for (const auto& word : input) {
s.insert(word);
}
const bool deep_present = s.count("deep");
const bool pass_present = s.count("pass");
const bool right_present = s.count("right");
const bool left_present = s.count("left");
// ...
if (deep_present && pass_present && right_present) { /* increase DeepPassRight counter */}
if (deep_present && pass_present && left_present) { /* increase DeepPassLeft counter */}
// ...
}
Try regular expressions:
if found "pass" then
if regexp "(deep|short).*(left|right|middle)"
Hooray!
else if regexp "(left|right|middle).*(deep|short)"
Hooray!
else
Aye, Caramba!
else
Aye, Caramba!
You can go over your arrays and search for the words are stored in the array within the input string. Use std functions for better performance. For example:
const string DeepPassRight[3] = {"deep" , "pass" , "right"};
int i = 0;
for(;i<3;i++)
{
string s = " ";
s.append(DeepPassRight[i]);
s.append(" ");
std::size_t found = printDescription.find(s);
if (found ==std::string::npos)
break;
}
if(i == 3)
// printDescription contains all DeepPassRight's members!
if(i== 2)
// just two words were found
I have in a log file some lines like this:
11-test.domain1.com Logged ...
37-user1.users.domain2.org Logged ...
48-me.server.domain3.net Logged ...
How can I extract each domain without the subdomains? Something between "-" and "Logged".
I have the following code in c++ (linux) but it doesn't extract well. Some function which is returning the extracted string would be great if you have some example of course.
regex_t preg;
regmatch_t mtch[1];
size_t rm, nmatch;
char tempstr[1024] = "";
int start;
rm=regcomp(&preg, "-[^<]+Logged", REG_EXTENDED);
nmatch = 1;
while(regexec(&preg, buffer+start, nmatch, mtch, 0)==0) /* Found a match */
{
strncpy(host, buffer+start+mtch[0].rm_so+3, mtch[0].rm_eo-mtch[0].rm_so-7);
printf("%s\n", tempstr);
start +=mtch[0].rm_eo;
memset(host, '\0', strlen(host));
}
regfree(&preg);
Thank you!
P.S. no, I cannot use perl for this because this part is inside of a larger c program which was made by someone else.
EDIT:
I replace the code with this one:
const char *p1 = strstr(buffer, "-")+1;
const char *p2 = strstr(p1, " Logged");
size_t len = p2-p1;
char *res = (char*)malloc(sizeof(char)*(len+1));
strncpy(res, p1, len);
res[len] = '\0';
which is extracting very good the whole domain including subdomains.
How can I extract just the domain.com or domain.net from abc.def.domain.com ?
is strtok a good option and how can I calculate which is the last dot ?
#include <vector>
#include <string>
#include <boost/regex.hpp>
int main()
{
boost::regex re(".+-(?<domain>.+)\\s*Logged");
std::string examples[] =
{
"11-test.domain1.com Logged ...",
"37-user1.users.domain2.org Logged ..."
};
std::vector<std::string> vec(examples, examples + sizeof(examples) / sizeof(*examples));
std::for_each(vec.begin(), vec.end(), [&re](const std::string& s)
{
boost::smatch match;
if (boost::regex_search(s, match, re))
{
std::cout << match["domain"] << std::endl;
}
});
}
http://liveworkspace.org/code/1983494e6e9e884b7e539690ebf98eb5
something like this with boost::regex. Don't know about pcre.
Is the in a standard format?
it appears so, is there a split function?
Edit:
Here is some logic.
Iterate through each domain to be parsed
Find a function to locate the index of the first string "-"
Next find the index of the second string minus the first string "Logged"
Now you have the full domain.
Once you have the full domain "Split" the domain into your object of choice (I used an array)
now that you have the array broken apart locate the index of the value you wish to reassemble (concatenate) to capture only the domain.
NOTE Written in C#
Main method which defines the first value and the second value
`static void Main(string[] args)
{
string firstValue ="-";
string secondValue = "Logged";
List domains = new List { "11-test.domain1.com Logged", "37-user1.users.domain2.org Logged","48-me.server.domain3.net Logged"};
foreach (string dns in domains)
{
Debug.WriteLine(Utility.GetStringBetweenFirstAndSecond(dns, firstValue, secondValue));
}
}
`
Method to parse the string:
`public string GetStringBetweenFirstAndSecond(string str, string firstStringToFind, string secondStringToFind)
{
string domain = string.Empty;
if(string.IsNullOrEmpty(str))
{
//throw an exception, return gracefully, whatever you determine
}
else
{
//This can all be done in one line, but I broke it apart so it can be better understood.
//returns the first occurrance.
//int start = str.IndexOf(firstStringToFind) + 1;
//int end = str.IndexOf(secondStringToFind);
//domain = str.Substring(start, end - start);
//i.e. Definitely not quite as legible, but doesn't create object unnecessarily
domain = str.Substring((str.IndexOf(firstStringToFind) + 1), str.IndexOf(secondStringToFind) - (str.IndexOf(firstStringToFind) + 1));
string[] dArray = domain.Split('.');
if (dArray.Length > 0)
{
if (dArray.Length > 2)
{
domain = string.Format("{0}.{1}", dArray[dArray.Length - 2], dArray[dArray.Length - 1]);
}
}
}
return domain;
}
`
Given a string "filename.conf", how to I verify the extension part?
I need a cross platform solution.
Is this too simple of a solution?
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
int main()
{
std::string fn = "filename.conf";
if(fn.substr(fn.find_last_of(".") + 1) == "conf") {
std::cout << "Yes..." << std::endl;
} else {
std::cout << "No..." << std::endl;
}
}
The best way is to not write any code that does it but call existing methods. In windows, the PathFindExtension method is probably the simplest.
So why would you not write your own?
Well, take the strrchr example, what happens when you use that method on the following string "c:\program files\AppleGate.Net\readme"? Is ".Net\readme" the extension? It is easy to write something that works for a few example cases, but can be much harder to write something that works for all cases.
With C++17 and its std::filesystem::path::extension (the library is the successor to boost::filesystem) you would make your statement more expressive than using e.g. std::string.
#include <iostream>
#include <filesystem> // C++17
namespace fs = std::filesystem;
int main()
{
fs::path filePath = "my/path/to/myFile.conf";
if (filePath.extension() == ".conf") // Heed the dot.
{
std::cout << filePath.stem() << " is a valid type."; // Output: "myFile is a valid type."
}
else
{
std::cout << filePath.filename() << " is an invalid type."; // Output: e.g. "myFile.cfg is an invalid type"
}
}
See also std::filesystem::path::stem, std::filesystem::path::filename.
You have to make sure you take care of file names with more then one dot.
example: c:\.directoryname\file.name.with.too.many.dots.ext would not be handled correctly by strchr or find.
My favorite would be the boost filesystem library that have an extension(path) function
Assuming you have access to STL:
std::string filename("filename.conf");
std::string::size_type idx;
idx = filename.rfind('.');
if(idx != std::string::npos)
{
std::string extension = filename.substr(idx+1);
}
else
{
// No extension found
}
Edit: This is a cross platform solution since you didn't mention the platform. If you're specifically on Windows, you'll want to leverage the Windows specific functions mentioned by others in the thread.
Someone else mentioned boost but I just wanted to add the actual code to do this:
#include <boost/filesystem.hpp>
using std::string;
string texture = foo->GetTextureFilename();
string file_extension = boost::filesystem::extension(texture);
cout << "attempting load texture named " << texture
<< " whose extensions seems to be "
<< file_extension << endl;
// Use JPEG or PNG loader function, or report invalid extension
actually the STL can do this without much code, I advise you learn a bit about the STL because it lets you do some fancy things, anyways this is what I use.
std::string GetFileExtension(const std::string& FileName)
{
if(FileName.find_last_of(".") != std::string::npos)
return FileName.substr(FileName.find_last_of(".")+1);
return "";
}
this solution will always return the extension even on strings like "this.a.b.c.d.e.s.mp3" if it cannot find the extension it will return "".
Actually, the easiest way is
char* ext;
ext = strrchr(filename,'.')
One thing to remember: if '.' doesn't exist in filename, ext will be NULL.
I've stumbled onto this question today myself, even though I already had a working code I figured out that it wouldn't work in some cases.
While some people already suggested using some external libraries, I prefer to write my own code for learning purposes.
Some answers included the method I was using in the first place (looking for the last "."), but I remembered that on linux hidden files/folders start with ".".
So if file file is hidden and has no extension, the whole file name would be taken for extension.
To avoid that I wrote this piece of code:
bool getFileExtension(const char * dir_separator, const std::string & file, std::string & ext)
{
std::size_t ext_pos = file.rfind(".");
std::size_t dir_pos = file.rfind(dir_separator);
if(ext_pos>dir_pos+1)
{
ext.append(file.begin()+ext_pos,file.end());
return true;
}
return false;
}
I haven't tested this fully, but I think that it should work.
I'd go with boost::filesystem::extension (std::filesystem::path::extension with C++17) but if you cannot use Boost and you just have to verify the extension, a simple solution is:
bool ends_with(const std::string &filename, const std::string &ext)
{
return ext.length() <= filename.length() &&
std::equal(ext.rbegin(), ext.rend(), filename.rbegin());
}
if (ends_with(filename, ".conf"))
{ /* ... */ }
Using std::string's find/rfind solves THIS problem, but if you work a lot with paths then you should look at boost::filesystem::path since it will make your code much cleaner than fiddling with raw string indexes/iterators.
I suggest boost since it's a high quality, well tested, (open source and commercially) free and fully portable library.
For char array-type strings you can use this:
#include <ctype.h>
#include <string.h>
int main()
{
char filename[] = "apples.bmp";
char extension[] = ".jpeg";
if(compare_extension(filename, extension) == true)
{
// .....
} else {
// .....
}
return 0;
}
bool compare_extension(char *filename, char *extension)
{
/* Sanity checks */
if(filename == NULL || extension == NULL)
return false;
if(strlen(filename) == 0 || strlen(extension) == 0)
return false;
if(strchr(filename, '.') == NULL || strchr(extension, '.') == NULL)
return false;
/* Iterate backwards through respective strings and compare each char one at a time */
for(int i = 0; i < strlen(filename); i++)
{
if(tolower(filename[strlen(filename) - i - 1]) == tolower(extension[strlen(extension) - i - 1]))
{
if(i == strlen(extension) - 1)
return true;
} else
break;
}
return false;
}
Can handle file paths in addition to filenames. Works with both C and C++. And cross-platform.
If you use Qt library, you can give a try to QFileInfo's suffix()
Good answers but I see most of them has some problems:
First of all I think a good answer should work for complete file names which have their path headings, also it should work for linux or windows or as mentioned it should be cross platform. For most of answers; file names with no extension but a path with a folder name including dot, the function will fail to return the correct extension: examples of some test cases could be as follow:
const char filename1 = {"C:\\init.d\\doc"}; // => No extention
const char filename2 = {"..\\doc"}; //relative path name => No extention
const char filename3 = {""}; //emputy file name => No extention
const char filename4 = {"testing"}; //only single name => No extention
const char filename5 = {"tested/k.doc"}; // normal file name => doc
const char filename6 = {".."}; // parent folder => No extention
const char filename7 = {"/"}; // linux root => No extention
const char filename8 = {"/bin/test.d.config/lx.wize.str"}; // ordinary path! => str
"brian newman" suggestion will fail for filename1 and filename4.
and most of other answers which are based on reverse find will fail for filename1.
I suggest including the following method in your source:
which is function returning index of first character of extension or the length of given string if not found.
size_t find_ext_idx(const char* fileName)
{
size_t len = strlen(fileName);
size_t idx = len-1;
for(size_t i = 0; *(fileName+i); i++) {
if (*(fileName+i) == '.') {
idx = i;
} else if (*(fileName + i) == '/' || *(fileName + i) == '\\') {
idx = len - 1;
}
}
return idx+1;
}
you could use the above code in your c++ application like below:
std::string get_file_ext(const char* fileName)
{
return std::string(fileName).substr(find_ext_idx(fileName));
}
The last point in some cases the a folder is given to file name as argument and includes a dot in the folder name the function will return folder's dot trailing so better first to user check that the given name is a filename and not folder name.
This is a solution I came up with. Then, I noticed that it is similar to what #serengeor posted.
It works with std::string and find_last_of, but the basic idea will also work if modified to use char arrays and strrchr.
It handles hidden files, and extra dots representing the current directory. It is platform independent.
string PathGetExtension( string const & path )
{
string ext;
// Find the last dot, if any.
size_t dotIdx = path.find_last_of( "." );
if ( dotIdx != string::npos )
{
// Find the last directory separator, if any.
size_t dirSepIdx = path.find_last_of( "/\\" );
// If the dot is at the beginning of the file name, do not treat it as a file extension.
// e.g., a hidden file: ".alpha".
// This test also incidentally avoids a dot that is really a current directory indicator.
// e.g.: "alpha/./bravo"
if ( dotIdx > dirSepIdx + 1 )
{
ext = path.substr( dotIdx );
}
}
return ext;
}
Unit test:
int TestPathGetExtension( void )
{
int errCount = 0;
string tests[][2] =
{
{ "/alpha/bravo.txt", ".txt" },
{ "/alpha/.bravo", "" },
{ ".alpha", "" },
{ "./alpha.txt", ".txt" },
{ "alpha/./bravo", "" },
{ "alpha/./bravo.txt", ".txt" },
{ "./alpha", "" },
{ "c:\\alpha\\bravo.net\\charlie.txt", ".txt" },
};
int n = sizeof( tests ) / sizeof( tests[0] );
for ( int i = 0; i < n; ++i )
{
string ext = PathGetExtension( tests[i][0] );
if ( ext != tests[i][1] )
{
++errCount;
}
}
return errCount;
}
A NET/CLI version using System::String
System::String^ GetFileExtension(System::String^ FileName)
{
int Ext=FileName->LastIndexOf('.');
if( Ext != -1 )
return FileName->Substring(Ext+1);
return "";
}
_splitpath, _wsplitpath, _splitpath_s, _wsplitpath_w
This is Windows (Platform SDK) only
You can use strrchr() to find last occurence of .(dot) and get .(dot) based extensions files.
Check the below code for example.
#include<stdio.h>
void GetFileExtension(const char* file_name) {
int ext = '.';
const char* extension = NULL;
extension = strrchr(file_name, ext);
if(extension == NULL){
printf("Invalid extension encountered\n");
return;
}
printf("File extension is %s\n", extension);
}
int main()
{
const char* file_name = "c:\\.directoryname\\file.name.with.too.many.dots.ext";
GetFileExtension(file_name);
return 0;
}
Here's a function that takes a path/filename as a string and returns the extension as a string. It is all standard c++, and should work cross-platform for most platforms.
Unlike several other answers here, it handles the odd cases that windows' PathFindExtension handles, based on PathFindExtensions's documentation.
wstring get_file_extension( wstring filename )
{
size_t last_dot_offset = filename.rfind(L'.');
// This assumes your directory separators are either \ or /
size_t last_dirsep_offset = max( filename.rfind(L'\\'), filename.rfind(L'/') );
// no dot = no extension
if( last_dot_offset == wstring::npos )
return L"";
// directory separator after last dot = extension of directory, not file.
// for example, given C:\temp.old\file_that_has_no_extension we should return "" not "old"
if( (last_dirsep_offset != wstring::npos) && (last_dirsep_offset > last_dot_offset) )
return L"";
return filename.substr( last_dot_offset + 1 );
}
I use these two functions to get the extension and filename without extension:
std::string fileExtension(std::string file){
std::size_t found = file.find_last_of(".");
return file.substr(found+1);
}
std::string fileNameWithoutExtension(std::string file){
std::size_t found = file.find_last_of(".");
return file.substr(0,found);
}
And these regex approaches for certain extra requirements:
std::string fileExtension(std::string file){
std::regex re(".*[^\\.]+\\.([^\\.]+$)");
std::smatch result;
if(std::regex_match(file,result,re))return result[1];
else return "";
}
std::string fileNameWithoutExtension(std::string file){
std::regex re("(.*[^\\.]+)\\.[^\\.]+$");
std::smatch result;
if(std::regex_match(file,result,re))return result[1];
else return file;
}
Extra requirements that are met by the regex method:
If filename is like .config or something like this, extension will be an empty string and filename without extension will be .config.
If filename doesn't have any extension, extention will be an empty string, filename without extension will be the filename unchanged.
EDIT:
The extra requirements can also be met by the following:
std::string fileExtension(const std::string& file){
std::string::size_type pos=file.find_last_of('.');
if(pos!=std::string::npos&&pos!=0)return file.substr(pos+1);
else return "";
}
std::string fileNameWithoutExtension(const std::string& file){
std::string::size_type pos=file.find_last_of('.');
if(pos!=std::string::npos&&pos!=0)return file.substr(0,pos);
else return file;
}
Note:
Pass only the filenames (not path) in the above functions.
Try to use strstr
char* lastSlash;
lastSlash = strstr(filename, ".");
Or you can use this:
char *ExtractFileExt(char *FileName)
{
std::string s = FileName;
int Len = s.length();
while(TRUE)
{
if(FileName[Len] != '.')
Len--;
else
{
char *Ext = new char[s.length()-Len+1];
for(int a=0; a<s.length()-Len; a++)
Ext[a] = FileName[s.length()-(s.length()-Len)+a];
Ext[s.length()-Len] = '\0';
return Ext;
}
}
}
This code is cross-platform
So, using std::filesystem is the best answer, but if for whatever reason you don't have C++17 features available, this will work even if the input string includes directories:
string getextn (const string &fn) {
int sep = fn.find_last_of(".\\/");
return (sep >= 0 && fn[sep] == '.') ? fn.substr(sep) : "";
}
I'm adding this because the rest of the answers here are either strangely complicated or fail if the path to the file contains a dot and the file doesn't. I think the fact that find_last_of can look for multiple characters is often overlooked.
It works with both / and \ path separators. It fails if the extension itself contains a slash but that's usually too rare to matter. It doesn't do any filtering for filenames that start with a dot and contain no other dots -- if this matters to you then this is the least unreasonable answer here.

If you happen to use Poco libraries you can do:
#include <Poco/Path.h>
...
std::string fileExt = Poco::Path("/home/user/myFile.abc").getExtension(); // == "abc"
If you consider the extension as the last dot and the possible characters after it, but only if they don't contain the directory separator character, the following function returns the extension starting index, or -1 if no extension found. When you have that you can do what ever you want, like strip the extension, change it, check it etc.
long get_extension_index(string path, char dir_separator = '/') {
// Look from the end for the first '.',
// but give up if finding a dir separator char first
for(long i = path.length() - 1; i >= 0; --i) {
if(path[i] == '.') {
return i;
}
if(path[i] == dir_separator) {
return -1;
}
}
return -1;
}
I used PathFindExtension() function to know whether it is a valid tif file or not.
#include <Shlwapi.h>
bool A2iAWrapperUtility::isValidImageFile(string imageFile)
{
char * pStrExtension = ::PathFindExtension(imageFile.c_str());
if (pStrExtension != NULL && strcmp(pStrExtension, ".tif") == 0)
{
return true;
}
return false;
}
