Problem With BCC32

[Anirban Chakraborty]

This C program attachment works well with GNU C compiler ie. The output midi file works when played. But it doesn't work with Borland C compiler.

It's just because Borland sucks. Your code is probably fine.

LOL, thank you.

Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition

Good IDE for free from Microsoft.

[Aereshaa]

It should. Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition (Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition Products) provides a C/C++ IDE and compiler for free. (Scroll down a bit to find the C/C++ one.)

There's a newer version available for download on Microsoft's website (free):
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 (Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition Products)

@^: What, are you Microsoft's spokesman? Come on, not everyone runs windows, or needs an all-in-one ide that wastes memory, doesn't optimize well, and doesn't conform to C or C++ standards.
All you ever need is gcc and the editor of your choice be it vi, emacs, nano, notepad++, PSpad, etc.

[Oigen]

He he he, windows representative, giving a sales pitch . But seriously now, it's probably because of Borland.

[dcs]

I built your code with both.

Comparing files borland.mid and GCC.MID
FC: no differences encountered

	while(!feof(fpin)){

But I think this may be your problem:

	fpout = fopen("1.mid", "wb");

On windows you'll definitely want to open the output file in binary mode to avoid newline translations.

You could really shorten this to

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
   FILE *fpin  = fopen("1.txt", "r");
   FILE *fpout = fopen("1.mid", "wb");
   if ( fpin && fpout )
   {
      unsigned int hex;
      while ( fscanf(fpin, "%2x", &hex) == 1 )
      {
         fputc(hex, fpout);
      }
      fclose(fpin);
      fclose(fpout);
   }
   return 0;
}

Is it wrong of me to promote a product that I find quite useful? I dislike Windows's buggyness, but they make some good stuff. (I like free things.)
