Are you saying you want a function such as:


function ( /* arg1, arg2, arg3, ... , argN */)

// call this myfile.h
#include <stdio.h>
int sum ( int, int );
int sum ( int x, int y )
{
return x + y;
}

// Program to be run: main.c
#include <stdio.h>

Is your program accepting integers as well as strings(letters)?

> i have to make pointer to point to the character

Why just return the position as an integer.

Maybe you could find the length of the string inbetween the commas. If it is zero then fill it with a space or newline.

How is your struct further subdivided:

For example:


struct
{
char cname[8];
char sname[16];
char exam[16];

Shouldn't the year be an integer. Therefore shouldn't you be using %d?

Yeah that sounds logical.

Maybe

In short no.

You might however, get some useful information if you use a hex editor on the exe file.

Put some printf(s) in strategic places to help you find out where you are going wrong.

Using fllush(stdin) and gets() probably doesn't help matters... And void main...

>Oh yeah, don't int main(void).

You could use a struct, or if the idea is too abstract for you, toy with the idea of parallel arrays, like you said.

>that is using win main.. which is c++?.
No, not necessarily, you can use c as well with win32. Think of win32 as a separate entity, severed from either c or c++. You use one or the other to help...

You should not use gets() for user input. I have already shown you how you use fgets() to achieve the same thing. You should use it all the time.
...

You should use your initiative to solve your problem. You have more than enough information to get continue.

Sorry I have to go. You should have enough info to complete your program.bye

what output do you get?

what happened?

Look i'm running out of time this should be the final one. I don't have a compiler to test it with so it might not work...

void encode ( char ch );
char alph[] = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
...

>im guessing that it cannot convert the string because encode takes characters

Correct, so what do you think you must do?

[edit] don't use gets, it's real bad, use the example I showed you...

Right now is it necessary for the user to type the path at the command prompt? If it is let's try and get that working first.

Okay I know what you've done. Go to the text file click rename then delete the .txt you have there.

well?

hmm, ok go to

start > run then type cmd then click ok

In command prompt if it isn't already pointing and c:\>

keep typing cd.. <enter>
until you get there.

When it is pointing at c:\>...

Is your file called data.txt or data.text

And did you remember the double backslash after the c:\\

well?

Keep it simple, do one thing at a time. Try to read in a file line by line. Then see if you can adapt that to include your morse program code.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

#define...

What does your input file look like. Post an example.

Oh right, well when you've written it, come back here.

where are you reading in the file?

And why did you use strlen() within the for loop.

What have you got so far?

Mark this as being solved. (bottom rhs)

Next time use standard c and intent your code with spaces instead of tabs.

well?

And this one...



void encode ( char ch );
char alph[] = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
/* morsecode is an array of pointers to char. It is initialized
* so that each element points to a...

what are you typing in?

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "stdio.h"
#include "ctype.h"
#include "string.h"

void encode ( char ch );
char alph[] = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
/* morsecode is an array of pointers to...

well?
