stat might give you what you want.

scanf("%f", &length);
length is an int, you are passing a float. Same with scanf("%f", &breadth);
Either you change the type in the declaration of length and breadth, or change the f to d in the...

If you want to continue using awk as the workhorse, then:
ls -l f3.sh | awk '{ if( NF > 7 ) { split($7, a, ":"); print a[1] } }'

As you have been shown you can pipe the ls command to another program that further parses the output, in this case awk.
awk can do a lot of things, but even in its simplest form it can be very...

Look into the command touch

if ( ${cnt} -ge "1" ) That reads if cnt is greater or equal to 1 therefore != would have not worked.

if ($cnt >= 1) then
# whatever you want to mail
endif

csh doesn't use if/fi but rather if/endif. Look at posted script and you'll see you have an if/fi.
BTW csh doesn't have the same conditional operators than bash so -ge doesn't work.

Post your code the way you wrote it to execute. Make sure there's a space between [ and ]

It makes a difference the quotation scheme.
sed "/$npname.*in/d" parts.txt > parts.tmp

if( line == pattern)
That's a no-no, since line and pattern are strings and you can't compare arrays in that way.
Take a look at the string function strcmp() for that.
However, even if that would...

The controlling expression of a switch shall have integer type.
An array of chars will not do.

Do you know how to open a file and read from it?

One step at a time.
Start learning how to assign values to arrays.
Learn how to read a single or group of characters from a file.
After that it is just a matter of parsing what's read and...

Plenty of thing are erroneous in your snippet, however I would like to point out the cause of your affliction for now.

Funny, I thought that was part of the requirement.

Perhaps another approach?
#include <stdio.h>
#include <ctype.h>

void clean_spaces(void);
int main(void)
{
clean_spaces();
return 0;
}

Here's an assignment. Search why gets(s[i]); is a no no.

What is it that you are sorting the names by?

yellowSnow> If this is the case, then perhaps you should try using the strtok() function.
strtok() is a poor designed function, which make this recommendation a poor choice.

string[j][0] is a space to hold a character
string, on the other hand, is an array of characters. For sure there's going to be a problem...

sscanf() returns EOF if it fails or the number of items that has been successfully read. By using an if statement a minimum of checking has been accommodated. It is imperative to check the return of...

You are mistaken.
int printf ( const char * format, ... ); is the prototype. You passed it the proper argument.
