Wait how is that incorrect?

It doesn't matter which order you add something, that result is still the same. -associative property?

>Took me 5 minutes to indent your code

You wasted 5 minutes!?

1) You could have just clicked the quote button on his post to get the indented code.
2) You could have just ran it through an...

If you want to write portable code (works on any system) it's best to use the c89 switch (and also turn up the warning level (-Wall).

Unscrambling a set of given letter is trivial if you use a letter frequency algo.

@tux4life, did you think you're in le c++ forums.

If you spent less time concentrating on how to paint the text different colours in the console window you might be getting somewhere.

I don't agree that post #4 did anything to help the OP. It just gave him the answer on the plate...

Is it just me, or does that example sort by matrix number/ marks instead of name?

What are these unsightly things I see,

gets() - ouch
clrscr() - unportable and unnecessary

And if I was being really picky atoi()...

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...

>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...

>Care to explain? Does not even look like a joke to me!

Yes the point of the matter is that the same output can be recreated without gotoxy() which is non-portable - meaning it won't work on some...

What!? just save the file as something.c and hit the compile button. Job done.

Yes in future, know the difference between a helpful prod in the right direction and a complete solution, albeit incorrect. Bah ha ha!

Help yourself by creating at least a skeleton program. Draw a flow chart on paper to get you started and use google for help...

Perhaps?

possibly (http://irc.essex.ac.uk/www.iota-six.co.uk/c/g6_strcat_strncat.asp) Something to think about.

Not looked at the link properly though.

You got the code tags wrong.

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

#define MYFILE "c:\\example.txt"

int main(void)
{
FILE *fp;
char buf[BUFSIZ] = "blah";
int i;

Hey that's sweet. I'll try that later.

>we can not use functoins like strcpy

Then write your own strcpy function and do it that way.

Most probably, anything that relies on an underlying program can therefore be reprogrammed. How? That would be a better question.

My guess is you would use the xor operator or use a trick with operator overloading +=?

Or better still get accustomed to the dot net framework, and learn c#. You can make quick GUIs wicked fast.

But if you still want to do this try looking up hash tables in c.

Hullo there, what's the problem? You have been told that using scanf is a waste of time, since each line does not contain the exact same number of variables. (It also makes your struct pretty useless...

What you are asking for is more or less like a word frequency counter.

If you were writing that for c++ it would be no problem. You could use the std::map.

In c it is much more difficult to...

Yes, you can do that, but it's more tricky.

Maybe this?

char da;

da = getchar();

> you mean by declaring dop as char dop[50] should work?????

Yes it makes no sense to declare it as an array of integers.

For example the following code may be what you want.
