I would definitely think about rewriting that ... thing ... using arrays.

But here:

I tend to avoid the double-strlen call myself.

ch should be an int.
Prefer '0' to 48.
It doesn't handle negative values (or those beginning with +).
It has overflow issues.
I prefer C90 to C99 for more generic examples.

You're getting input from fgets, right? If you don't exceed the buffer size, what will the last character be? Are you checking for it? Got any misplaced semicolons? Is that particular comparison even...

I might like yours if you'd fix the errors. ;)

[edit]BTW/FYI, one in the links of the tutorial was to a snippet that uses strtol (http://www.daniweb.com/code/snippet216679.html) too.

When there are compiler errors, you get no .exe. You need to fix the errors before the program will be created; once an .exe is build you can run it.

Are you sure you've got the correct formula (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_mass_index)?

That reminds me of an old post (http://www.daniweb.com/forums/post94143.html#post94143). But I seem to have left out recursion. :P

(And it looked better in the original colors.)

To change the value of an object in a called function, you generally pass a pointer to the object.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

"They" didn't. It's for a third party library, one that was meant to work with DOS. Not a windows console, mind you, but DOS. Code that uses it is really meant for DOS. It doesn't really belong in...

Well, being new to both probably puts you in a spot. You could write your own parser if the XML file will always and forevermore be canned and simple, and that might be easiest.

But I might also...

Well, it matters to the parsing. Different formats require different things in the parse. As this exercise kinda shows.

Bleh. I need to call it a night and leave better advice to others.

I've been off my game tonight and subpar with my attempts to help (as I mentioned in another thread as well.

I had muffed the input data for one thing.

I'm thinking the empty fields is not working well with strtok. As I've mentioned, I'm not a strtok fan. Are you required to use it?

Thanks for the whole code.

I'm generally not a "parsing with strtok" fan; handling empty fields I've done this way:

I really don't care to make up the #defines and the rest. Do you suppose you could just post a small, but complete and compilable snippet?

In C++ you need to specifically cast it. In C, it's better to avoid the cast.

I may have been pokey with my edit -- you'll need to rewind fp before you start trying to read the data.

Having a safety check like this...
for ( i = 0; i < lines; i++ )
{
if (...

getc returns an int; EOF is an int.

[edit]Also, you'll need to rewind fp the way you're doing things..
int countlines(FILE* fp)
{
int c, lines = 0;
while ( (c = getc(fp)) != EOF )
{...

What kind of meaning do you expect for (2 * pRoot)?

The compiler warns because generally it isn't what someone wants. But multiplying by two is the same as adding self to self.

[edit]Heh. But that won't work with pointers. Probably also for good...

Try printing the bytes in the buffer rather than printing the buffer as a string (especially when you are not treating buffer as a string).

Okay. That one too.
Is the thing on the left side of the-> operator a pointer?

Is test2_2_U a pointer?

Expected input and output would be helpful. Providing a small snippet of a simple test, minimal but complete and compilable, would too.

Use system-specific APIs and write a fair amount of character-handling code.
Or use simple standard library functions and reject unwanted input.
Which is it that you want?

*sigh*

Of course it is. ALL structures of the structures in the first example are populated at compile time. A particular one isn't "selected" in the if tree.

Your first example may not be working the way you think it is. The #include directive is like a copy-and-paste that happens at compile time. You can't do it at runtime.
