A day ago csurfer's algorithm solved the problem. That's "pipelined" version:

int i, j = rand()%20;
for (i = 0; i < 20; i++)
array[i] = (i != j)*(rand()%9 + 1);

In addition:...

All except '\r' and (may be) quotes ;)

Do you really want to study C i/o basics on DaniWeb forum?
Better search for a good C i/o tutorial. There are lots of good links...

Assembler, fortran?

>Or do you know the 'ultimate' way?
Why not?

char* condense(char* s)
{
if (s) {
char* p = s;
char* q = s;
/* (never write so:) */
do if (*p != ' ')

Remember KISS principle: no need in temporary strings! ;)

If you mean variable argument list, read this:

Impossible!

Can you prove it? How many bytes per second is OK? What's i/o channels capacity?

Please, don't forget: NULL is a ponter value in C. You (and me) can't terminate the string with a pointer ;)

That's a nightmare... Is it a program in C? No, of course (see reinterpret_cast). But if it's a program in C++, where is operators new instead absolutely inadequate mallocs?!

I can't understand...

It's one-byte mask... Where are 16 bits?..

1. Use code tag correctly:

2. Have you ever heard that all names must be declared before used in C? If not, take your textbook again. If yes, what's str (or str2) in strcat385 body?
...

Lines to be read: end - start + 1
Pointers allocated: end - start

Did you understand?

Use code tag with the language specifier!!!

Some melancholy remarks:

The most serious defect of strtok-based CSV parsing is that strtok skips null values. For example, in the line "1st,,3rd," strtok selects only two tokens: 1st and 3rd.

Is it so hard job to correct obvious errors: you get compiler messages on wrong function arguments: fread and fwrite want POINTERS to target/source data areas (&d - not d, &b - not b))!
