Hi,
This program supposed to ask the user to enter the names and the ID numbers and
the number of children the employee have,
the search shoud work like this
taylar 845 3
john 123 2
sara 526 2
**search by name**
the user should enter the employee name he's searching for
if he entered sara
sara 526 2
**search by number of children**
if the user enterd 2
john 123 2
sara 526 2
**sort by name**
the names sould sorted in alphapatical order
john 123 2
sara 526 2
taylar 845 3

Okay...and what does it look like? Sorry, but I'm not nearly interested enough in your problem to compile and debug your code to find out what's wrong. You'll have to tell me what your problem is to get help.
However, I am interested enough in your problem to play around with my own toy implementation:

My problem with searching by employee name,
when I enter a name to search for ,I face a debug,
also if I entered
taylar
john
sara
array s should include:
s[0].....taylar
s[1].....john
s[2].....sara
but in my program it is:
s[0]....sara
s[1]....sara
s[2]....sara
it always takes the last name entered
this is my problem ,if you fix it to me then I can fix the hole program,
because my main problem only with searching by employee name .
thank you for trying to help me

That's because you're using a pointer. When you assign name to s[i], s[i] points to name. When the loop is done, all of the pointers still point to name, which contains the last name entered. To fix this, use arrays instead:
>when I enter a name to search for ,I face a debug
You mean you get an access violation when you try to write to an uninitialized pointer. You seem to have trouble with pointers, so I would suggest using arrays instead for any project. Leave the pointers for toy programs meant to experiment with features:

I changed the sort by name like this
<< moderator edit: added [code][/code] tags >>
but it doesn't work like what I want,
if I entered
the program should sort them like this
but it do this
How can I fix this problem ,plz ??

char s[10][100]; if ( x == 3 ){ for ( i=0 ; i <3 ; i++ ){ char s1=*s[i]; char s2=*s[i+1]; y=strcmp ( s[i] , s[i+1]); if ( y > 0 ) { *s[i] = s2; *s[i+1]=s1; }
but it doesn't work like what I want,
if I entered

aaa 111 1 ccc 222 2 bbb 333 3

You fix the problem by taking my advice:
When comparing strings you use strcmp, you've got that part down. When copying strings, you use strcpy. Your problem is that you're dereferencing an array, which gives you the first element of the array. You're basically sorting the first character of the strings rather than the whole strings.

Well, you still have no choice but to use strcpy if you want to actually swap the strings. Here's a tip. Get it working first, then modify it to suit your requirements. You'll find that using pointers and dynamic memory isn't terribly different than just using arrays.
