syntax error

Feb 21st, 2006

hey guys, I am using the following code to count from a text file but I also want to check for ",jo " as well as "jo " I was trying to do it by using while((ch = strstr( ch, "jo ")) != 0) || while((ch = strstr( ch, ",jo ")) != 0) but this doesn't work I was just wondering how I could so this thanks.

 Help with Code Tags 
 C Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
char *ch=array;
while((ch = strstr( ch, "jo ")) != 0) 
 
	if( ch == array '||isspace (*(ch-1)))
		{
			temp.count++;
		      ch++;
 
 
	}
		else
                    {
                        break;
                     }
 
}
 
char *ch=array;
while((ch = strstr( ch, "jo ")) != 0) 

	if( ch == array '||isspace (*(ch-1)))
		{
			temp.count++;
		      ch++;
													
			
	}
		else
                    {
                        break;
                     }

}

Use this.

 Help with Code Tags 
 C Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
while( ( (ch = strstr( ch, "jo ") ) != 0) ||( (ch = strstr( ch, ",jo ")) != 0 ))
while( ( (ch = strstr( ch, "jo ") ) != 0) ||( (ch = strstr( ch, ",jo ")) != 0 ))

Note:
I am not sure about the logic, that is your responsibility. But the syntax is okay.

Hi thanks for your reply the logic seems to be working alright for me. What do you think was wrong with it?

Thanks.

Nothing. I said that because I didnt know your requirements. If it meets your requirements then it is correct.

Thanks in the end I couldn't use the || even with the correct syntax and just has to use another while loop or for some reason the program would crash. Not sure why it was crashing though.
