Scanning an inputted array of words, and separating each word into a new array?

Expand Post »
Is this possible? I would like to have a user input a sentence, and then have each word in that sentence be put into its own array.

Re: Scanning an inputted array of words, and separating each word into a new array?

Oh, thanks for the information. I will be sure to look at the string class tonight when I get a chance to finish my program. I assume you are talking about the <string.h> class right? If so, I have tried using the strtok function to break each word into a function. After trying this I cannot seem to figure out how to separate each token into a new array. Or is that even needed to do what I need to do? Do I need to use something other than strtok?

Oh, I have never heard of that. I am using C, not C++ if that makes a difference. Do you know about the strtok function that I am speaking of?

Re: Scanning an inputted array of words, and separating each word into a new array?

Post your attempt. The basics are something like this:
  1.       static const char delim[] = " \n";
  2.       size_t size = 0;
  3.       char word[10][20], *ptr = strtok(sentence, delim);
  4.       while ( ptr != NULL )
  5.       {
  6.          strcpy(word[size], ptr);
  7.          if ( ++size >= sizeof word / sizeof *word )
  8.          {
  9.             break;
  10.          }
  11.          ptr = strtok(NULL, delim);
  12.       }

Re: Scanning an inputted array of words, and separating each word into a new array?

Ok, this is my program. I included the entire thing, because when I went to add the part in the main() function about choosing which game to play, it gives an error when I run it. Something is wrong and I have no clue what it is. My attempt at the arrays is in the cellPhone function which is not complete.

Also my compiler is giving me an error if i try to shorten the line length of the menu by entering half of it to a new line. Why is it doing this?

  1. #include <stdio.h>
  2. #include <string.h>
  3.  
  4. void nameGame();
  5. void pigLatin();
  6. void changeLatin(char [], int);
  7. void cellPhone();
  8. void cellButtons(char [], int);
  9.  
  10. main()
  11. {
  12. 	int input = 0;
  13.  
  14. 	printf("\n\tEnter your choice:\n\t1. Name Game\n\t2. Pig Latin\n\t3. Text Messaging\n\t4. Exit\n");
  15.  
  16. 	scanf("%d", &input);
  17.  
  18. 	while (input != 4)
  19. 	{
  20. 		if (input == 1)
  21. 			nameGame();
  22. 		else if (input == 2)
  23. 			pigLatin();
  24. 		else if (input == 3)
  25. 			cellPhone();
  26. 		else
  27. 			printf("Invalid choice.  Enter a number 1-4.");
  28.  
  29. 		printf("\n\tEnter your choice:\n\t1. Name Game\n\t2. Pig Latin\n\t3. Text Messaging\n\t4. Exit\n");
  30. 		scanf("%d", &input);
  31. 	}

Re: Scanning an inputted array of words, and separating each word into a new array?

Ok, I ran your code through my program in place of mine for the pigLatin() function and it works, but how do I access each word's array? I need to modify each word.

Re: Scanning an inputted array of words, and separating each word into a new array?

From my earlier mockup:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(void)
{
   char sentence[200];
   puts("enter a sentence:");
   fflush(stdout);
   if ( fgets(sentence, sizeof sentence, stdin) != NULL )
   {
      static const char delim[] = " \n";
      size_t i, size = 0;
      char word[10][20], *ptr = strtok(sentence, delim);
      while ( ptr != NULL )
      {
         strcpy(word[size], ptr);
         if ( ++size >= sizeof word / sizeof *word )
         {
            break;
         }
         ptr = strtok(NULL, delim);
      }
      puts("words are:");
      for ( i = 0; i < size; ++i )
      {
         puts(word[i]); /* access to each word */
      }
   }
   return 0;
}

/* my output
enter a sentence:
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
words are:
The
quick
brown
fox
jumps
over
the
lazy
dog.
