syntax error

Expand Post »

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.

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;
                     }

}

Re: syntax error

Use this.

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.

Re: syntax error

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

Thanks.

Re: syntax error

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.
