Hi Again,
If I have this 2-D array stored in s1[j] :
one
two
three
fourAnd I wanted to copy the whole row IF the first letter of that row ==o . How Can I do that ? assuming that the destination array is s2[k][l].
I am confused because whenever I try to do it, it copies only the letter o and leaves the rest.The condition !='\n' doesn't seem to work ?!
Jump to Postpost the code you have tried. When the first letter is 'o' then just call strcpy() to copy the entire word. But whether that will work or not all depends on how you declared the two arrays. Post how you declared the two arrays and the rest of your program.
Jump to PostNot sure if I can answer your specific question, but a couple observations:
line 121: the value of bracket_nr is -1 when that line is hit, so the loop does nothing
line 126: The value of close_char is -52, which of course is an illegal index value.

Jump to PostYes, debugger show me the values. I use VC++ 2008 Express, which has the best debugger I have ever found.
Jump to Postlooks like one problem is the uninitialized variables on line 107. On line 109 you are trying to compare the uninitialized variable with 0. Not a good thing to do. :)

Hi Ancient Dragon,
Frankly Speaking I have posted the whole code 10's of times here: http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread117127.html
Though some said it was badly formatted so I though to make things simpler to post only the problem.
And because I don't want you to get confused of that code, I will post only the part where it's supposed to copy from an array to another:
int writetags (void) {
extern char bracket[BRACKET_MAX][B_CHAR_MAX];
char close[BRACKET_MAX][B_CHAR_MAX];
extern int diagnosis;
extern signed char bracket_nr, close_nr;
char bracket_char, close_char;
for(;bracket_nr>=0; bracket_nr--){
for(bracket_char=0; bracket[bracket_nr][bracket_char]!='\0'; bracket_char++){
putchar(bracket[bracket_nr][bracket_char]);
}
putchar('\n');
}
/*****************************************START: TO COPY and PRINT CLOSING TAGS*************************************/
// FIRST: check if there is a slash, then move the row to new array called 'close'
close_nr=0;
for(;bracket_nr>=0; bracket_nr--, close_nr++){
if (bracket_nr=='/'){
for(close_char=0, bracket_char=0; bracket[bracket_nr][bracket_char]!='\n'; bracket_char++, close_char++){
close[close_nr][close_char]=bracket[bracket_nr][bracket_char];}}}
close[close_nr][close_char]='\0';
// Then Print out the new array 'close' that contains the HTML closing tags only.
printf("Off tags are:\n");
for(;close_nr>=0; close_nr--){
for(close_char=0; close[close_nr][close_char]!='\0'; close_char++){
putchar(close[close_nr][close_char]);
}
putchar('\n');
}
/*****************************************END: TO COPY and PRINT CLOSING TAGS*************************************/
};As you can see, this function will 1: print the contents of the original Stack (2-D array), then try to Check if any ROW starts with this '/', then copy the whole ROW to new 2-D array.
Thanks in Advance.

Thank You for Your useful notes, let me check the reasons and reply later with corrections, but how did you notice those values ? Debugger ?
Yes, debugger show me the values. I use VC++ 2008 Express, which has the best debugger I have ever found.
Damnit I've never got stuck on code like this time :SSSSSSS
Did anyone of you guys see any code to validate HTML tags using C before ?
looks like one problem is the uninitialized variables on line 107. On line 109 you are trying to compare the uninitialized variable with 0. Not a good thing to do. :)
But those lines work without problems, actually variables in line 106 are initialized in the main.
The problem is with the code between lines 120-135 :(
Here is the output I get

You have written 4 brackets; they are:
/HTML

/BODY

Off tags are:
Press any key to continue . . .And here is the code that I modified. I deleted all extern statements because they are not necessary and initialized all data and arrays to 0. The extern statements were the cause of the wierd numbers I found earlier.

thanks.
Hi,
I have solved the problem of separating the closing tags from the openeing tags and now I have got something like this:
<html><body>This is HTML</body></html>
You have written 4 brackets; they are:
The opening tags are:
body
html
And the Closing Tags are:
html
body
You have the correct number of brackets in your HTML text.
Press any key to continue . . .I have removed the "/" from the closing brackets for comparison purposes.
Now I have got this problem, I need to compare both arrays to validate the HTML string, So I have to reverse the Closing one and then do 2 nested for loops for tags order check and tags syntax check. However, it doesn't work with me. I have done this function to do the comparison, can someone please check it for me.
Notice that the 1st for loop reads from row=0 and increments for the 1st array, WHILE it starts from the max and decrements for the 2nd one to read in reverse order. Not sure though.
int compare1 (void)
{
for(bracket_nr=0;bracket_nr!='\0' && close_nr>=0; bracket_nr++, close_nr--){
for(bracket_char=0, close_char=0; bracket[bracket_nr][bracket_char]!='\0' && close[close_nr][close_char]!='\0'; bracket_char++, close_char++){
if (close[close_nr][close_char]!=bracket[bracket_nr][bracket_char]){printf("\nYou have errors at:\n%c");}
}}
return 0;
}
Sorry, Cause I want to annoy you with the same question.
<hbr> does not have an ending tag.
<I>, <a>, <body> tags needs or may have attributes.
if you are checking the beginning tag & ending tag, how will you handle this?
Sorry, If my question irritates you

Sorry, If my question irritates you
There are many tags that can be used unpaired in HTML, but in this program, it is not a must to stick with default HTML tags, any tags would work but the condition is if you have an opening tag, there should be a closing Tag for it. Let's say it is a HTML-LIKE tags program.
But if I want to do that, I should add a static variable that contains all the unpaired tags, and when separating the open from the close tags, there should be a condition (if not from the static unpaired), then count into open or close, else, count into unpaired.
As for the tags with text body, it will be removed.
That should make sence.
Well then have a nice day
Hi again :D
I have finally done almost 95% of the program, it reads from the string, separates the opening tags from the closing tags and stores each category in separate array.
It checks the number of open brackets and closed ones and checks the pairing, if not paired in number, it shows that.
Now I have tried to do a new function that compares both arrays and checks:
1- the syntax differences between each pair (aka: <html></hmtl), AND
2- checks the pairing of the tags in term of type (aka: <html> should have </html>).
I have tried many ways but it didn't work properly, the following code would give a result of this string: <html><body>TEST</body></html> as:
<html><body>test</body></html>
