    Ok I've managed to make it work through sweat and tears and pure determination I've written a total of 27 if/if else's.

    Now I still can't get the numbers and spaces to work, any ideas?

    I updated the code FYI.

    For the numbers, setting output to 7 does not mean you will display '7', since 7 is <beep>.

    the var simply tells it when to stop

    it scans twice once to keep the loop going, the other for the program

    ok so what do I do about the numbers? I tried to use fscan for variables for the digits 0-9 and got a segmentation fault

    how do i scan single digits?

    You may have deluded yourself into thinking so, but that's simply not true. Print out chrr and var before you start encrypting and see for yourself.

    Edit: You had that right the first time. Now you've got the logic right, you just have to not use this var thing.

    But I've already used the program for encrypting. It *IS* working its just that the spacebars and numbers don't work.

    If you won't print out var, I will:
    Code:
    var is: 0
    var is: 0
    var is: 0
    var is: 0
    var is: 0
    var is: 0
    var is: 0
    var is: 0
    var is: 0
    var is: 0
    var is: 0
    var is: 0
    var is: 0
    var is: 0
    var is: 0
    var is: 0
    var is: 0
    var is: 0
    var is: 0
    var is: 0
    var is: 0
    var is: 0
    var is: 0
    var is: 0
    var is: 0
    var is: 0
    var is: 0
    var is: 102378
    where oh where could your numbers have gone. (Note this is also where your spaces have gone.)

    You need to do the same reading in the loop that you did outside, or used to:
    Code:
    var = fscanf("&#37;c", &chrr);
    Remember fscanf returns EOF on trying to read end of file. And also that read has to be inside the while loop, as in
    Code:
    while ((var = fscanf("%c",&chrr)) != EOF)
    And actually you don't really need var:
    Code:
    while (fscanf("%c", &chrr) != EOF)

    Oops, forgot the filename. You'll need f_in as the first parameter.

    abcdef uvwxyz ZYXWVUTS RQPONML 102378

    ok this bit is what it's supposed to read

    I run it and input 0 as k, and it outputs:

    abcde
    It's stopping at the spacebar, why?
