problem with "comparison between pointer and integer"

this still isn't working for me and I am frustrated. eh, I shall learn soon enough to get out of stupid little problems. If u can improve the source... like making it so that it takes the whole file, rather than 255 bytes, that would be wonderful... but I just want it to work. thx.

/* should parse html files for tags, dumping them to stdout - my very first program... by p0wp0wpanda*/
#include <stdio.h>

char partoffile[255];
int a,b,c;

int main()
{

fgets(partoffile,255,stdin);

for (a = 0;a < 255;a++)
if (partoffile[a] == "<") {
for (b = a;a < 255;a++)
if (partoffile[b] == ">") {
for (c = a-b;c<b;c++)
putc(partoffile[c],stdout);
};};}

I havent analyzed your code at all, but you definately need to put those "<" and ">" into single quotes, ie '>' and '<'. This is probably what your compiler is warning about, because your array element is a single character, and "<" is a char*, which are not going to compare too well. If you use '>' you are looking at the individual char > as opposed to the > char followed by the (hidden) '\0' char. Good luck.

Thx, I mean now it compiles and all, but it still doesn't seem to be working... could anybody try to help me to get it to work? thx.

Use code tags when you post code.
Paste the code straight in from the editor.
Return 0; from main.
If you haven't posted all your code above, please paste it all.

What is this program supposed to do?

/* should parse html files for tags, dumping them to stdout - my very first program... by p0wp0wpanda*/

So does it just dump all of the tags themselves? This is very easy.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
int main ( void )
{
    FILE *fp = NULL;
    int c = 0;

    if( (fp = fopen( "myfile.html", "r" )) != NULL)
    {
        while( (c = fgetc( fp )) != EOF )
        {
            if( c == '<' )
            {
                do printf( "%c", c ); while( (c = fgetc( fp )) != EOF && c != '>' );
                printf(">\n");
            }
        }
        fclose( fp );
    }
    else
        printf("Error opening file.\n");
    return 0;
}

I didn't compile it, but this should do the trick.

Quzah.

*jaw drops* I didn't know that was possible. Soooo fast... so easily made to be scriptable... yes... good... THX! It is wonderful. Lol, thx.

speaking of scripting, I know that I am doing something wrong below, could anybody help in fixing it? (it won't open the file that I pass as an argument...)

#include <stdio.h>
int main (char *filename)
{
FILE *fp = NULL;
int c = 0;

if( (fp = fopen(filename, "r" )) != NULL)
{
while( (c = fgetc( fp )) != EOF )
{
if( c == '<' )
{
do printf( "%c", c ); while( (c = fgetc( fp )) != EOF && c != '>' );
printf(">\n");
}
}
fclose( fp );
}
else
printf("Error opening file.\n");
return 0;
}

Code:

#include <stdio.h> 
int main (int argc, char * argv[]) 
{ 
	FILE * fp = NULL;
	int c = 0; 

	if (argc == 2)
	{
		if( (fp = fopen(argv[1], "r" )) != NULL) 
		{ 
			while( (c = fgetc( fp )) != EOF ) 
			{ 
				if( c == '<' ) 
				{ 
					do printf( "%c", c ); while( (c = fgetc( fp )) != EOF && c != '>' ); 
					printf(">\n"); 
				} 
			} 
			fclose( fp ); 
		} 
		else 
		printf("Error opening file.\n"); 
	}
	return 0; 
}

Is that what you're looking for?

The command line arguments could be handled a bit better in this example, but it will get a file open for you to do your work.

I created a file, and put this in it:
<b>hmm</b>
and it printed the bold html tags.

Thx, it works really well now.
