help

Hi,
I need to do a program that shows the date in this format, 12-jul-2002 from a number input. I´m using this struct:

Code:

typedef struct {
unsigned char day;
unsigned char month;
int year;
} Tdata;
 
The months are saved in.
char months[12][4]={"Gen","Feb","Mar","Abr","Mai","Jun","Jul","Ago",
    "Set","Oct","Nov","Des"};
 
Then I use this function:
int obtenirData( TData *d, char *text ) {
*/ analizes text and asigns a data to the structure Tdata and retorns -1 if error and 0 if ok. /*
return 0;
}

 
Then I use this function:
 
void donarData( Tdata *d, char *buffer) {
// writes in buffer a string that contains the data in d
// Doesn´t return anything
}

On main I call buffer with:
gets(buffer);

My question is how to get the numbers without using scanf and how to put them in the struct Tdata??

Please help me, Im going crasy....

Thanx.

I wouldn't if I were you. Research fgets(), it's has a couple more parameters, but it's much safer.

I type 12 7 2002. The program finds changes it to jul for me.

Sorry I got it wrong...
What I need to do is to store the date in the struct Tdata. The user will introduce the date in this format: 7-jun-1978.

Code:

typedef struct {
	unsigned char dia;
	unsigned char mes;
	int 	        any;
} TData;


char mesos[12][4]={"Gen","Feb","Mar","Abr","Mai","Jun","Jul","Ago","Set","Oct","Nov","Des"};


void printaMesos(void) {

 int i;
 for (i=0;i<12;i++) {
	puts(mesos[i]);
 }
}

int obtenirData( TData *d, char *text ) {

/*example obtenirData(&data, "7-Jul-1971");
  analizes text and asigns the data in the fields of the structure     Tdata. Returns -1 if error*/

return 0;
}


void donarData( Tdata *d, char *buffer) {
// writes to buffer a string that contains the date stored in d
// Does not return anything
}

void main() {


	 Tdata d;
	 char buffer[255];
	 char buffer1[255];


	 puts("Type an example string (7-Jul-1971)");
	 gets(buffer1);

	 if (obtenirData(&d, buffer1)==0) {
			donarData(&d,buffer);
			puts(buffer);   
	 } else {

		 puts("error in format");

	 }

	 printaMesos();

}

Thanx again!!
