case sensitive

[GanglyLamb]

hey
im currently making a quiz and....:
*i want to make sure capitals dont matter i use fgets to get the correct answer out of a txt file
is there anyway how to make it non-case sensitive.
*theres a char questions[100]; and i say somewhere in my code
while(questions!=EOF); and at this thing the compiler says its a comparisonbetween a ptr and an integer
just wanna know how to solve that coz somehwere in a bok i read something similar like c!=EOF where c=fscanf(fp,"%s",oneword); and apperently it worked there....

First, make sure all answers are written in uppercase letters. Then, before you check for a match, use the toupper() function on all characters in the string the user inputs. This will make all characters upper case, thus no problems when comparing.

(Can of course be done the other way with lower case letters and tolower() too )

while(questions != EOF)

Well, questions is in this case a pointer to the first element of a char array. But you want to check the value (not the adress) that the pointer is pointing to, so you would need at least something like this:

while(*questions != EOF)

But that's not what you want, I guess.


c!=EOF where c=fscanf(fp,"%s",oneword);

Here, the variable c is assigned the return value of the fscanf() function to test for EOF.

So, what you want may be to check the return value of the function you are using for reading from the text file.
Perhaps something like this:

#define SIZE 100
...
FILE *fd;
...
char questions[SIZE];
...
while(fgets(questions, SIZE, fd) != NULL)
{
    do_something;
}

yup i used tolower(); and it worked thank u magos and sargnagel
