after alittle more time and errors i started working on more string and pointer functions, right now im confused.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main() {
char temp[20] = "tes_ting";
char temp2[20] = {'\0'};
int Start = 2;
get_nextword(&temp, &temp2, '_', &Start, 8);
printf("%s\n\n", temp2);
return 0;
}
int get_nextword(char *src, char *dest, int sep, int *start, int max) {
char *spot;
if(max == '\0')
max = strlen(src);
copy(&src, &dest, &start, max);
spot = strchr(dest, sep);
dest[*spot] = '\0';
return 0;
}
/* WORKING CODE...WORKING CODE...WORKING CODE...WORKING CODE...WORKING CODE...*/
int copy(char *src, char *dest, int *start, int end) {
int x = 0;
--*start;
while(*start < end) {
dest[x] = src[*start];
++*start;
++x;
}
return 0;
}
the get_nextword function is just supposed to take a string and return everything before the seperator(sep). the copy function does work so i dont get why this is crashing, its doesnt even give me any warnings (im stuck in DevC in Win XP). any ideas?
