Thread: Still having a little trouble w/th ptrs

Cheeers. I just ran it under cygwin and its running fine. I think its just that I was still using fwrite. Just means I have to have a read on fprintf again. Thank you so much for the help. Now that thats done, the uncompression shouldnt be too hard.
Thanks again,
Johannes

PS: Would this work? At the moment its complaining bout the strncpy use.

Code:

char * strcompare( char *ptrstr, char *ptroldstr )
{
   int i;
   char * temp;

   temp = malloc ( 80 * sizeof *temp);
  
   if( strlen( ptroldstr ) == 0 )
   {
       strcpy(ptroldstr,ptrstr);
       return 0;
   }
   for( i = 0; i < strlen( ptrstr ); ++i)
   {
      if( isdigit( *( ptrstr + i ) ) != 0 )
      {
         if( *( ptrstr + i ) == '0' )
         {
            temp = strstr( ptrstr, "0" );
            strcpy( ptrstr, temp );
         }

         strncpy( ptrstr, *( ptrstr + i ), strlen( ptrstr ) );
      } 
      
   }

   strcpy( ptroldstr, &ptrstr[ i ] );
   return ptrstr;
}

It wouldnt let me attach the file so I accidentaly started a new thread. The file and another question is under "slightly got lost and confused".Sorry, I know you probably have better things to do but I really appreciate all the help. May be one day I understand enough to be of help to others too.
Cheers, Johannes
