I have a striing which is like :
"#$Francis"
so,
char *u;
char str[25]="#$Francis";
u = strstr(str, "#$");
u++;u++;
so the u pointer now points to 'F'.
when i run a loop to print out character by character from F to s in Francis, it somehow keeps stopping at 'n', it does not proceed to print out c, i or s, but instead prints out many many weird characters...
any idea wat's wrong ehre?

It looks fine to me. Maybe try writing a function that ignores # and $ or whatever and prints everything else. Whenever there seems to be no possible answer to a bug, it is best to cross reference and appoach it from different angles.
Hope that helps a little.Code:int a = 0; while (theString[a++]) { if(theString[a] == EOF); return 0; if(theString[a] == '#' || theString[a] == '$') continue; else if(theString[a] == '\n') putchar('\n'); putc(theString[a]); }
okok, thanx, it worked!
do u know if there is a function in C whereby i can convert a string to upper case or vice versa?

toupper() tolower(). Loop through your string using these functions on the individual characters.
With your original problem, show the loop you are using to print out Francis.

isn't this onli for single characters?
i tried it on my string, and i got so many warning messages...
how do i do it for a strinG?

okay, done that
another thing is, er.........i have a password field where users enter their password...
is there any function in C which masks the characters for u? or must we do this ourselves?

I can't think of a function in C, C++ yes and with operating system API functions, yes, I think you may just as well do it yourself.

Common question use puts to put a * on screen after reading in one character thus replacing the character with the *.is there any function in C which masks the characters for u? or must we do this ourselves?
