valid coding

[xlordt]

is this valid.. i mean.. it doesnt really work.. but can i code something like this

struct modes {
       char *sbuf;
};

int main( int argc, char *argv[] )
{

struct modes m;
char buf[256];
char ch;

 if( argc != 3 )
 {
   fprintf( stderr, "--Usage: %s <file> <mode>", argv[1] );
   exit( 1 );
 }

 m.sbuf = (char *)&argv[2] ;
 printf( "%s", m.sbuf );
 getchar( );
 return 0;

}

just curious, tring to find all sours of ways to code just a simple program

I've never messed around with that before, but I don't think you could use valid pointers to argv. Maybe I'm wrong. Simply copying arv[] would work, of course.

[Draco]

You can do that like this:

char ch;
switch (ch)
{
    case 'a': ...
    ...
}

Why not?
m.sbuf = argv[2] ;
