I think maybe I'm just dumb today but then... maybe not. Heh...
I've read a bunch of things so far and have a basic understanding of the built-in C string functions. However, I guess you could say I'm confused on a particular concept.
<select><option selected>New Game<option>Continue<option>Quit</select>
No, I'm not writting a new HTML display program.
Now, here's the problem. I want to take that particular string (defined simply as, a char *). Then, I want to break it up using the tags and organize the data.
Now, here's the question. Should I store the names between the tags in an array? Like, the number of the first option is associated with the characters following it up until the next '<' character.
I figure ever time I encounter a '<' character I should compare the next characters to either 'option' or '/select'. If it's 'option', I would increment the number of options by one and then associate that number with characters between the '>' and '<' characters.
Or am I making this way more complicated than it needs to be?
Help??
Thanks...
P.S.
I just thought of this also (wow, I do feel dumb today!). The array that stores the numbers... should I not store the numbers at all and just simply store a series of strings and than use the array indicies to acsess the string data?
