Well, if you use sprintf then it should be easy:
Code:
char * colormenu[] = {"red","blue","black"};
char * stylemenu[] = {"4x4","Saloon","Sports"};
char command[100]; // Arbitrary length, make as long as you need it
int colorchoice, stylechoice, loop;
printf("Please enter the color you want\n");
for( loop = 0; loop < sizeof colormenu / sizeof *colormenu; ++loop )
printf("%d.%s\n",loop+1,colormenu[loop]);
scanf("%d",&colorchoice);
printf("Please enter the style you want\n");
for( loop = 0; loop < sizeof stylemenu / sizeof *stylemenu; ++loop )
printf("%d.%s\n",loop+1,stylemenu[loop]);
scanf("%d",&stylechoice);
sprintf(command,"POST MYCAR CP/1.0\r\nCar-Options:#color;%s#style;%s\r\n\r\n ",
colormenu[colorchoice-1],stylemenu[stylechoice-1]);
I skipped the engine related code to cut down on the size for this example. After the code executes, the command character array should contain the formated command string.
Using Pointers With Strings
Brilliant!!!
