Hi
i have an array and wish to compare certain parts of the array to a string. For example i have the string "AB CD EF" and i want to test my string to see if it is of AB or CD or EF
this is what i have done but does not seem to work
any hints?Code:char temp[10]; char to_b_tested[10]; strncpy(temp, "AB CD EF", 8); if ((strncmp(temp[0], to_b_tested, 2) == 0) || (strncmp(temp[3], to_b_tested, 2) == 0) || (strncmp(temp[6], to_b_tested, 2) ==0)) { ;//then do something }
assuming that there is something already in to_b_tested
Try that method. Instead of indexing the array, which gives you the character, not the address of it, use the above. Or apply the address-of operator to what you have. Remember, the function wants a pointer, not a character.Code:if( strncmp( temp + offset, to_b_tested, 2 ) == 0 )
Quzah.
Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
thank you. also is %x to print in hex ?
You would know the answer to that if you (a) tried it or (b) looked up printf().Originally Posted by mbooka
It's like he thinks his computer will explode if he tries something without knowing its outcome.

to be honest i already tried it before posting it. There are so many ways to do one thing and i was just seeing if there are better ways to do one thing.
Is there a site that has good c programming references? Either i am bad at using the search engine or there is not many good sites out there. (Personally i think i sux at using the search engine =p)
