    readin off a text file with commas

    hello,
    am writing a program that read a text file wit 1s and 0s as binary like and converts it into hex. my question is how can i read a text file with 1's and 0's separeted by a comman like 101010 , 1011101 , 010111 . 110011 , ...

    here's wot ive written so far
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <string.h>
    
    int bin2dec(char *bin);
    
    int main()
    {
    
    char bin[80] = "";
    char *p;
    int dec;
    
    while(strcmp(bin,"0"))
    {
    FILE *fp = fopen("binary.txt","r");
    FILE *ofp= fopen("hex.txt","r");
    char lname[25];
    char bin[80] ;
    fgets(bin,80,fp);
    
    
    
    
    fgets(bin, sizeof(bin), fp);
    fclose(fp);
    // check for and remove trailing \n
    if ((p = strchr(bin,'\n')) != NULL)
    {
    *p = '\0';
    }
    dec = bin2dec(bin);
    if (dec) fprintf(ofp,"Hexadecimal =
    0x%02X" ,bin);
    
    fclose(fp);
    fclose(ofp);
    }
    
    getchar(); 
    
    }
    
    
    int bin2dec(char *bin)
    {
    int b, k, m, n;
    int len, sum = 0;
    
    len = strlen(bin) - 1;
    for(k = 0; k <= len; k++)
    {
    n = (bin[k] - '0'); // char to numeric
    value
    if ((n > 1) || (n < 0))
    {
    puts("\n\n only 1 and 0!\n");
    return (0);
    }
    for(b = 1, m = len; m > k; m--)
    {
    
    b *= 2;
    }
    // sum it up
    sum = sum + n * b;
    
    }
    return(sum);
    }

    How about adding another if() or two to check for spaces and commas?

    Is your code as badly indented in your editor as it is on the forum?
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    All what?

    Being able to format code is one of the first lessons, so you may as well get used to the idea.

    Not only will you find that code will be much easier to write and follow yourself, it will also encourage people who might otherwise gloss over your posts into actually helping you.
