Regcomp?

I'm making my first C script, it logs on to a website and checks if it succeeded. Therefor, I need to check if the page contains "Je bent nu ingelogd". The website is saved in char *res.

Can anyone help? I wanted to use regcomp but I didn't understand the man page and I couldn't find any good example on this site or google.

Thanks!

Write your own search function.
It isn't so hard.

Well, for me it is, this is my first C script 8-)

Go back to Hello World and tutorials then! :D

The actual search isn't terribly difficult, but connecting to a web server and downloading the contents of a page isn't exactly trivial.

You probably don't want to do it in C. I would tend more toward Perl for something like this.

I wouldn't use scripting languages in real programs.
I would use scripting languages in web sites.

This is some kind of a search function. It is terrible and may be buggy, so beware:

Code:

---

int search(char* data,char* find){
    int i,match=0,findlen,start;
    if(find[0]=='\0'){
        return -1;
    }
    findlen=strlen(find);
    for(i=0;data[i]!='\0';i++){
        if(data[i]==find[match]){
            if(match==0){
                start=i;
            }
            match++;
            if(match==findlen){
                return start;
            }
        }
        else{
            if(match>0){
                match=0;
                if(data[i]==find[0]){
                    start=i;
                    match=1;
                    if(findlen==1){
                        return start;
                    }
                }
            }
            else{
                match=0;
            }
        }
    }
    return -1;
}

If the second string is found in the first string, then it returns the location where it starts.
Otherwise it returns -1.

Why not?

It's a good thing standard C provides strstr. ;)

Why not?

Because it is a SCRIPTING language, not a PROGRAMMING language. It needs INTERPRETER.

I have already told it's a lot more fun to make the whole function myself.

>Because it is a SCRIPTING language, not a PROGRAMMING language. It needs INTERPRETER.
Excuse me, I need to go beg webmaster for a "stunned silence" smiley.

>I have already told it's a lot more fun to make the whole function myself.
I don't have a problem with that. What I have a problem with is your completely ignoring a better solution and making a beeline to your own naive code. You can post your own implementation if you want, but please do so after properly answering the question to the best of your ability.

You should have seen by now that every single thing maxorator says is ... I can't even locate the correct word. Inept? Pointless? Wrong? Eye-bleed-inducing? I'm going to have to start making up words for it.


Quzah.

Just call him a Mister C and be done with it. ;) Ah, I kill me. That reminds me to read his book on C#...
