Thread: Printing charcter by character

Hi.....
I have to parse through an input XML file line-by-line, character-by-character and find if closing HTML tags are present for every opening HTML tag.

Code:

MAIN program:
	while (scanf("%s", code) != EOF)
	{
		i=0;
		length = strlen(code);
		while (i < strlen(code))
		{
			c=code[i];
			if (c == '<')
			{
	                 j=0;

                                 do
	                         {
					c=code[i];
					element[j]=c;
					++i;
					j++;
				}while(c!='>');

				c=code[++i];

				element[j] = '\0';


				if (element[1] == '/')
				{
					l=element[2];
					length = strlen(element);
					for (k=0;k<=length-4;k++)
					{
						check[k]=element[l++];
					}
					check[k] = '\0';
					/*Function passsed tho process the element()*/
					printf("%s",element);

				}

				else
				{
					l=element[1];

					length = strlen(element);
					for (k=0;k<=length-3;k++)
					{
						check[k]=element[l++];

					}
					check[k]='\0';
					/*Function passsed tho process the element()*/
					printf("%s",element);
				}

			}
			else
			{
				putchar(c);
				c=code[++i];
			}

		}
	}

When printing to the output I find that any character that is printed just after '>' character without any spaces will not be printed to the output. Also no spaces from the input text is printed to the output.

Please help
