Hey guys, I am trying to take individual characters on an array and put them together into words on a new array. so if i have the word |n|i|c|e| in one array i want the other array to store the first element as |nice|. any ideas on how i can go about doing this?
do a search first because i've been through this before and this has been covered so many times.
1D -> 2D (go figure!)
i did do a search before. I didnt find anything that put characters together into words on another array
The only difference between |n|i|c|e| and |n|i|c|e|\0| is the \0 at the end. char arrays == strings in C. If you have already figured out how to put these into an array, all you need to know is how to put \0 in there as well.
hint:Code:array[last] = '\0';
if i put |n|i|c|e|\0| into a second array wouldnt it take up 5 elements in the array? this is an example of what i want it to look like:
char[0] = n;
char[1] = i;
char[2] = c;
char[3] = e;
word[0] = nice;
there will be more words in the array too.
So you need a 2D array of chars then.
ok thanx for the help! i figured id have to do that or create an actual string. i thought there might be a simpler way. thanks again though
Or use an array of pointers to char. This works better for variable length strings instead of being restricted by the second array index.
Whats you need is this
~ssharishCode:char chars[] = "nice"; char *word[10] = { NULL }; word[0] = chars; printf("%s", word[0]);

im reading in the input from a file one character at a time nd putting it on a table. i was going to find all the spaces between the and put the characters found up until that white space will be a word(or sequence of numbers) on another array but i think the 2D array will have to do
