for the life of me what is wrong ?

**tbites** · 10-26-2009

hey guys,
I found this cool program. It takes a a name from the command line and I am trying to learn c and it is suppose to work but I cannot see any syntax errors.
Do you guys see anything wrong? It wont compile worth crap!. No rush on this
I am just trying to play with different code and this code plays with files and strcpy() function and such and I just dont see why it doesnt complie?
duh on me!
thanks

Code:

#include <stdio.h> 
#include <string.h> 

//convert integer to a string
char* itostr(char* str,int i) 
{ 
     sprintf(str,"%d :",i); 
return str; 
} 

int main(int argC,char* argV[], char* envp[]) 
{ 
   FILE *f; 

   if (argC<=1) { 
    printf("using as: tedsa filename \n"); 
    return(0); 
   } 

   // make new file name
   char* filename=argV[]; 
   char* pch=strchr(filename,'.'); 
   int a=strlen(filename); 
   int b=strlen(pch); 
   char dest[255]=""; 
   char* tes=strncpy(dest,filename,a-b); 
    
   char* lis=".lis"; 
   tes= strcat(tes,lis); 

   printf(tes); 

   f=fopen(filename,"r"); 
     
FILE* f2=fopen(tes,"w"); 
    fputs("************",f2); 
     fputs(tes,f2); 
     fputs("************\n",f2); 
   if (!f) 
       return 1; 

   char str[256]= ""; 
   int index=0; 
	while (!feof(f)){ 
      
		fgets(str,256,f); 

		char tempstr[10]=""; 
		itostr(tempstr,index); 
		fputs(tempstr,f2); 
		fputs(str,f2); 
		printf("%s",str); 
		index++; 
	} 

   fclose(f); 
   fclose(f2); 
   return 0; 
}

Code:

char* filename=argV[];

should be

Code:

char* filename=argV[1];

You have errors from the compiler - great!

Now read them, and see what they say.

They're not being given just for the hell of it.

On an older compiler, you'll have a lot of errors just because several variables are first declared, later than the old standard allowed. If so, just move the declarations up when they belong, and move the if(argC...) if statement, down below the variable declarations.

Then it compiles OK.

**quzah** · 10-26-2009

If it won't compile, you need to pay attention to why it won't compile. Pay attention to warning messages and error messages. Otherwise you'll be a terrible programmer with no hair.

Oops I took the 1 out earlier and forgot to put it back.

Okay it says this

dos12.c
dos12.c(21) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'type'
dos12.c(22) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'type'
dos12.c(23) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'type'
dos12.c(24) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'type'
dos12.c(25) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'type'
dos12.c(26) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'type'
dos12.c(28) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'type'

I looked and another compiler of mine that say missing "}" before char*

I am not lazy I just went thru it and looked for where it might need the above and nothing worked. I walked thru each line and tried to see where the compiler was telling me at line 21 there is a ; and before that it looks right.
if you cant help me what do I do when I see the above errors?
I used miracle c compiler which is cool and it says

Miracle C Compiler (r4.1), written by bts.
Compiling c:\code\dos11.c
itostr
main

c:\code\dos11.c: line 21: Parse Error, expecting `'}''
'char*'
aborting compile

I do appreicate you being tough on me..but I did look at it line by line
thanks anyways

**Elysia** · 10-26-2009

Do not use Miracle C. Use a real C compiler such as the one in Visual Studio or gcc.
Then move up all your variables to the beginning of the function (or use C99 using gcc).
Now you will get different errors, and they probably are not syntax errors, except for the missing "1" in argv.

**Adak** · 10-26-2009

I haven't run it yet, but Turbo C did compile this version of the program:

Code:

#include <stdio.h> 
#include <string.h> 

//convert integer to a string
char* itostr(char* str,int i) 
{ 
     sprintf(str,"%d :",i); 
return str; 
} 

int main(int argC,char* argV[], char* envp[]) 
{ 
   FILE *f, *f2; 

   // make new file name
   char* filename=argV[1]; 
   char* pch=strchr(filename,'.'); 
   char str[256]= ""; 
   char tempstr[10]=""; 

   int a=strlen(filename); 
   int b=strlen(pch); 
   
   int index=0; 

   char dest[255]=""; 
   char* tes=strncpy(dest,filename,a-b); 
    
   char* lis=".lis"; 

   if (argC<=1) { 
    printf("using as: tedsa filename \n"); 
    return(0); 
   } 


   tes= strcat(tes,lis); 

   printf(tes); 

   f=fopen(filename,"r"); 
     
    f2=fopen(tes,"w"); 
    fputs("************",f2); 
     fputs(tes,f2); 
     fputs("************\n",f2); 
   if (!f) 
       return 1; 

	while (!feof(f)){ 
      
		fgets(str,256,f); 


		itostr(tempstr,index); 
		fputs(tempstr,f2); 
		fputs(str,f2); 
		printf("%s",str); 
		index++; 
	} 

   fclose(f); 
   fclose(f2); 
   return 0; 
}

adaka and elysia
wow thanks yeah I will look for turbo c and GCC i hear they are good
will try hey thanks for your help. i really like this program
it is cool to try to real others work to understand code better
wow thanks for your valuable time what a cool forum
and I do again appreciate you being hard on me...it is essential.
that is why you guys have gotten as good as you have.
thank you so much for your guidance.
-tbites!
ps. I hope someday I can help others as much as you guys do!

**Elysia** · 10-26-2009

Do NOT use Turbo C. It is another antique that Adak foolishly tends to use anyway, despite the entire board being unified that using it is a Bad Idea™.
Also try indenting the code more appropriately. Good indentation makes it easy to read.

**tbites** · 10-26-2009

okay thanks yeah I tried to compile it and used visual studio 2008 command line
and used the cl dos13.c I called it and it compile fine but bugs out darn!
I dont know what else to do elysia i mean there is no compile errror for this code
since adak moved the *f2 up to the FILE like this FILE *f, *f2;
but no more errors but it bugs out at run time? is there a tool
i can find that will debug at run time? man the code looks okay i am sure it is
a procedure thing with this code huh? thank you!

**Elysia** · 10-26-2009

Visual Studio has a debugger.
In the IDE, simply use F11 to step into the code. Use your mouse to watch variables. Use F10 to skip over code (otherwise it will enter most functions).

**tbites** · 10-26-2009

Not to bug you too much and I will try the debugger in vs 2008
but where can I can info on this debug log that windows xp pushes out
I ran the program dos13.exe that it compiled to and it
hung and this debug file was made. I have no clue really what it is ssaying
where could I get info on this runtime debug infor? thanks
thank you for your help really cool of you.

will try hey thanks for your help. i really like this program
it is cool to try to real others work to understand code better
wow thanks for your valuable time what a cool forum
and I do again appreciate you being hard on me...it is essential.
that is why you guys have gotten as good as you have.
thank you so much for your guidance.
-tbites!
ps. I hope someday I can help others as much as you guys do!

I would recommend using microsoft's free visual C compiler or gcc.

I use Turbo C because I can almost use it blindfolded, after all these years with it, and it has certain headers, like conio.h, that I find very useful.

Today, it's all about programming in a 32 or 64 bit environment, like Windows or Linux. Turbo C/C++ is just 16 bit, but it has a good running speed, anyway. Limited memory is the main problem I've run across. Oh, and getting the floating point library to link in. That one is funny!

Turbo C/C++ (plain old Turbo C is buggy, so don't get that versiion, even if you want a Turbo C compiler, get the C/C++, and then just use the C compiler that comes with it)

You want to use a more modern compiler than turbo C/C++. For anything serious, I use MS Visual C myself. I can't work as quickly, but it's a much better product, especially for working in Windows.

thanks big guy! yeah I can see once you get use to it!
hee hee; and visual studio is definity a learning curve and really overwhelming wow but yeah someone told me that i need to delcare my variables at the top of the main() cause visual studio 2008 doesnt support c99 standard c?
does that sound right going to try wow have i learned a lot already from this experience that is why i like to grab code and play with it to learn. i really learn so much more.

)) thank you for your valuable time and expereince sir!
