Thread: Writing a program to remove comments. Not working

Initially I am keeping it simple. I amonly checking comments between /* and */. If found true, count the caharcters between them & replace with blanks. That's my simple logic. Beats me , why it is not working?

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
int c =0;
int i =0;
int m =0;
int s[1000];
int in_quotes = 0;


for (i=0; i < 999 && (c=getchar())!= EOF; ++i)
{

	s[i] = c;

	 if (in_quotes == 0)

	{
	if (s[i] == '/' && s[i+1] == '*')
{

		i = i+2;
		in_quotes = 1;
}

	if (s[i] == '*' && s[i+1] == '/')
			{
				i =i+2;
				in_quotes = 0;
			}
	if (in_quotes == 1)
	{
	i++;


	for (m = 0;m <=i; m++)
	{

		s[m] = ' ';
		}
	}
	printf ("%s", s);
}
	 else
	 {
		 printf ("%c", s[i]);
	 }
}

}
