    Decrypting problems

    Can someone help me with this issue. How can I decrypt the message, seems to me it's impossible to return the original message.

    Code:

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

    Perhaps you can post better code - you know, actually compiles.

    > machine> rotor_count ++;
    What?

    > int str_ index (const char * str, int taht) {
    What?

    > if (machine rotors [i] .jarg)
    What!?
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    I always thought that to decrypt with the enigma you just feed in the cipher text with the same initial settings used to create it.

    True, that's how it works!

    taht is letter, jarg is next. Still nothing, any ideas?

    Here is an example how this program should work.

    The final result sould look like this. The cipher must return the initial message into the folder.

    Is this a joke?
    The program you've posted is senseless.
    It has spaces where they are not allowed.
    It's missing punctuation characters in some places.
    It refers to struct members that do not exist.
    So it will not compile and is impossible to make sense of.

    You need to post a real program.

    Not sure what happened in line 137th translated into english.

    So far, I have managed to open the textfile, read it line by line, and display it on the console:

    I'm working on Enigma, and my code is almost complete but I am having problems with reading sentences from a textfile (txt), storing it in an array, decoding it, and storing it again in a textfile. Storing it back in a txt file gets me nowhere.

    And yes, your use of gets() is an ACTUAL buffer overflow if the user types in the expected 5 characters.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
