Thread: read string with fgets followed by another string needed to read

Try something like this...

Code:

int main()
{
  char inputString[MAX_STRING_SIZE];
  char stringOne[MAX_STRING_SIZE];
  char stringTwo[MAX_STRING_SIZE];
  char stringThree[MAX_STRING_SIZE];

  /* read long string from file into inputString[] */

  /* search forward for start of first word (first non-white space) */

  /* search forward for end of first word (next white space) */

  /* copy data between the two points into stringOne */

  /* search back for end of 3rd word (last non-white space) */

  /* search back for start of 3rd word (next white space) */

  /* copy data between two points into stringThree */

  /* stringTwo lies between endStringOne and startStringThree */
  /* minus the white space - find start and end */

  /* copy data between two points into stringTwo */

  return 0;
}

I'll leave you to fill in the gaps
