Line Parsing and this loop

[Joshua-NSW]

The user enters a set of characters, that i copy into an array right.

Then i have a loop which goes through the characters, and when it finds a space, it breaks

so i have the if statement for that set up like this...


if (userentry[index] == ' '){
break;
}

and i have tried varients such as

asciivalue = 32; /Noting that 32 is a space in ascii/
pointer = &asciiavalue;
spacechar = *pointer;

if (userentry[index] == spacechar){
break;
}

and also..

spacechar = ' ';
if (userentry[index] == spacechar){
break;
}


Yet, none of them work, so if anyone has a suggestion, could you please help me?

BTW its in C (obviously considering this is the C board)
and its written in DEV C++ by bloodshed

[bigtamscot]

char string[ ]="This,should,break,after,the,space if not you have this";
int len, i = 0;

len = strlen(string);
while(i < len)
{
   putchar(string[i]);
   if(string[i]==' ') break;
   i++;
}

This should work, if not it maybe down to how you are storing the characters in the array.
