Thread: Quick problem aboutf scanf

Ah, thank you! It worked!

But for some reason it's not reading the whole config file. My first post had different code than what I have now:

In my config file:

Code:

italic
bold 0;31 # red
iTAlic 0;34 # this is the line in effect for italic
underline 0;32 # green
italic 0;35 # overriden by line 3

In my code:

Code:

int main(void) {
	
	FILE *configFile;
	FILE *htmlFile;
	char possibleTags[NTAGS][TAGLEN];
	char ascii[BUFSIZE][BUFSIZE];
	char extra[BUFSIZE][BUFSIZE];
	char buffer[BUFSIZE];

	int i = 0, n = 0, spaceCount = 0;

	/*******************************************
	** READ CONFIG FILE FOR POSSIBLE TAGS
	********************************************/
	if((configFile = fopen(CONFIGFILE, "rb")) == 0) {
		perror("fopen\n");
		exit(1);	
	}	

	while ( fgets(buffer, sizeof(buffer), configFile) != NULL ) {
		for(i = 0; buffer[i] != '\0'; i++) {
			buffer[i] = tolower(buffer[i]);
			if(isspace(buffer[i])) {
				spaceCount++;	
			}
		}
		if(spaceCount >= 2) {
			fscanf(configFile, "%s %s %s", possibleTags[n], ascii[n], extra[n]);
			n++;
		}
	}
	fprintf(stdout, possibleTags);
	fclose(configFile);
        return 0;
}

When I use the fprintf to output the array, it only displays "bold" as one of the tags it scanned.

Interesting, would it be possible to validate the input as well? Like...what I'm trying to do here:

Code:

	while ( fgets(buffer, sizeof(buffer), configFile) != NULL ) {
		for(i = 0; buffer[i] != '\0'; i++) {
			buffer[i] = tolower(buffer[i]);
			if(isspace(buffer[i])) {
				spaceCount++;	
			}
		}
		if(spaceCount >= 2) {
			fscanf(configFile, "%s %s %[^\n]", possibleTags[n], ascii[n], extra[n]);
			if(ascii[n] == '\0') {
				continue;	
			}
			n++;
		}
	}

I want it to check if the ASCII code is null, and if it is...then it will skip the tag and go to the next one for input. If the ASCII code isn't null, then it'll add that ..input of the fscanf into the array...or am I getting the wrong logic??

I still keep getting an output of :

Code:

bold

inputs of my htmlfile here

So yeah, it keeps reading only 1 tag.

This is what I have in my config file too:

Code:

italic
bold 0;31 # red
iTAlic 0;34 # this is the line in effect for italic
underline 0;32 # green
italic 0;35 # overriden by line 3

It skips the first line...because it doesn't have enough spaces (which is good and exactly what I want), and then it reads "bold" but it doesn't read the next few lines...and I have no idea why
