partial string matchin strstr

[bazzano]

Hey guys im trying to use strstr to implement the partial string search. Im actually searching through a file using a linked list and trying to match "Slazenger" and make it find
Slazenger Classic Racquet

void deleteRecord(TennisStoreType* ts)
{

  StockNodeType* curStock;
  StockNodeType* prevStock;
  CustomerNodeType*  curCust;
  CustomerNodeType*  prevCust;

  char inputString[DESCRIPTION_MAX + 1];
  char *description ;
  char tmpsurname[SURNAME_MAX];
  char *surname;
  char answerInput;
  char *firstName;
  char *subDesc;

  int finished;
    
  do
  {    
  printf("\n\nInput String (1-40 characters) ");
    
  fgets(inputString, DESCRIPTION_MAX +2 , stdin);

  /* check if the input is longer then the buffer (40 chars)
     Validating input of 40 characters for string*/

  if(inputString[strlen(inputString) -1] != '\n')
  {
       printf("\nProduct description too delete less then 40 chars!\n");
       readRestOfLine();
       /* flush the buffer */
  }
  if(inputString[0] == '\n')
  {
    printf("Returning back to main menu\n");
    finished = FAILURE;

  }
 
 }while(inputString[strlen(inputString) -1 ] != '\n');

  /* tokenize the data fields to be searched*/    
  description = strtok(inputString, "\n");
  surname = strtok(inputString, "\n");  
  firstName = strtok(inputString, "\n");

    

  curStock = ts -> headStock;
  prevStock = NULL;

  curCust = ts -> headCust;
  prevCust = NULL;
    
  printf("Are you sure you want to delete\n");     
 
  do
  {
      answerInput = fgetc(stdin);

      if(answerInput == 'y')
      {
        printf("you pressed yes!\n");
      }
      else if(answerInput == 'n')
      {

        printf("You pressed no!\n");
        return;
        
      }

  } while (answerInput != '\n');

  strcpy(inputString, subDesc);
  
  if(subDesc = strstr(("Slazenger Classic Racquet"), 
    ("Slazenger")) != NULL)
  {
     printf("found a match %s", inputString);
  }
  else
  {
     printf("no match!");
  }
  
  
  while((curStock != NULL) && ((curCust != NULL) &&

       strcmp(inputString,curStock->description) &&
       strcmp(inputString, curCust -> surname) &&
       strcmp(inputString, curCust -> firstName)!= MIN_INPUT))
  {
       prevStock = curStock;
       curStock = curStock->nextStock;

       /* searching through the customer nodes
       if not null keep getting the next node
       for searching*/

       prevCust = curCust;
       curCust = curCust -> nextCust;


  }

  
     

  if ((curStock == NULL)  || (curCust == NULL))
  {
       printf("This item is not listed! \"%s\" .\n", 
             inputString);

       printf("Try again\n");

       return;
  }
  else if ((prevStock == NULL) || (prevCust == NULL))
  {

       
         ts->headStock = curStock->nextStock;
         ts->headCust  = curCust -> nextCust;
  }
  else
  {
         prevStock->nextStock = curStock->nextStock;
         prevCust ->nextCust = curCust -> nextCust;
  }      
  
         ts-> stockCount --;
         ts-> customerCount--;

         printf("\nTotal stock or customer after deletion: %d\n"
                , ts -> stockCount);

         printf("%s", inputString);
         
    
     


}

So ? What's the problem ?

[bazzano]

Well im getting a warning saying few too arguments and i am not sure as to if im doing the partial matching correctly.

Too few arguments on which line? Calling which function?
