Thread: punctuation

Hi ,

I dont succed to do the following:

I want to eliminate the double quote at the beginning of a word as I read it with fscanf function:

What I did it :

Code:

while (!feof(filein))
{ 
    fscanf(filein,"%s",buffer);
    if( buffer[0]==' \" ')
      buffer[0]=' \0';
{
fprintf(fout,"%s \n",buffer);

When I print the words , at the word with the double quote at the beginning, it is a blank , and then continue with the other words.

like

<----suppose to have the word HERE

Thank you

you will have to post actual contents of the file, not what you think it should be.

indeed

Code:

 buffer[0]=' \0';

causes buffer[0] to content NULL character indicating end of string.So does fprintf(); cause to print nothing or blank as at very beginning i.e. buffer[0] it receives NULL character i.e. end of string.

Thanks & Regards
