If anyone could help I would really appreciate it. Thanks-

In C++, enumerated types can be used to good advantage - not so with most C compilers.
Read the tutorial link in the post up above, for crying out loud. Especially the "Note to C programmers: ..."

All you need is just:

int OutText = 1;
int OutAttrb = 1;

as global variables, preferrably.

Now as you scan through your document, anytime you are Outside ANY html tag, AND outside any html attribute, you're ready to copy the text out of the html file, and put it into the new text file your program is creating.

Don't make this harder than it needs to be, please!

im sorry you guys I know im retarded. I just got my feet wet in C a couple of months ago. Thank you adak and dwks for trying but i just dont get it. dwks i tried the enum out but didn't get it to work and now im tryin out adak's idea. here is my crappy code---

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
void main()
{
        FILE *fopen(),*fp;
        char c;
        int InsideTag =1;
        int InsideAttrib =1;


        printf("Enter Filename:");
        scanf("&#37;s",&fp);
        fp = fopen("home.html","r");

        while(!feof(fp))
        {
        if(fp==InsideTag)
        {
                printf("%s", InsideTag); /* just to test it out */
        }


                putchar(c);
                c=getc(fp);

        }
        fclose(fp);

}

Thanks to everybody though for trying

Thanks- That wasnt the only error right because it still doesnt do anything?

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
void main()
{

        char c;
        int InsideTag =1;
        int InsideAttrib =1;

        FILE *open(), *fp;
        char filename[100];
        fgets(filename, 100, stdin);
        fp = fopen(filename, "r");

        fp = fopen("home.html","r");

        while(!feof(fp))
        {
        if(filename==InsideTag)
        {
                printf("&#37;s", InsideTag);
        }


                putchar(c);
                c=getc(fp);

        }
        fclose(fp);

}

Its also worth remembering that fgets() puts a new line character at the end of the string. You will need to replace the newline char with a null char which is easy to do.

Something like this would work placed after the fgets() call. But it also require string.h to be included.

Code:

filename[strlen(filename)-1]='\0';

Thats what im stuck on. I dont know how I would utilize the if statement to check if its text or not. Help anyone?-Thanks

Okay, maybe thats not the only step i need. At least I thought it was reading each char.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
void main()
{

        FILE *open(), *fp;
        char filename[100];
        char c, a;
        int InsideTag =1;
        int InsideAttrib =1;
        printf("Enter Filename: ");
        scanf("&#37;s", &a);
        fgets(a,100, stdin);
        filename[strlen(filename)-1]='\0';
        fp = fopen("home.html", "r");


        while(!feof(fp))
        {
         if(.....................)
         }
}

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
int main()
{

        FILE *open, *fp;
        char filename[100];
        char c, a;
        int InsideTag =1;
        int InsideAttrib =1;
        printf("Enter Filename: ");
        scanf("&#37;s", &filename);

        filename[strlen(filename)-1]='\0';
        fp = fopen("filename", "r");

        while((filename=getchar())!=EOF){
                putchar(filename);
        }

        return 0;

}

Getting there?

I'd use fgets(). your prog will crash using scanf("%s", filename); if there is a space in the filename.

With this:

Code:

        while((filename=getchar())!=EOF){
                putchar(filename);
        }

EOF is an integer value. filename is a character array.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
int main(argc, argv)
int argc; char *argv;
{
  char inputchar;
  int count = 0;
  char filename[100];
        FILE *open(), *fp;
        printf("Enter Filename: ");
        fgets(filename, sizeof(filename), stdin);
        filename[strlen(filename)-1]='\0';
        fp = fopen(filename, "r");
  while ( ( inputchar= fgetc(stdin) )!=EOF )
  {  if ( inputchar != '<' && count == 0 )
     { fputc( inputchar,stdout );
     }
     else
     if ( inputchar == '<' )
     { count++;
     }
     else
     if (inputchar == '>' )
     { count--;
     }

  }
}

With the help of an engineer I got this so far.
