Creating command line

[PHPnerd]

Hi

I'm making an application with a commandline. Not, starting the application with arguments, but a commandline within it.

So, i reseived data with scanf() and i've to check it.

My question: how do i put the command in an array as argv[] ?
So, that the user sends:
logon phpnerd 8549256

and the fucntions puts that in an array:
argv[0] = "logon";
argv[1] = "phpnerd";
argv[2] = "8549256";

Thnx

Why strcpy is not good?

[PHPnerd]

copying is not the problem, but exploding it by the ' ' (space) is the problem

You want to parse the string stopping on whitespaces?
scanf("%s %s %s", buf1, buf2, buf3);

//yeah, yeah, I know %s is not safe - but just to show the idea

%20s is better for buffer long enough

The second approach - use strchr + strncpy for example

aah, ok, then i have to make a scanf() in stead of gets() :P

(ive to create all functions by myself)

Never use gets.
Use fgets instead of gets.

[PHPnerd]

lolz, i can't use scanf() and fgets() because i dont have they

Who has a scanf() function for me?

PHPnerd

Um, what can you use?

[PHPnerd]

Wait a moment...

gets()
printf()
vsprintf_help();
sprintf();
printf();
vprintf();
vsprintf();
strcmp ();
strpbrk ();
strspn();
strchr ();
strcpy();
puts();
putch();
memcpy();
memset();
memsetw();
strlen();

and any other functions, but not for this needed (drivers)

I can add some new functions if needed

so use strchr to find a space
and memcpy to copy a regeon from one space to another

[PHPnerd]

do i need sizeof() for argument 3 of memcpy() ?

PHP

No, sizeof is of no help here...
