splitting up a string (in C)
Author
hello everybody,
After years of playing around with VB I''m currently writing my frst game in C (it''s a 2d jump''n''run game and making surprisingly good progress). However I have a problem writing text on the screen. I''ve written a function to write a single character (well, it''s actually blitting a graphic) at the time. What I now need to know is how do I split a string into individual characters? (in C)
Thanks!
here is a junk of turbo c code .. theStrwill contain each character of the theStr
char *theStr = "madCode";
for (int i=0;i {
cout<<theStr;<br> }<br>u comapare the theStr ascii value to see which character is in it then u use the appropiate picture and blit it on screen<br>hope u got ur answer<br><br>_reza_ </i>
char *theStr = "madCode";
for (int i=0;i {
cout<<theStr;<br> }<br>u comapare the theStr ascii value to see which character is in it then u use the appropiate picture and blit it on screen<br>hope u got ur answer<br><br>_reza_ </i>
sorry for the prev post .. the above code is right........
char *theStr ="madCode";
for(int i=0;i{
cout<<theStr;
}
char *theStr ="madCode";
for(int i=0;i{
cout<<theStr;
}
jeeeee man something is wrong with this posting thing ... it aint posting the code i am writing
the loop contains a check i = 0 ; i < strlen( theStr) ; i ++
plz adjust
the loop contains a check i = 0 ; i < strlen( theStr) ; i ++
plz adjust
In C, strings really are just arrays of characters, with a '\0' to mark the end. So, you would do something like:
And, reza, your code has a number of problems. First, it is generally not recommended to use a char* to point at a string literal - better use a const char* or a char[]. Second, this cannot be Turbo C code, since C doesn't have operator overloading, and yet, you're trying to do C++ stream I/O

It''s called HTML, < marks the beginning of a tag, and [i] is interpreted by the forum to mean italic. If you want to post code, better put it in a [source] box. That, or learn the HTML entity codes. For example, if you want to be sure you''ll get an <, you have to type <. Simple, no ?
