file read operation question

[sagar474]

is there any better way to do this
I need to read a line of chars separated by space in a file.

while(1)
    {
        c=fgetc(fp);
        if(c==EOF)break;
        if(c!=' ')
        {
            a[k]=c-48;
            if(c=='X' )a[k]=10;
            else if(c=='/')a[k]+=48;
            else if(c=='\n' ||feof(fp))
            {
                a[k]=11;
                break;
            }
            ++k;
        }

    }

Use strtok() for example


#include <string.h>
...
char *token;
char *line = "LINE TO BE SEPARATED";
char *search = " ";


/* Token will point to "LINE". */
token = strtok(line, search);


/* Token will point to "TO". */
token = strtok(NULL, search);


enjoy

If you're in windows .net (c, c#, vb), this dotnet function will do it for you, it'll put all the characters in a string[] array
string s = "h e l l o ";
string[] sSplit = s.Split(" ");

and of course, to read the file into s
s = System.IO.File.ReadAllText("c:\neals.txt");

but I need a fastest way to do this in c,
my program works on Linux platform.

 

[aospinas]

strtok() work on C. (linux plataform)

What do you save in a[k]?

What is the format of the file?

What is the format of the file?
