C - read string with spaces [closed]












-7














I'm a student and I have to create a program that will be something as automatic cash register, like in shops. And the price that 'customer' have to pay will be randomly generated and also the 'money' that he pays with. So for example customer has to pay '25.48' (this will be randomly generated). And money for example ' 20.00 5.00 0.20 0.20 0.05 0.02 0.01 '. And the only problem is, that I don't know how to read this 'string' (money). I know how to read that total price, bcause it's without spaces and I basically know lenght of that input. But I really need help with that string with spaces. I tried to search the internet but I wasn't succesfull.
Thanks for any help.

  • To read data, use fread. Are you saying that you don't know how to parse the string? Check the documentation for strtol and strtod (eg, man strtod)

  • If the "money" is just input (whether file or stdin), just simply while (scanf ("%lf", &amount) == 1)) { /* do something with amount */ } It all depends on what else you are reading and how you are getting the input. (of course fscanf for a file). Ordinarily, you want to read a line at a time and then parse (e.g. fgets then sscanf), but if it is just a line with an unknown number of numbers, this is one circumstance you just scanf until you run out of numbers and do something with the number in between.

Take a look at the strtok and strtof functions. You can use strtok to parse the string in a loop using space as a delimiter and then strtof to convert each value string to floating point.

  • (hopefully strtod at minimum if working with money :) There is no need to call strtok to tokenize numbers (that's what the endptr parameter to strtod is for)
