This is fun.
Here's a program to take any sentence you copy and paste from an online
article onto the command line, and expands interword spacing to a
random 1 thru 5 spaces, for input into your condenser. When using my
program, note that I didn't program circuit breakers for exceeding
BIG_ENOUGH.
======================================================
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<stdio.h>
#include<time.h>
#include<string.h>
#define BIG_ENOUGH 1000
int main(int argc, char * argv[]){
char buf[BIG_ENOUGH];
char *pch = buf;
time_t tt;
long seed = time(&tt);
srandom(seed);
int i;
for(i=1; i < argc; i++){
int spaces = 1 + 5 * random()/RAND_MAX;
strncpy(pch, argv[i], strlen(argv[i]));
pch += strlen(argv[i]);
memset(pch, ' ', spaces);
pch += spaces;
*pch = '\0';
}
printf("buf=>%s<\n", buf);
return 0;
}
