Guys,
maybe this can't be done reading in a file with fgets(buffer[128],
fp),
then calling skiptags(), conditionally, to while () past ',' and '>'.
I know I need to calll skipTags with its address, skipTags
(&buffer);, but then how to i
handle the variable "s" in skipTags? Anybody?
The skipTags() you wrote doesn't return its result.
Without actually trying it I think this will work:
// redo, skip TAGS
char *skipTags( char *s )
{
if( *s == '<' ) {
while( *s && ( *s++ != '>' ) )
; // on a line of its own to make sure you see it
}
return s;
}
When not using a count to indicate how much data is in a char* you
should always test for null. Testing for null is not a sure fire way
to prevent buffer over runs but its better than nothing.
Use the above something like this:
char *buffPtr;
buffPtr = skipTags( buffPtr ); // advance over < > tags
